If you plan on selling it soon, get it fixed. If you plan on putting 50 thousand fun miles on it, wax it up best you can and just ride. More scratches will certainly come.

FUZZY BALLS!

I used to get concerned when a scratch occurred. Now I set the fat assed cow in the line of fire when they cut the lawn/driveway at work..

Fukin character marks is what I call 'em..

Then again I run a ton of gravel roads.. Stone picks are inevitable. If I really wanted look good, I'd get a facelift..

:jester:

 
I went to the gym the other day. Parked the FJR with the side stand down and proceded to dis-mount. Apparently, in my pollack-way, I had not kicked the side stand down far enough and the FJR listed to the left and kept going!!! I was able to decelerate the impact with planet Earth (in the form of black asphalt) to a degree.

I was so pissed at myself.... MY FIRST SCRATCH!!!! I stood the bike back up and for the life of me could not find a single mark! I won the tip-over lottery!!!!! Yea!!!!

 
I tipped over a Suzuiki when I was polishing the tank in my garage, hit an oak table, dented the tank, bent the bars, I wasn't even on the friggin thing. Pretty embarassing to explain to people that it was another senseless cleaning accident. The least I could have done was hit a buffalo or something marginally exciting, but nooooooooo............I just tipped it over lol.
That's what you get for cleaning the bike. I thought only Hardley riders cleaned their bikes?

I think we need to call child services and have her placed in a better home. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 
I always hate that first whiskey dent.. ... if not that bad and you plan on keepin her... like other guy said just ride on man ...After 10 years it's not going to depreciate the value any.
