Not too shabby...

Here's the latest shot of my bike after my incident on Sunday. It was taken about 20 mins ago in my garage with a flash on my point n' shooter... so you can expect every bit of dust, etc to show up. But the color-rite touch up pens sure did cover up the damage nicely. If you stand 3-5ft away from the bike you couldn't even notice a scratch...

This pic "brings things out" because of the situation, but in the sunlight you can't even tell. The engine cover (i think that's what it is) was the easiest thing to touch up even though it had the most damage/paint chips.

My back is seriously still killing me! Still unsure if I hurt it from lifting the bike up so quickly or when I did that unwanted stoppie/endo when I jammed on my brakes to avoid plowing into that car.... when I cough, I'm hurting!

...closer but smaller.

I should have waited til tomorrow to take some shots because in the garage w/ the flash it makes things look worse with all the reflections....

Oh, well....

[forceofnature]

Damage doesnt look all that bad.

I dropped min in the driveway and the hill was so steep it slid a little down the drive so I had some plastic repair to do. I got new stickers and then clear coated over the stickers then wet sanded and buffed it out to a mirror finish.

It took a while but looks good.

Yeah! I am! I want it perfect! And it does look better in person....

In these photos you're also getting fingerprints, dusts, etc... so if somebody saw these shots w/o knowing where the damage was, they might not even know where.

White circles show exactly where....

The flash brings it all out, so I'm happy with the work I did... and you can't really even notice unless you walk right up on the bike and "examine" it.

[CorrodedAlien]

got the same + bar end scuff and clutch knob gone....

[thepushercg]

she looks good, you are not riding bareback on a time bomb. she will be a1 ok.

[PaNDeM1C]

Both of my mirrors are scuffed, but I never bothered with either of them... and I don't really care about my bar ends. I bought my bike to "ride" so I'm cool w/ any little damage I met get along the way..... because it will happen.

Sorry to hear Pan, I missed if you posted earlier with more details than this but I hope all is OK and BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!

dude, sounds like you gave yourself a hernia, might wann go to the doc and get it checked out.

[BigDiesel]

+1 on the doc-if he doens't have anything intelligent to say, hit up a chiropractor if your wallet or health ins. can handle it.

Tell your Buddy, he can take his finger out of your a$$ now...
It's supposed to be a physical, not a sexual encounter...

[PaNDeM1C]

For some reason, maybe god's will.... who knows... but my back feels great right now and going to hit the highway on the Busa! It's only been 4 days but feels like a month since I've ridden!
