RE: Don't do what i did today...
A lot of us have been there....sux don't it.
Also may I add:
Don't kick the sheet out of the lid with your foot.
Don't let your wife kick the sheet out of it with her foot.
Don't let your cats anywhere around your bike.
Don't place your helmet on the lid when the bike is running.
Don't let your neighbors kid get on the bike becauseFOR SURE they will use the chrome primary as a step.
Don't ask me how I know....

* Don't hang keys from a side belt loop if the keychain/dongle is long enough to let the keys ride on the lid.
Been there, done that as well, including the jacket belt/buckle. Hence when I got my SG last April I took the belt off of my jacket.
But hey...a few scratches give a bike character.

Try some polishing compound and a buffing wheel will get out most scratches.

The first is the worst.
You don't want it to look like a garage queen anyway.
You want it to look like you take care of it yes, but you also want it to look like it's owned by a real biker.
Have a ballride the hell out of it and don't worry about a few battle scars.

I got my first scratch while pushing the bike forward while sitting on it. My jacket was open and the zipper gouged the tank.
Your lucky....you can't see your scratches while your riding.
