Default Riding Question

Im new to riding bike first off. Lately it seems that when I'm riding down the interstate or on the highway my bike seems to pull to the right. Kinda like when a car is is out of alignment. This has been freaken me out. Maby I just started noticing it because I'm more adept to the feel of riding or maby I started sitting on it wrong. It seriously scared me yesterday when I got caught in the rain and I was being pushed into the right lane. I didn't want to lean over too far to the left because the road was very slick but at the same time I didn't want to get hit by the car. What could be causing this? Is it just because roads are natually sloped to allow for run off?

Hi ill try to give you some info, it could very well b the way you are sitting on the bike, what kind? of bike is it? It could b that the bike is light and the wind is takin you. I bought my wife a 03 ninja 250 and it is all over the road sometimes, it could also b that your tire(s) are worn on one side, hope i helped a little

Worst case scenario: bent frame. 2nd to worst case scenario: bent fork tube. Could you have done anything catastrophic to the bike to have caused either of these?

Its a 200 F4. I droped it in my drive way the other day on the left side. It wasn't moving and it wasn't turned on. I just lost balance when I was getting off. I'm thinking it could be my suspension. I am light weight(130lb) compaired to the guy I just bought it from. I messed with the Fork rebound and preloading but that was before I started noticing this problem. Sometimes it feels like my rear tire fish tails for a moment when I'm going over a bump or stoping.
