Hello,

I got a 2001 Concours (C10) about 3 weeks ago. The last owner put 50,000 of the 53k on the bike and kept it in good condition. I'm loving it so far. It does weigh a bit more than my last bike, a Suzuki DR200SE (270#). I still need to apply for CDA, twice on the left and three times on the right in the parking lot. :eek: Being 5'4" doesn't help, ha ha, but the connie is not as bad to pick up as I thought. Murph's Tip Over Bars are on there now. A little forethought goes a long way in parking the bike.

I'm planning a trip to Montana to visit friends and take some picture in Yellowstone. Will be leaving in a few days. I have about three weeks before Summer Session starts up again at West Valley Community College, where I just finished my first year. I guess you don't see too many 19yr olds on C10's. The Concours should be a bit more comfy for the trip compared to the little Suzuki, having toured on that formerly.

Summer is coming.... ride safe!

:welcome:  Joseph!

19 is on the lower end of the age demographics for Concours riders. But your just as welcome!!!

I have to ask. Was the  "twice on the left and three times on the right in the parking lot", all in the same occurrence!  :)

 
Haha, not quite :D then I'd really deserve a CDA. I did try welding up the pegs and mounts at school, but the die cast aluminum didn't seem to be very weldable. Metalworking and machining is a hobby, along with film photography...another few things where I'm in the lower age spectrum.  :)
 
Welcome, Joseph,

I live in the Central Valley, but commute to Moffett Field during the week.  There are quite a few others in the area, too.  Enjoy the Connie, maybe I'll see you out there!  ^-^
