Hello COG! My name is Kary and a brand new member to this forum. I recently purchased my 2012 C 14 that is sitting next to my 2011 Kawasaki Nomad 1700…they seem to get along together quite well!
I’ve been doing some reading on the C 14 and had acquired quite an elevated interest in the bike. Meeting Chris Dunn, another COG member, becoming the benefactor of Chris’ insight, love for the C 14, his hospitality and kindness, pushed me over the edge to find myself extremely excited about his Arabian Red C14; he fondly has displayed the name “Shiny” on the rear of.
After 30 minute demo, walking away from the bike for an hour or so to eat some lunch. I needed to ensure I wasn’t making an impulse purchase based upon my excitement and two convince this single 59-year-old man that “yes”, he could have a second bike in his garage, I gladly paid Chris for the bike, loaded up the extras he sent with me and started my 2 hour and 45 minute ride from Columbia, MO to Springfield, MO. In the midst of some gusty winds the bike performed wonderfully.
Although I know I don’t know enough about this bite yet, I am excited about being a part of this forum to learn those who have been enjoying the C14 for sometime. I need to better understand if ECU flashing would be beneficial and try to find someone in my area who can tune the suspension for me? Chris’s 5” 10” and I am 6’ 3”, 330lbs. I would think the adjustment would really help if that service is available in my area?
I’ve owned the 2011 Kawasaki Nomad for about five years and before that I on the Yamaha 1100…I continue to enjoy the Kawasaki brand and the C14 has taken it to a new level of appreciation. Glad to be apart of COG.
I’m not too sure what intros look like of new members and I’ve already gone long, but I will conclude by saying I have lived in Springfield for the last 23 years working for an international humanitarian relief nonprofit. I’m originally from the West Coast, but Missouri is home for me!
