Nice dent.

After my last close call, I bought a 4X8 trailer that is much closer to the ground.

Sorry 'bout the tank though.

I've ridden my bike up a ramp into a truck about 20 times without any problems. As soon as I'm some place with people around...I don't make it. That was my "doh" moment.

many years ago i saw a sticker on an old vw beetle, it was covering up the rust spots - it looked like a big band-aid.

i'm not going to fix the tank, just touch-up the paint so it won't rust. i'd like to find that band-aid sticker for the dent...

(...or maybe those idiotic looking 'bullet hole' stickers...)

And its a green Suzuki... whats up with that!

Sucks, but my guess is this is your trackbike.... they dont look pretty for very long for most people...

I did something similar last year as well... got it off the truck onto the sidewalk, and when i was rolling it off the sidewalk onto the street (off a curb) the handlebars werent straight so as soon as the front wheel went down, it turned and layed it down in slow motion on th one side... it was so slow that I actully had time to jump over the bike and have it mostly land on me instead of the street.... damage was minimal but 2 of my neighbors saw it.

That sux...sorry to hear Ginoe The tank covers I've seen I don't think go up that far? but don't quote me though...I'd touch it up, probably not worth buyin' another tank.
