Man, I am so pissed right now[:@], just finished painting the bike last week, and took it for a ride today first time in like a month, and when I was pulling the bike in the garage, the front end locked up on some leaves, and there I went. Scratched up the bike and tore my jeans little bit. I so wanted to go to the track today, but I guess it's just not going to happen. I didn't put the cage back on the bike, if I did it would've helped big time. GRRRRRRRRR, I am not sure if I want to fix it, or what, the riding season is almost over. I just haven't had good week.

 

leave it, adds character.

think of it like this, do you wanna ride or look purdy??? I rather ride.

 

f it mang, take it to the track, go ridin make use of whatever you got left.

 

Here's the damage. tank has a small dent on the opposite side, I have no clue how that happened,

 

Amen

 

Oh man that sure is a nice paint job..you might as well just take the fairing off and fix it. i mean riding is the main thing..but it doesnt hurt to have a nice looking bike either.

 

Ride the hell out of it till you cant, you have all winter to repaint it.

 

I not only want to enjoy my toys, but I want them to look good. I don't think any of us would buy ugly **** on purpose. If anyone says they don't care about looks, they may be fooling themselves. If I dropped my bike after a fresh paint job, I would be super bummed. I'd probably even cry a little bit. That sucks, Hellboy! Sorry...

 

I didn't cry or anything like that, I was just really bummed about it, I was mad at the driveway, mad at leaves and mad at myself the most. It's only going to cost me $20 for the clear coat, I still have enough paint left over. I guess I'll pull the plastics over on Monday ( have to work all weekend), and take the undertail off too since I painted white and spray them all blue again after I'll finish fixing all the stuff which is going to take at least 2-3 hours, until then she's staying in the garage. Oh and I feel little bit better, but deffinatly going to order a tank protector, new grips, and frame sliders, because cage was just too bulky.

 

sorry to hear about that man, how long did it take you to paint it
