I had my 1st bike about an hour (brand new F4I) When I put my first scratch in it. I was soooooooo Pissed I felt like kickin the thing over, but after I calmed down, I walked over to the shop fridge and peeled off a racing sticker just big enough to cover the scratch, put it on there and never saw it again lol. Sorry to hear about it, I would be on my way to the dealer flippin through the sticker book cuz scratches drive me nuts! _____________________________ Tis Better to Die on my feet ,Than to Live on my knees 05 1000RR 240 Tire kit 8"over Eurotails undertail Hot boddies flush mounts Polished Yoshi Power commander Tape works red reflective flame kit 40 mile straight west of Chicago (in reply to sidthafish) Post #: 4

Funny how you can put a sticker on the side of a bike and it look cool but scratch your car and its to bad. Pick out a good racing sticker and put one on both sides in the same location and no one will ever be the wiser. _____________________________ 2006 1000RR Yosh RS 5 PowerCommander Flapper Mod Who Dares Wins (in reply to SirJAG) Post #: 6

Course, an hour after I posted this (dont know if you guys saw this thread) someone posted the "you might be a squid if..." and what did I see on there??? #xx "you might be a squid if you put decals on your bike to cover the scratches" LOL! Oh yeahhhhhh, if only that worked on cars. When I used to drag race my mustang, the pit pal bottle paper towl holder thingie fell off the wall in the trailer in transit and put a big ole dent in the fender right on the corner...I was racking my brain tryin to think of a way to cover that thing. im thinkin "hmmmm an antena on a race car wont look TOO bad...halfway between the windshield and the headlights" lmao yeahhhhh, riiiiiiight. Oh well, that was only one of about 20 of the squid thingies I fell into on there...but beats the hell outa ridin around with a scratch i think. Glad it worked for ya! < Message edited by Eddie1000rr -- 6/12/2006 5:07:03 AM > _____________________________ Tis Better to Die on my feet ,Than to Live on my knees 05 1000RR 240 Tire kit 8"over Eurotails undertail Hot boddies flush mounts Polished Yoshi Power commander Tape works red reflective flame kit 40 mile straight west of Chicago (in reply to jaxx1671) Post #: 7
