Just had the CG125 knocked over...

Steering lock was on, chained up, cover on it...

Bike just got reversed into, knocked THROUGH a brick wall, and down about a foot onto its side on the floor...

Now, bike looks ok, no visible damage (except a slight buckle in the wheel, and the headlight is out of alignment...)

But I can't get the steering lock to 'lock'

Usually you put the key in the lock, turn anti-clockwise, turn the handles to the left, push the key IN so the lock barel goes into the shaft, then turn the key back and remove...

I can turn the key, but can't push it in...

Trip to the Honda garage to get it repaired??

Yeah was the 'rents reversing into the drive a bit too fast...  I'll get some quotes from places tomorrow, hopefully won't cost too much... just with the steering lock being welded on, not sure how it will get done.

Ideally get frame checked for alignment/damage.  If frame bent, it will be a write-off I imagine
