Default Bad day

Well first of all my girl friend i was going out with for 2 yrs broke up with me then later that afternoon I went for a ride to take my mind of it and had my first crash, i was cruising around a little country road not even speeding cause i didn't feel like it went around a blind corner at about 60km/h the corner was sharper than i thought so i leaned over a fair bit and low and behold the road had tiny bits of gravel all over it, couldn't avoid it or straighten up to stop cause the road was really narrow, so my bike just came out from under me and slid across the road so did i, lucky i had my gear on only got some scrapes on my knee and hip but my bike has it's clutch and brake lever snaped off aswell as craking and scraping my fairings.
So luckily i was able to walk away from it with minimal damage but now my when i ride it it feels floaty and unstable when i just start to turn in to corners and the headstock dosn't line up with my front wheel does any one know what could be wrong with it?
and now i can't ride my bike for ages and can't go surfin cause my the scrape on my hip went really deep and the doctor said i couldn't go, plus i have to take a week of work cause i can't really walk all that well cause my knee is so bruised, all i can do is sit around and think bout my ex.
poor me, well thats my winging and complaining done for today.
cheers everyone

Sorry to hear about your mishaps man. That sucks, about the bike, but at least you aren't in the hospital. Hope you are able to get the bike fixed for not too much $$$.

Main thing is that your okay!! the bike can be fixed/replaced, you cannot! As far as you having nothing to do but think about the ex....well, they can be replaced too. Get healed and fix the bike and look for someone better!

It's gonna cost about $1500 AUD to replace my fairings, clutch and gear lever and get my forks fixed or might have to replace em.
pretty expensive but it'll be worth it once im up and ridin again.
