Steering problem

[Bomberman]

Well, following my crash on Monday my bike feels odd. I went down on the right hand side and today as I ride about the bike practically falls to the right but needs pushing to turn left (not literally, but that's how it feels). So I took it to my local garage and asked one of the lads to have a look at it. He says its all straight, but that the right hand bar is clearly bent. So that'll need replacing. However, could this alone cause the symptoms I'm experiencing?
Cheers

Yes, because in your mind you've got used to holding the handlebars in a certain way while going straight but because the bar is now bent that's now out the window !

If it still is going one way then check the wheel alignment and/or brakes are not binding on one side. The last thing to check to see that the bike's frame hasn't been bent if all else fails.

If you've had it checked and everything straight apart from the handlebar then could you be inducing counter-steering with the bent bars?

Do the bars turn ok, any sigh of notchiness (is that a word )?
Are the fork seals ok?

Other than that usual suggestion for handling problems is check your tyre pressures.

Cheers lads
There doesn't appear to be any other damage, the fork seals are all good etc. On further riding today (off to get a new bar from the breakers, but it was mislabelled ) its bent down, but I think more crucially back towards me. Giving me the impression that my right arm is crooked and my left arm reaching (if you see ) which unbalances the whole feeling of riding.
Oddly though, by the time I got home I was pretty much used to it
