Bent Front Fork Before & After

I just cleaned out my sd-stick from my phone's camera memory and found these photos of the results of my recent "Roswell Incident" wherein I crushed the front fork of my bike trying to park the RV in cousin Darel Devenport's yard. 

The new fork has already been installed on the bike, and the bent version is shown next to it.  I can probably use my acetylene torch to heat this up and straighten it out, for my next fork-bending adventure, but I worry about the strength of the assembly afterwards.  This one has already been re-welded from another curb-jumping bent fork disaster.  Don't know how much this thin metal can take....
