ahhhhhh, scratched my helmet......



Besides the bug splatters, which clean up easy enough, my helmet has remained in good order. The factory silver metallic looks very nice and I hoped to keep it that way. Well I went to move the beemer across the parking lot and figured there was no real reason to put on my gear. While moving it I ended up hitting the mother of all potholes (some idiot walked in front of me causing me to swerve right into the damn thing), which ended up scratching the helmet in the topbox.



Any ideas on how to fix a helmet scratch?

ps. I guess this proves ATGATT is a must, even in parking lots.

I scratched mine too, on the way to Toledo.

It's just a cheap white one though.

Nick buggered my helmet last year by closing a door over it. Just lifted the paint right off the top.

Thanks. Not that I'd have know what it meant even if you had typed it correctly.
