    Will it buff out?

    Put a small ding in my bike on Wednesday. Any ideas whether this will buff out?

    Possibly, but you will need to use quite an abrasive rubbing compound

    I'm more interested to know how you're faring, rather than how your fairings are faring! I spot a stretcher.... I hope you is not dead.

    Forget the buffing, buy loads of duct tape! Hopefully your body doesn't need any duct tape.

    Autosol and Meguiers polish - the polish is expensive but worth it.

    Bugger, what happened? At least it was just a Hyosung - you're OK I take it?

    How come your engine exploded? Was anyone in those poor cars hurt?

    I was thinking of putting it under the Arthur's Pass landslide. I reckon those boulders would give a nice finish.

    Got to use that stretcher, with winkies on the way. ACC form doesn't mention I is dead, so I guess that's ok? Up and walking in about 4 hours, plus a plush overnight in the luxury A&E observation saloon.

    Quite inconsiderate of it, really. Guess it saw the stop sign on my left and decided to obey.

    Bounced once, then used as a brake pad. Or so I guess, since I was KO'ed and don't remember jack crap until the medics turned up.

    Most of the gear performed blimmin well. Couple of small grazes on the knees thanks to the armour shifting a bit (too large for my skinny legs). Sore and stiff shoulder where I hit but almost no damage showing on me or the jacket. Hands & feet fine. Small graze to left shin and right hip, thanks to pointy bits of the bike?

    Only bought the jacket at the start of May. Paid for itself inside 3 weeks. Not bad.

    Bugger all damage to the fabric, considering it was a heavy hit on brand new chip seal.
