...and someone hit it in the parking lot. I went down to Boerne lake to go spear fishing with my friends, and when I got back, I found out that some &%$* hit my bike on the right side of the tank (leaving a dent) while parking and knocked it off the kick stand causing it to slide down the hill I was parked on for a few feet. Now my magneto cover is scuffed up, and the silver fairing piece that holds the turn signal is torn from the light being pushed in. I asked around, and nobody claimed to have seen it. :rant:
I'm waiting for my fuel level to get low enough so I can try the dry ice trick to pop the dent out, and I'm thinking about pulling off the magneto cover, grinding it smooth and polishing it instead of replacing it. I'm going to repair the fairing piece with some fiberglass on the back side to give it strength for now and replace it next year to make sure I don't replace it twice since I'm still learning.
The moral of the story is that every bit of damage on my vehicles have been caused by hit & runs in parking lots, so the first one I catch will wish they were dead.
