Hello COG folk, I'm Dominick in Norwalk, CT (originally and proudly from Cleveland, OH). I just picked up a 1994 Concours (older than I am, lol) a few weeks ago for $1700 after I just sold my last bike and telling myself I didn't have the space. Last bike was a Honda Shadow Aero and I started on a Suzuki GZ250. The Concours is a bit of change of pace for me, but I'm looking forward to riding some longer distances and hopefully do some camping with it!
I've been trying to do my research and I have to say, there's tons of info on these forums and it's been very helpful to me learning how to get some maintenance done. I am currently working through fluid changes and swapping the tires (the rear has it's mfg date in 2001, which is when I was in preschool ). Last owner didn't leave me with a lot of details on maintenance, so I'm trying to be a bit cautious. Looking forward to doing some rides with you guys in the future and looking forward to any tips y'all might have for me on making sure I get many, many miles out there.
Here's a couple pics I took in my garage since I haven't been out on any long trips yet. Ignore the wire holding the side fairings on, I'm working on it .
