I've missed this place over the holidays, Happy New Year to ya Alice. I passed my last written exam for my 2nd class engineer's ticket. The usual celebratory drink, please, your finest single malt scotch, neat. The end of my studies is near, just a first aid course and then the oral exam. Been a very long road but the finish line is in sight....until I start on my Chief's ticket in two years.

Hi guys....newbie here. So brand new she has not even taken her course yet (scheduled for May 28th weekend).

But I did just get my new 2007 Boulevard S40 home Saturday from Edmonton, nice ten hour trip to pick it up, put it in the back of the Avalanche.

Then my husband and a buddy was unloading it yesterday and when he untightened the strap the handlebar slipped out out of his hand and BANG it fell against the side of the truck...BIG dent in the side of the gas tank. :'(

It sure WAS a pretty bike. Shocked

anyway...not sure why I am posting, I guess I just want some sympathy. ha

It's about 3" by 1.5" and there is a scratch and paint chip...I have no idea how much this will be to fix (anyone? ballpark?), but we will likely wait until after riding season anyway.

sigh Embarrassed

Left side, not much you can do except try the dry ice, but that sounds too big for that to work on it. Right side you can get to it, maybe. It will take some clever tool making & very gentle use to straighten it up. A used tank may be the cheapest way to go. You can clean it up, prep it & have it painted. For now, I wouldnt sweat it. Get 10,000 miles on it & get good at Not Dropping it before you go making it all cherry again.

thanks guys....that is what we were thinking too, we'll wait until late fall/winter to fix it, being new to riding I may have a couple other dents and scratches by then. Roll Eyes

Hopefully minor ones, if any, though!

I doubt I will have to replace it, it's not that large? although I guess it is worth comparing prices. I doubt I will try to fix it myself either, I'll just take it into a body shop. (It's on the right hand side right below the Boulevard' insignia.)

Thanks! I am very excited about being a biker chick -finally!
