Hello all, I'm a long time lurker, first time poster and membership payer.
I purchased a used 2016 Concours 14 in Denver back in September 2021 and rode her back to New Mexico smiling the whole way. Only 4k miles on the clock when I got her, I'm now approaching 10k and a first service interval. My first mod was new tires, Dunlop Roadsmart III. Big improvement over those Battleax tires. Wow.
My riding history started on dirtbikes, but graduated to an ADV bike as I got older, and finally to the last bike I'll ever need, the Connie. I rode a 2006 Triumph Tiger across the country and back again a few years ago. I want to do it again, but told myself, not on a Tiger. Now that I have the Connie, I know I can ride across the country next year in style and comfort. Planning a trip to Reno in July as well.
Anyway, I joined (fully) today because I have some technical questions that I need to ask in another forum. However, the real and main reason was to support this amazing website and all of the information it contains. This is such an oasis of good info and people in an ocean of Internet charlatans.
Great to be here!
