Hi Connie folks, I just joined the forum and from what I see, I waited a year too long.
I bought my 08, about this time last year, used, with 1500 miles on it. It has a PC3, 2 brothers exhaust, & bar risers.
It now has 11,000+, after my trip out to Utah and neighboring states.
I've been riding since 1964, when I bought a 90cc Vespa. I've had a fair amount of bikes which some are,  BSA Lighting Rocket, H1, H2, Z1, 77 Goldwing, 72 CB750.
Right now, my garage is clustered with my Connie, 09 KLR, 08 Fatbob, & a 09 Streetglide.
I was fortunate to retire in 2002, a day after I was 55. I worked as a lineman & troubleshooter for the local power utility for 32 yrs.
 
Welcome to the Forum. You'll like it here. Club member yet?
If not, I HIGHLY recommend it. Bunch of good folks!

Ride safe, Ted
 
Welcome,
My first street bike was an H2, still have a KZ900, and I bet I have owned 7 CB750s. I bet you don't ride the Fatbob or Streetglide much anymore...Tim
 
:welcome:  to the forum.

Wow... I've had just about every bike you've had except for the BSA and Goldwing, and I've had a bunch of Yamahas.  Strange my first bike was a Vespa when I was 10 years old in 1957, then a Cushman Eagle before I had my first of many Triumphs (Tiger Cub followed by several Bonneville’s).  You'll enjoy the Connie and the camaraderie of this forum.  There are some very knowledgeable guys who hang out here, with me being an exception.    :051bye:

Not as much as a bike should be ridden, but I keep them earning their oats. I had planned on selling the SG, but didn't even try. Maybe this coming spring.

You reminded me, I had a 80 Yamaha also, senility sucks.
I've been impressed by the forum already, thanks all for the greetings

I put well over 50,000 miles on a 1981 XS 850 triple. I miss that bike...Tim
