Chipped New Paint
Sooo, I was polishing my bike again, because it is still considered a new paint job, and I noticed some funny lil spots on the tail. Upon further inspection I decided mayb the paint was bubbling and started to flake away. Oh well, **** happens, I will have it fixed in the fall before I put it into storage. Then, when riding home from work on Monday, I had a werid inclination to put my hand down were the paint was starting to chip away and low and behold I can feel my pant leg slapping against the bike in the wind! I was wearing a pair of Nike wind paints that have a zipper down the ankle and the zipper was chipping the paint. SOAB Here are the pictures. I wish there was some sorta pad ie take pad, that I could put down there to protect it/hide it until the end of the season. But I will no longer be wearing this type of pant until the paint has matured. And I don't want any lame ass comments about wearing track pants!!!

I got some Scorpion Pants that have a mesh outer shell. So if it is hot I take out the lining. THey are heavy enough they do not move in the wind at all. I think they are great. They zip up the entire leg so you can put them over your regular cloths. I have a 60 miles commute just to get to work and I have to wear business casual, so the pants protect my dockers.
Plus you can't beat having body armor, just-n-case. Because the outer is mesh they are not hot during the summer. Standing still would not be pleasant, but once you get a little breeze it is like just wearing your jeans. WIth the lining in they are wind and waterproof. |

Bummer d00d! Wasn't it a family member of yours that helped you on the paint? ...there's got to be a way to touch it up and make it good as new. You could just throw a sticker over it too.
