Has anybody else been given such a warning?

Medical professionals often confuse dirt biking injuries with street riding, and lump them together. The impacts and injuries are vastly different. Their recommendations often reflect this confusion.
Are you sure the steering head of the frame is bent? The forks being bent could cause the front fender to touch the radiator.
Good luck on all of it.
Heal quickly and well!
