Hi all,
Just joined up and have been lurking for a week since I picked up my '02 connie up in New Hampshire. Finally got out for a decent ride today and met a couple COG members up at the Cycle Gear in Manchester. Both were exceptionally friendly and gave me a couple tips on things I should invest in to make my ownership experience even more enjoyable (on the maintenance side). I look forward to meeting more of the members of COG and hope to pick up as much information about this bike that I can.
A little about myself: I'm Steve from Milford, CT, owner for four years of a K7 GSX-R600, and a brand new owner of a 2002 Concours. The connie is going to be taking over my daily commuting duties for the gixxer, as it's a bit more comfortable on the ride from Milford to Durham every day. I Work at Durham Auto Parts (independently owned parts store) as a counterman and driver when need be. I'm fairly useful for low voltage electrical and lighting problems, as I previously worked at Whelen Engineering as a test and repair tech... Of course, staring at a 1000 part run of the same blinking light became extremely tedious, and I decided to move on in employment.
Now that all of you are asleep after reading that last paragraph, I'll say thanks for having this site! It's great to see such a large and thriving community based around this fantastic piece of machinery!
