|  Your bikes beauty marks...
Lets talk beauty marks on your bike. Seems that no matter how hard you try your not going to keep that bike in show room condition. I learned this the hard way. The busa for me was the ultimate bike for me to own, and one I thought I would never get to own. Well the day came and I walked out of the bike shop a proud new owner of a busa.. (joy and rapture) Now we've talked about all the different ways to keep that bike shiny like a new dime. (down Tricker..  ) But inevitably those dings and scratches happen. Now I can live with the minor stuff on the bike but now a few things are beginning to bother me.I ordered one of those tribal chrome kick stands a few weeks back.. installed it on the bike no problem. As I was doing my routine bike cleaning I notice that the chrome has chipped and broken away in some parts... wtf?!?! So I guess I will take it back off and put the stock one back on it now. Sucks!! I guess I can get some of that chrome paint some place and try to repair it and we all know how thats gonna look.. SO.. what dings, scratches, or scrapes has your bikes suffered.. AND.. do you plan to repair them or leave them as battle scars and beauty marks? |
