I hijacked this pic from TC's bike, but he had a similar incident, and didn't notice until years later that his frame had been bent. Make sure you take the tank off and check at these points also... You'll see where it put the stress of his impact to the frame.

Least you dont need parts replaced!
Why does everyone always need to be reminded of andreashweiss when it comes to parts needed threads?

Crash
It must have been the day for it.. I almost got it yesterday.. Lady in a Mustang, on her cell phone, just pulled right in front of me. I missed her maybe by 2 feet..Needless to say, I had some choice words for her! I was lucky I was going slow and had I been doing the speed limit, I don't think I could have avoided hitting her. Definitley ruined my ride!
