Buy/beg/borrow one to replace it with. If you're really poor, throw yourself on the mercy of someone who knows their stuff and get them to bend it and check it for cracks etc. But someone probably has a cheap, generic fork that will fit with little money down.
Its just not worth taking the risk IMHO. Plus new forks are fun.
i may ask for help for a temporary fix, but i do want to get a new fork asap. i don't intend to keep this for long as it's obviously been compromised.
as far as not knowing...it was a combination of alcohol and adrenalin. i was being chased by a car, a la the scene in quicksilver, and i'd been drinking, so the combination of things leads to a little fuzziness on how the fork got bent and my face and chest got all ****ed up.
