Dammit.  Bike got its first ding today.  Not catastrophic.  But it's ugly.

Taking advantage of the nice day and had the bike out over the mid day.  Stopped at a diner for a late lunch.  Was sitting where could see the bike through the window and the Ford pickup parked next to it.  Bike was nose in and pickup was backed in.

Young girl got in the pickup to drive away and someone she apparently knew drove by.  She decided she had to catch up and spun her back wheels for 50-60 feet pulling away.  One rock put a divot in the side of the left saddlebag. 

Pickup didn't have plates.  No one inside claimed to know who the girl was.  Not a darn thing to be done other than throw a leg over and ride away.

When I got back still staged all three bikes together in the sun for some quick photos.  Wasn't in the mood to do a lot with them though.  Was still nice to see them all standing together.

yeah..... it does

In the parts collection process actually had two spare right bags.  At least I think they were both right bags.  Sold those to other site members who had need for just what I had in them.  No spare lefts that I remember coming across in all the search history though.  May send this off to Paint by Gene and see if his mojo is still good.

The divot just barely got the tail of the brighter red flame too.  So it's not a one color task.  Of course even that one color is multi-stage. 

It sucks.  I'm bummed.  Damn rock.

Rock sucker!

Rock sucker!

Really hoping that doesn't prove to be the bike's name.  It hadn't given me a clue yet what it should be.   Damn rocks.

Maybe it'll grow on me.  The bike certainly earned it. 

Couldn't stand to look at the bare spot (actually pink, that's the first base coat).  Found the three stage touch up kit and have bag laying on the bench right now.  Hopefully the final stage is at least a close match.  It won't be right.  And it won't be smooth.  But at least it (hopefully) won't jump out quite so visually and will annoy me less until such a time as I decide on Plan B (for bag).

 :bigcry:Feeling your pain Buddy.  When you first started off about watching thru the window and the truck, my mind was spinning ahead and thought you were gonna say she backed over the scooter.  Not to make light of the terrible rock chip, but.....just saying' .....it doth suck big time.  spyder
