If you didn't mind painting that, you could get most of the damage out. I'd say about 99%, with some heat and about 4psi of pressure, got some nasty creases out of a BSA tank with that method.

Funnily enough, I "oiled my chain not" last week, and if I recall correctly, the week before that. too.
No big dent appeared in my tank, must be doing it wrong.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

I reckon he must be turning it over, like you used to with your pushbike, oiling the chain then flipping it back onto it's wheels! Bless him, someone should tell him and save him causing any more damage.

Surprised you can remember that school starts again tomorrow, you're memory is better than expected at your age.. And at least I can brush my teeth all by myself, I don't need to call in an orderly or whatever :lol:

Also, I am an adult :lol: I can do everything you can do.. I think, just without all the bones creaking in the process :D
