Hello Everyone!!
« on: July 08, 2015, 03:04:47 PM »
I'm Deuce from Minneapolis, MN and I bought a 98 Concours in April in place of a Honda GL500 Interstate. And all I can say is that I absolutely love it. Had to do some minor stuff and cleaned her up nice. I had a friend  help me with carb stuff and he really bailed me out. Bike sat for 2 years when I purchased it and now it runs great!! I look forward to frequenting the site and enjoying my ride.

GL500 Interstate, eh?  My first bike was a 1981 GL500 Silver Wing.

Welcome!  I had one too...

Welcome aboard from a Minnesnowta ex patriot(54years). Lived in New Brighton a few years, wound up living in Welch, then Hastings before a job transfer sent me down here. I do miss The Bierstube in Hastings and Kings in Meisville. I don't miss winter.

Some leisurely reading and exciting videos concerning your bike can be found here. Do pay particular attention to carburetor overflow tubes, they are an engine saver.

COG is quite active up there, check out some events to hook up with fellow Connie riders. You do NOT have to be a member to attend and/or participate. It's all good.
