So a well placed stick as I was cruising along made its way up my back tire and took the fender along with it, at which point I came to a stop.
But all was not lost as I was able to do a reasonable job of straightening the fender out after I took those pics above.
Not exactly showroom quality, but it'll work for my commuter bike.

I'm impressed. Maybe I could get you to work on the dents my wife put in the door on my truck
