Title: n00b Guy Smell:
Post by: Bike Habit on May 10, 2015, 03:22:00 PM
Hello folks! Been lurking for a week now, and decided to join. I bought a 2008 C14 last weekend, and so far I love it! New to this bike, but I have been riding for close to 30 years! I bought this bike to put highway miles on, instead of putting undo highway miles on my 2005 VStrom 1000. I have it built for more off road duty, and I was definitely reaching it's limits on the road, so I started looking at options....along came the C14!

Looking forward to getting to know some of you! Cheers!

Yes, but I hate the way it looks! I want the uber expensive Corbin rear trunk, as well as the heated seat system, but it's gonna be awhile! I want to make this ride as comfy for SWMBO, so money is really not a huge deal...happy wife, happy life!!
