Default Brother dropped my bike

Hey, its beeen a long time since ive posted but i recently let my brother try to ride my bike around a hotel parking lot and he managed to pull one of those getting scared of the engine reving pull the clutch then pop it back out situations and of course off he went into the curb and off into the grass. Well there is no cosmetic damage other than a broken mirror lucky for him. I do notice that when i let go of the handle bars at slow speeds they shake a little back and forth. He hit the curb pretty hard could that have caused the balance to be fucked up or do you think he bent the rim. It looks straight to me no dents or anything but the damn thing just shakes a little. It goes away at higher speeds. Any input will gratly appreciated thanks.

That may have done something to the balance. Best thing to do is take it to get looked at if you can. Thats strange that it goes away at high speeds. When my bike was off balance, it would appear at higher speeds and not lower. Get it checked.

Have it looked at. Could be something slightly bent that isn't as noticeable at higher speeds. I agree that a balance problem usually gets worse as speed goes up.
