MY fIRST sCrATCH
Man that feeling I got with my first scratch. It really sucks.. I thought it would be a good idea to wash my bike. So while washing my bike I thought that my Sissy bar needed to be washed too. So like a Dumb A** I set the sissy bar on the bike but did'nt lock the clamps. So when i went to rinse the bike the sissy bar fell over and laid 2 nasty scratches on the rear fender. I am so stressed over this. am i over reacting are does everyone else feel like sh*t when they got there first.

Yeah, I've had that feeling too.....then I eventually decide that its a battle scar that adds character. After that I go completely **** and try to gently work it with the scratch removers. If they are deep, down to the metal, get some touch up paint and carefully work the area. I keep noticing the rock dings and other marks every time I wash it. Once the dust and bugs get back on I forget about it until the next cleaning. Time heals all wounds.

Think you have to choose, Show bike or a bike you ride. I try to wash mine once a month and ride it the rest of the time. Gets a wax job and some metal polish at the wash and some leather care but they were bought to ride not look at Oh yeah, I clean the windshield when the bugjuice gets bad.

Hey if it makes you feel any better, I laid mine right flat on it's right side on a gravel road about 2 weeks ago... at about a dead stop thank goodness. Too much front brake + loose gravel + kids about to throw rock at me, caused me to completely mess up.
...haven't see the kids walk down my street since.... Evidentally the air turned blue around me, and I was questioning their fatherhood.... something like that.....

Everyone here probably has a one or two reminders that their bikes are for riding not just for show. If you ride your bike you'll eventually going to get a scratch or ding somewhere. It sucks but what you gonna do. archergodwin I laughed pretty good at "kids about to throw rock at me" so I must apologize. Hope you were ok.
