I put a golf ball size dent in my tank a few years ago and decided to live with it.
Luckily no paint damage or flaking, just the nice round indent!
Now i don't even notice it.
And i am anal about my bike!

DJ, good job and although it was good to see the new bikes, the number of people made it uncomfortable. I don't like crowds and unfortunately, this was a very crowded event.
