Oh it was pulling all over the place when I rode it home from the scene. I was too lazy to pull the tool box out of my girls truck to fit the bike in there, not to mention I dont think I could have pushed it up the ramps. I figured that was just the forks looking more like noodles, lol. You mean with good forks and there is still a pull then there is a good chance the frame is bent?
