So I am really starting to get the itch to ride, and with the riding season in Ohio about to start ,I decided to blow the afternoon off from work and give my Street Glide a good detail.
So no differently than when I do a complete detail on my truck, it never fails that every time I do this I find another tiny rock chip, or scratch or something that was not there before, and it's aggravating as hell.
Am I the only one this happens to?

I know how you feel, I have finally been out the last two weekends in Baltimore, We are a couple of week ahead of you weather wise.
Ten of us just booked a hotel for your June Bike Week in Sandusky. Never been before and am looking forward to something different.

Do you live on a gravel road? LOL
Sure it happens to me, likely to all of us, but no way it's "every time I detail".
Wait a minute,..... I suppose if I detailed once every 5 years that would hold true. (Sarcasm)
I agree, hurts like hell to find a new chip!

I recently had my bike repainted all but the rear fender as there was nothing wrong with it. A few weeks later a friggin chip showed up on that fender and in no way could I figure out how it got there. I feel your pain. Get a bottle of touch-up paint, buffing wheel and buffing compound.

A wreck would get me upset. A chip every now and then is expected and that means I have been riding.

My lower fairings are disaster areas. There's so many chips that I can't tell when I've got a new one.lol
I got over those things 40,000 miles ago. I clean it regularly and I ride it often.
