Ride on the hoods??? LOL. But I like riding in the drops. If you look close I do have a second set of hoods (stoker hoods) where they are supposed to be. Just in case I get the urge to move up there. It’s a different setup but it works for me.

To the OP I agree with the above posts don’t fix the dent it’s a beauty mark that would deter a thief and also it’s a good idea to be able to keep an eye on the dent. Just take a good cleaner wax to it and get all that smeared paint away and it might not look as bad as it does now and it will keep rust out.
