Road Bike
Hey all! I recently (10/21/2010) bought my first street bike. It is a barely used 2006 in that beautiful Blue! I have been tracking the Concours, ST1100 and FJR on Cycle trader for about a year now. This deal came up and with only 3,100ish miles on it, it was as close to a new bike as I could hope to find. The dealership had just listed it for $3800 and I managed to ride away with a helmet for just about that! I am a commuter of a 53 mile one way 3rd shift (10pm to 6:30am) across the Dallas metroplex. I have made one trip and rain set in.. go figure! :'( I promised my wife to sell the Bass boat ASAP to restock the cabinets! My brother is a cruiser rider and a couple of years back I rented the 1400 Concours for a weekend and wore out northeast Texas with him. I love this group already and look forward to upgrades and a bit of "farkeling" in the future. I look forward as well to meeting those of you in south central area. I have family in the Houston, Killeen and Hot Springs/Little Rock area and look forward to some economy trips soon. I chose 06ConRad because there is already a "connie" in my past and my wife would prefer that I spend my "extra" quality time with a guy friend!! Doug.. Mansfield Texas
