You know many years ago someone was probably walking through there before it was a park and saw those dinousar prints and said "Fuck Me, there is some big shit out here".

Forgot to show my memorial holiday gift.






Got this at the hotel we stayed at. We got a front room and it has a little porch area. The lady told us we could part up by the door so I mosy on over there. There is an ash tray stand thing and a big wooden bench against the wall and space between those two and the wood hand railing. So I push my bike in and my dad was going to park his big harley behind mine. I get situated and kick my kickstand down. I see it down and I start the lean of faith. Well the wood boards on the ground are smooth and I guess my kick stand decided to go back up. I didn't have room to throw my left leg out farther for more grip and down the bike went. Not much, but enough to smack the bench arm rest.

My father asked if there was any damage; I looked at the plastics and didnt see any. Well later on the day we head over to dino park and have been walking the river. We get back to the bikes to get a drink and I happen to look at my tank. MOTHERF&^$#%#! I could see half the dent below the bottom of my tank bag's magnet flap.

There is a bright side to this. I know it may not seem that way but as the tank bag was there there looks to be hardly any scratch at all. Also since the dent didn't crease any metal and is fairly large in diameter try getting an autobody suction cup and pop that dent out your self. I have seen it done and it works. Gotta be a fast pull on the center of the dent though. One real good pop and it should come out.

Even if you take it to a body guy should only cost a $100

You can also try to find someone that does PDR (Paintless Dent Repair). They use rods to massage a dent from behind. But some also have a puller that uses glued on tabs that can pull dents out.

That's a pretty soft edge dent. Ever think about doing the cold nitrogen heat gun dent repair thing?
