to go.

The harness clips to the helmet.
|
Changing 3 tires and have already pulled out the rear fender.

|
Honestly, it looks worse in person. Hard to get the depth in a picture.

a dent.
|

Removing the hood. Yes, Matthew was smiling. His attitude lifted
my spirits!

Inspection continues. Already planning how to fix it!
