Guess I am not up to speed on the trials and travails of Jeremy. Was he thinking of joining a nunnery? A travel group? A 1% club? Dare I say, the Democratic Party?

Well, you can try the paint. If you don't like the outcome, buy the cover

We don't have touch up guys at our dealerships. And the body shops don't seem to want to touch bikes.

I'd bet there is a guy who works at a body shop that would do it on off hours. Guess on my part but about 40 or 50 bucks, American, would be more than ample to satisfy a painter for that little bit of work.

Probably. Body guys seem to always need some extra cash

Well Men, I'm off to go stroll through the great forest of Northern Alberta. I bid you Adieu...
