Scratches build character. The only way to keep your bike perfect is to never ride/touch it, and put it in a Harley bubble.

I for one did not buy a "Garage Queen" I bought it to ride. Scratches are something do deal with.

I LOVE THE SHINE, BUT TOTALLY AGREE WITH ALL THE ABOVE!
My wife teases me about being in the garage most evenings, but I like it looking good and turning the heads, which it does.

Man you mean to tell me your knee is not on the pavement rather than your leg hugged to the tank on the corners? That is just wrong my friend just wrong.:-)

RE: Scratches
I tend to be a tank gripper too. When I'm on a tight twisty road I find myself sitting more upright, sliding my feet to the back of the floorboards and gripping with my knees. I guess it's a throw back to crotch rocket riding years ago. My RK is vivid black, I wax ever[sm=biker.gif]y week, but hey, there are gonna be scratches, that's what happens when you ride them.
