Dang bike is so top heavy, now I am afraid to take U-turns ! lol !
I've been practicing U turns at the local Motor Vehicle Department MC test coarse after hours. I rode by on Friday and Saturday early evening (sun just going down) to hit the figure 8 and u turn sections. I gotta tell you, the Connie is a little intimidating. I thought I should embrace the challenge and get proficient in low speed maneuvering on this bike.
That is exactly what I am thinking of doing ! But I need to first invest on a bit more drop protection. Coz I know I am going to drop that sucker a time or two while practicing. Do you have any sort of protection to save the faring and bags?

You can pick them up at any Dunkin' Donuts. There are plenty up in the New England area. Each DD has a full front set. But you may need a female to go with you. You shouldn't be in the ladies room! Sorry I couldn't resist!
I wanted to join in the laugh....but my noob brain did not catch the drift....but hey! at least it got you laughing!

I do wish the C14 had some good factory tip over wings/bars or something "for cryin out loud"!I had a K1200lt and dropped it doing a U-turn on a slight incline, and I hit a driveway. That was it, over it went! I was SO surprised at how the tipover protection worked. Minor scratches on the plastic trim that protects the side cases, and minor scratches on the plastic trim of the mirrors! VERY impressive. There's a youtube video of a guy 'letting go' of his (or someone else's LT) that is worth watching! I can't find it now, but this one gives you an idea of how and what touches! BMW K1200LT Pick Up
