It that one lowered a bunch or just camera angle?

I think it is just angle and shadows.  Without the bags,  it does look different.  The owner was taller than I, and I'm 5'10".  Click on the pic to expand.  Easier to see, larger.  tp

It's just that HUGE muffler weighing the bike down on that side.    ;)

Been a long time.  :-\

As I was walking out the door of the restaurant a blue one is pulling into the spot I'm also occupying.  :D



Fernandina, FL.
I asked him if he was a member of the forum.
He said no. ???
Told him he should check it out.  ;)

Exchanged pleasantries then he and his wife went on their way.   8)

Spotted a 2008 GTR1400 heading north on the M40 outside Swindon Oxford, England, last Sunday. This was the only GTR I had seen while over in the U.K. Looks like it had the Corbin trunk on it as well. Anyone on here? I'll be back in England later this year (hopefully) would be good to meet up!

Spotted a New '13 C14 on the floor of my local dealer today.  It was nice,with all the bell and whistles  available.  But at $13,900, my paid for '08 looks fine to me. Spotted a '14 ZX14 too, but it hurt my neck just sitting on it.  Would love that engine in my 08, though.

 Sunday 5/26 in Luray VA spotted an '08 rolling down Mechanic St towards Rt. 340. Too bad I had to take my truck over to the in-laws' or my '08 would have been sitting there also.

Numerous Connies at the AMA Superbike Races this weekend in Elkhart Lake, WI.  One had a beautiful root beer paint job.  Anyone here?

That must have been me. I work in Philly, but live in Hamilton, NJ. I'm on I-295 all the time! I actally pulled weekend duty that week! I agree, spotting a Connie any year is super rare in NJ/PA. I never see anyone. Even when I'm riding up by New Hope, PA on Bike day (which is every Sunday). There are hundres of bikes riding through that area, you spot everything, but I'm the only Connie on the road.

Spotted a "like new" 2008 Connie in great Falls, MT on Thursday 6/5.
  It was from British Columbia and still had the original tires on it (?).  It was parked at the Best Western Heritage Inn Plus overnight. 

We saw several more over the next few days in Canmore, Alberta, Canada but they were all moving the opposite direction.  Home last night.
