Practice on it and the price drops like a rock. Its not a Paramount or a PX10, but it is a decent bike from that era. If I just wanted to do some practice, I would pick up a cheap Huffy or Roadmaster at a thrift store or garage sale and go to town on it.
As far as your KHS fork, see if it can be straightened (many can). A decent shop can do it for you. I have straightened some myself, and there are plenty of postings on straightening forks (Steel ones). The key is whether you did any damage to the rest of the frame. Then repair can get very costly.
