Title: New Old member
Post by: jdsco on May 19, 2017, 04:55:33 PM
My name is Jim
I live in Colorado's high country (altitude, not pot).
I had a 2008 C14 that I purchased in the box new in 2010, rode it like I owned it and sold it in 2015.
I have had 18 motorcycles, of high acclaim to me, and I was down to one bike, my KTM 990Adv as of April.
I'm a huge dirt bike fanatic. I live in the dirt bike capital (to me). I miss having a real road bike.
So I started the search for a 2016 in the box and the dealer who has sold many bikes to me, found this 2016 in the box.
I'm now in the process of upgrading seat, windshield, exhaust, ECU flash and so on, just like I did 7 years ago with the 2008.
I am currently struggling (2074 miles so far) to wear down the Battlax's in order to install new rubber. It's a tough job!
I was a member here previously, 2014.
Thanks and appreciation for the interaction, in advance.

Welcome back Jim! I lived in Colorado Springs area for 26 years and love Buena Vista. You can go in any direction from there and have fantastic roads to ride. Enjoy the new bike!
