Just had the CG125 knocked over...
Steering lock was on, chained up, cover on it...
Bike just got reversed into by the parents, knocked THROUGH a brick wall, and down about a foot onto its side on the floor...
Now, bike looks ok, no visible damage (except a slight buckle in the wheel, and the headlight is out of alignment...)
But I can't get the steering lock to 'lock'
Usually you put the key in the lock, turn anti-clockwise, turn the handles to the left, push the key IN so the lock barel goes into the shaft, then turn the key back and remove...
I can turn the key, but can't push it in...
As for any other damage, I can't tell till its light tomorrow
Reckon its just a trip to the Honda garage or local backstreet jobbie to get it repaired?? Or should I prepare to get bummed by prices...

Oh dear... Have a closer look just to be sure there's no damage. A guy in a Porsche reversed and knocked my bike over a while ago, at the time I though the only damage was a bent shifter but for a few weeks after I noticed I had bad ache in my left fore arm when riding. I hadn't noticed but my left handle bar had been bent, it wasn't until BMW said they needed to replace it that I twigged...I had been riding a bit wonky on the bike for ages and I thought I had done some damage to my arm. 
As soon as the handle bar was fixed my arm was fine....so I'm just saying bikes are heavy and where the bike hits the grouynd there could be some bent bits. Check thoroughly before you ride.

Hope it isn't too bad but accidents happen I suppose.
As for parts I always found wemoto cheap for bits for my CG.

I'd be having a good check to make sure you don't have a bent frame or forks. Something had to be pushing on something else pretty hard to buckle that wheel.
