That sick feeling is a common ailment among all of us. As someone else said, IT GIVES CHARACTER.

Thanks for the sugestions, like some said it's done now, no need to worry
anymore, to much anyway. If it gets ridden, sooner or later that scratch
or dent is going to happen.

Been rubbing scratch remover and polish on my few like crazy. Not as visable but I will rub every chance I get until they either go away or the paint comes off.

I feel for you. I put two small dents in my tank, while doing an adjustment on my apes.[:@] The lucky thing is the dealer is repainting the tank this winter due to a DOT 4 leak they caused. Everyday for the next few months I am reminded of my stupidity.
