Vandalism?

Do you hang your helmet on your hand when riding for short distances? Or when moving the bike around in the parking lot? Even small hits by the helmet on the tank end up in "soft" dents over time since when the helmet hangs on the hands, it always hits the same exact spot and that's what causes the dents. Of course this does not cause any scratches.

Another similar example I can give you is of a friend of mine who used to wear his back pack on the front while going to office. He kept his lunch box in the bag and over time he got a small dent in the exact same spot where his lunch box used to be in the bag. Same reason, over time the box is going to be tapping the tank on the exact same place with varying intensity depending on road conditions etc. and eventually he got a dent there (again no scratch).

Yours might be a similar case maybe?

Do you lend your bike to your friends?
