New Rider from Atlanta - OTP North
« on: May 11, 2017, 10:08:08 AM »
Hi, just recently picked up a 08 Concours 14 from CL after I sold my C90 Boulevard. I am new to Sports touring however the closest to something similar had been my Suzuki Katana 600 from a riding position perspective. Hoping to stay, learn and share with you all.
I am registered at the other forum with the same id so hoping to meet some of you on the road some day.

Thank you both, I saw another black Connie this morning and thought may be it is someone from this group in Alpharetta area.

  • It's only really cold if you fall down in it.
    • C-14 farkles you almost cannot ride without.

Welcome to the forum and best of luck with the new ride.

For all the negative posts you will find, it really is a nice, robust and great- performing motorcycle. As you read through the forum, please keep in mind that most of the posts / threads are about a problem simply because virtually no one would ever start a thread or make a post that said anything like "Went for a ride on my C-14 today. Uneventful and everything worked fine.".
