Big Wheel
Introductions:  Hmmm.  Mike from SE Minnesota, (right along the Mississippi River).  This is the second time I have belonged to COG.  A couple of years ago I had a '86 Connie, that bike was replaced by a 2007 Yamaha Stratoliner.  Found out that while cruisers are nice, not my cup of tea.  Just this Wednesday I picked up a 2008 C-14 with 3300 miles on it and haven't stopped smiling since.  I have been riding for 40 years, and, well, never been on a bike quite as fast as the Connie.  If this 54 year old fat guy ends up in jail for going 125 in a 55 my wife will make sure the Connie is gone prior to bailing me out of jail.  Well, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. 

Glad to be back on a Concours...what an engine.
 
Welcome back. I usta live in Welch township, just north of Red Wing. I really like Co Rd 7, both directions out of "downtown" Welch.
