Unfortunatly it was I backing into my bike in the driveway with my car. I have a outward buckle on the side of the rear fender. It is only a couple of inches long and no paint has been damaged. It is a good time to fix this. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?

Yeah Stephen?! That's some tough luck there dude! But MY question is...Was you Honda assembled in Japan or Marysville Ohio, and was your Triumph assembled in England or Thailand???  (ACTUALLY...if your dent isn't creased sharply at all, you might see if maybe one of those paintless dent removal people who usually work on cars might be able to help ya out here...that might be worth a shot!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

You are probably right. If I attempt something myself there will be more damage. Don't know about the car but the bike is 2002 so I think its British, therefore it is not Jap on Jap violence.

Well actually Rob, I asked that question because as you know both o' those little islands of Japan and England drive on the "wrong side" of the road, and so I was thinkin' that maybe either the car, which might have been assembled in Ohio, OR the motorcycle, which might have been assembled in Blighty, and depending of course on their point of origin, one of 'em could have momentarily reverted back to their original cultural mindset and thus ONE of 'em could have been forgetting that even though both of Stephen's vehicles DO NOT reside in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave where all right-thinking things(be they animate OR inanimate) are supposed to operate in the proper(read: right)lane as they motor forth, but in fact his vehicles DO reside in Canada where AT LEAST they've learned to throw off the yoke of the Mother Country in this regard. And so, THIS could have been the reason for Stephen's minor collision of which I'm sure he will soon rectify. (and to further complicate this "theory" o' mine, I hear in Thailand they drive on whichever side of the road they want to at any particular time!!!)

Of course there IS another "theory" making the rounds around here lately, and that is.... ...Since he's retired, Dwight has entirely TOO MUCH FREE TIME ON HIS HANDS NOWDAYS!!!!!
