MY fIRST sCrATCH

Not me. I sell automotive paint. I plan on laying some custom paint on my bike this winter. I'm thinking of getting a second set of tins so I can change paint jobs on a regular basis. Someone put a small dent in my tank somehow. It bugs the heck out of my buddy every time he sees it. I tell him - no biggie, a little filler and sanding when I shoot the new paint, you'll never know it was there.
I'll probably use scratch resistant/self healing clear when I shoot it.

I have more than a few "battle scars". Don't mind em' so much now. But it is funny since I also enter bike shows (and do quite well usually), the thing that pisses me off is when a judge or someone points them out. I just laugh and let them know that its my daily rider too, not a trailer queen I bring to show off, or wrote a check for someone else to do the work.
I wish RIDE-IN-BIKE SHOWS would be just THAT, a bike that you RODE in, not on a trailer either.
I don't mind loosing to trailer queens now. I realize they are the ones that are really loosing out on actually riding something that was meant to do just that.

depending on the scratch you can lessen the severity with some touchup paint. I have some heavy nicks on my fender from the previous owner (under the sissy bar side plate). I filled them in with touch up and while they still can be seen they are much less noticable. scratching sux. it happens.

Anybody remember Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In? .... the guy on the tricycle....
imcworth - point is, yeah it sucks at the time, but it can be fixed if/when you want to.

2 scratches ? Heck , that's nothing. My wife took off on her new '08 SuperGlide a few weeks ago without securing the saddle bag buckles on one side.
Well, check this out. After only a few miles, it looks like someone did a little sandblasting.
She's doing better. I see her once a week in the place that takes away your belts & shoelaces.
