Waaaaaa! There's a chip in my tanks paint!

In the recent thread about filling one's tank while seated on the bike I mentioned that I remove the tank bag and place it on my seat to keep the bag from picking up debris. I was at the Mods v. Rockers bike show in Chicago a few months after purchasing my CB1100 and I set the tank bag against a fence for a bit. I must have picked up some metal flakes on my magnets and by the time I got home I had several scratches in the beautiful paint. I share your sadness about this tragedy, Tink. I have been able to move on with my life; the paint would have wanted it that way, but I still mourn. I still grieve.

I have to close this note now...I need to find some tissues and a quiet place in my office to cry for a minute.
