First scratch is the deepest :-(

After scraping the left pannier I had the topbox lid and left pannier repainted for around £100, well worth it to me, looks great

The best thing you can do with any bike is throw it on the floor, pick it up and do it again on the other side. You'll enjoy the bike much more once it's out the way.

It will NEVER be the same again.
Cut your losses, sell the bike to me for 5K and buy yourself a new 2014.

I'm here to help.

+1 so very true. Ride it, don't look at it..... When your buzzing along no one can see any scratches anyways!
