Buffing out a Small Scratch

[properchopper]

Came to shore a little hot & put a tiny scratch in my MC. After 6 years of racing with many successes and plain major fun (plus being the NAMBA P-Ltd Cat 2-lap Nat'l record holder) I thought it was time to retire the old girl. BUT NO - She deserved to be put back in action.

Minor scratch

Judging by the final result I dare say, that is not the first time you have needed to perform that sort of cosmetic surgery.
