Hey Everyone--
I parked on the street this afternoon to run a quick errand. I came out about 20 minutes later to see my scoot on the ground. It wasn't on asphalt so it didn't sink and tip so some joker must have bumped it or something.
Talk about a way to ruin one's day.
So, the damage was all on the right side (the side it landed on)--scuffed mirror, slight bend to the brake lever, hand grip chewed up on the end, a dent and a lot of deep scrapes on the area right below the seat (the cowl is maybe what it's called), a big gouge on the long narrow plastic piece below that, and some scuffs on the outside of the foot rest.
When I tried to start it--it took a couple cranks but it's been running fine since.
So, here are a couple of questions that I hope some of you might have input on.
1) Is there anything I should look at besides the body damage?
3) What's the best way to fix the body damage? Anybody want to ballpark a guess at what a body shop would cost? Is it worth calling my insurance company?
4) Is touch up paint available? What's the best way to touch up something like that?
5) I just read on the forum that a nice big magnet might be the easy way to hide this. Anybody got a good source on large magnets? Or thoughts about what would look nice? I'm thinking a nice big Mod target.
Thanks in advance for your ideas!
