Sat. April 7th around 3 pm. parked at the gas station corner of where US321 turns onto Wears Valley road. Looked like an '08 ??  We were in the rent-a-gocart heading back from Cades Cove towards Pigeon Forge.
Warmed up nicely after noon, earlier in the day however, we were walking on some icy patches at the Clingman's Dome parking lot.

Saw a blue model (10?) leading a pack of bikers in King George on the cut through between 301 and 3.  You probably only saw a silver blur going the opposite way.... :)

Going out for lunch today, about 11:30 AM in downtown Beaverton, Or - saw a silver 2011 on Hall Blvd crossing Canyon.  Rider was wearing an Aerostich with, I believe, a silver Scorpion helmet.  He had a pair of those "cop" mits on the handlebars - the kind that cover the bars and you put your hands into, like the old fashion "muffs" (for those old enough to remember those.)  Wonder where a guy could get a pair of those "cop mitts?"  I haven't see many new Concours in the Beaverton area - wonder who that was???

Had a pair, nice warm hands.  Why did I get rid of them?  At speed they would collapse enough to press against the brake and clutch levers.  Enough that during a quick hard blast the clutch started slipping.  Asked a buddy to watch my brake lights, sure enough at around 70 the light would come on.  That was the last time I used them, they are being used on a Harley knowadays.  Baker hand wings and a set of trackside heated grips do the trick, 40 and up Summer gloves, below that, silk liners and heated gloves.  I do care a spare of heated gloves just in case the grips go out, only had that happen once and that was when I was crossing Snoqualmie and Blewett passes.

Saw 2 at the Cross Country BMW open house in Metuchen, NJ on Saturday. Black 2011 ridden by a nice guy named Vinny, I think, and an original '86 with 12k on the clock. Judging by the looks of it, I'd say those miles were original.

This morning in the Central Park, Fredericksburg, Walmart....08 C14...Please don't be a person of Walmart.  You know, those 08 bikes, besides being the fastest, sure are pretty even in the rain.

Spotted a vastly slower red C14 on 5/5/12 at the corner of Rich Rd and Glidden just north of DeKalb around 11:30. You were with a BMW (I think) and I was in the cage.

Saturday May 4th around 2 pm Russelville, Arkansas.  I just left Russelville Honda after buying a new tire and I passed another 2008 that was piloted by a woman.  Hope you had a good ride, I know I sure did.

This morning 5/9 in Fredericksburg VA- An '08 C-14 in the pouring rain on Rt.1 near Harrison Rd. Rider was wearing an orange reflective vest. Since the pouring rain, this was one of the few mornings I was in the truck rather than on my '08 C-14.

And- Last Sunday 5/6 near Luray VA- Black C-14 just west of Luray near the bottom of the mountain on Rt.211. I was on the '08. We waved.
