There's a SUZUKI BOULEVARD in my driveway!
It's not mine.I'm sitting here at 7AM browsing this site when I hear the unmistakable sound of a bike crashing on the curve in front of my house.It's a young guy in his 20's and he's unhurt but shook up.Damaged the left side of his bike and scattered his stuff out ofthe shattered bag.So I calm him down with a cup of coffee and help him push it in my drive.He starts calling his dad,girlfriend and buddy with a trailer(it's rideable).Meanwhile I'm looking at all the interesting patches on his vest,one is a classic harley bar&shield with the word F#CK in the middle of it.He tells me he's been riding a long time but didn't see the gravel in the road(I don't see it either).I tell him I have ridden since the 60's.He asks what I ride and I say well thats my harley in the the garage.His girlfriend shows up and he asks if I'll keep an eye on his bike till he comes back,sure I say ,I'm just glad you were not hurt .And I meant it.

Good thing he is ok. Tell him to go to the Intruder/Boulevard forum if he needs replacement parts. Since you siad you do not see the gravel wonder what made him go down.

Glad he is OK. I agree with freebyrd, those are some pretty nice bikes. I just steered a kid that works for me into one for a steal of a price. Let him drop that one a few times before he buys his hog.

The back tire is worn out for one,he simply misjudged the curve.He's not my first "visitor" there have been a few cars done the same thing.One thing he did say was he hit a deer last year,I told him I'm a little superstitious and would consider another bike.

Nah, it's cheaper to hire an old priest to come over and exorcise the evil spirits away!

I'm glad he didn't need a priest or ambulance, I estimate his head just missed the telephone pole by about a foot.Since he's close to my son's age(who rides) I couldn't help but think that his dad must have been relieved to hear he was alright.However,about that patch,HMM,well sh#t I just laughed about it.
