THE BIKE IS AN 2005.. and no the stripe on the tank is not stock paint, theres no way i would have just not painted the stripes when i got whole bike painted. And yes its been laid down on the right side when i slipped on some black ice, it was some minor scratches and i wanted to get it fixed and then got it painted at a shop.. heres a pic of how it use to look before.. <BR>

and yes i do enjoy riding
