Default Got backed into..

Good news is it just messed up the rear fender. So I guess my rear fender project is gonna start earlier than I had planned, bad thing is I can't decide what route to go.

Perfect opportunity to do an easy fender chop or complete opposite direction so throw some ideas at me other than heartand.

Never let someone else tell you what looks good, only you can answer that

Your Rocker!!!! Say it isn't so!! That stinks. When I park in a space now, I leave my bike out near the end where hopefully they can see it before crashing into it...Hope it works out.

Cousin backed into me at his shop (I figured being 2 foot from his water hydrant I'd be perfectly fine but apparently not!)
