Great idea. Definitely gonna try it. I’ve got a couple of tiny chips in the front faring from rocks or bugs I could use the practice to see how a repair on those would go.
That’s the crazy part. The gust caught it so hard that it tipped right past them and onto the saddle bag/ handle bars. You can see the black plastic rear guard in the photo.
Yeah. I can get some touch up paint, but the shell is painted plastic (the deep scratches) so it’s beyond my DIY skills to go that route and do a good job. An OEM replacement panel is like 400-500$. Since it’s a 35K bike I’m just gonna replace it this winter for peace of mind. It will only take 30 minutes to remove and replace thankfully. I already have a parts order in for a new brake lever so I can ride a little more before cold weather sets in.
For those of us who don’t want to vote for 77 year old Trump, or a 80 year old Biden. How about an 81 year old Lieberman who tried to condemn violent video games like Mortal Kombat? Surely he’s more in touch with the times?
Things I noticed when visiting Colorado Springs that stood out to me because I had never seen them before.
Home Depot: items over 300$ locked to the shelves, and with security alarm devices attached to them. String trimmers, push mowers, leaf blowers. Large items that couldn’t easily be walked out without notice.
Parking Lots: mobile towers temporarily erected with what appeared to be surveillance cameras and blue flashing lights.
Is everything ok over there? Are you short on Police? Is there a rash of crime happening?
