Those things are supposed to crash. That is how you know your ridding fast enough. The CONCOURS 14 is a street bike so that’ll work better. Of course you cannot say you rode a lawnmower cross country if you get that bike.m. brenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11140536155120304477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196162736338237407.post-63884481208902652012008-04-08T10:53:00.000-07:002008-04-08T10:53:00.000-07:00Alright! That's sounding a lot better. I'm glad to hear you're swinging back towards continuing. I think you'll be happier for doing so.<BR/><BR/>I like the Concours 14. Lots. But then, you knew that. :)<BR/><BR/>Don't forget that if you're on a new bike, you should also pick a route that varies the RPMs some.Geohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10870200869104069214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196162736338237407.post-2632022985645947722008-04-08T10:40:00.000-07:002008-04-08T10:40:00.000-07:00Sweet ride, I second the FJR recommendation.

I was dismayed to read the earlier plans to toss it in a truck and drive back south. This sounds better.<BR/><BR/>May your insurance come through quickly and smoothly enough that you end up in their commercial as a success story: "...and he was on his way on a new bike in no time!"eBayJesshttp://openid.aol.com/eBayJessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196162736338237407.post-11134228108546684542008-04-07T19:54:00.000-07:002008-04-07T19:54:00.000-07:00Concourse!
