Motorcycles forum yielded a lot of good advice

I dropped my bike and needed help making a diagnosis...
So I was pulling out of the stop'n'rob, dutifully buying my wife a hershey's special dark bar, and a tool in a ford came barreling down the street. I had to click my front brake to avoid being hit.

I ride a '73 Honda Scrambler cl350. My first bike. I bought it when it pretty rough, worked on it and got it running myself. It's my baby and I'm sure you know what I mean.

Anyway, I suffered a small bruise on my leg. No big deal. The bike's front end seemed way out of whack on the way home. It's drivable, but something is not right.

The handlebars are no perpendicular to the wheel - slightly off. I need a checklist for what I need to check out and fix to make it right. Obviously, my wheel may be out of true, almost certainly, but I think there's more. Can you adjust the bars to the forks? It couldn't be my forks, could it? I pretty much just tipped it over.

Check out these insightful responses I received in just 12 hours!

Thanks, everyone!
