Thought I would drop a note and say hello to everyone since I've been lurking around for a week.
I've been riding for many years on mostly HDs and Triumphs, but I decided this time I would listen to a couple friends and check out the Concours 14. Sure glad I did... Just picked up my new to me 2012 c14 a week ago and could not be happier with the decision.
Now it's time to farkle it out!
Look forward to hanging out on the site.

P.S. Does anyone have an opinion on good Kawasaki service in Minneapolis/St Paul area?
Hi. I'm in SE MN, so no suggestion on dealer up there. I used Plainview Powersports this week for some warranty work. Great guys, work done in less than a day.
I'm down in SE Mn area once in a while to see my daughter in Kasson. If I cannot find a dealer with a good reputation I may just run down there and give them a try.

Welcome to the group. The MN-WI guys are great and get together several times a year either to ride or wrench. I have not had much experience with dealers, other than warranty or recalls, but both Leo's South and Cities Edge have been good. I have also used Simply Street Bikes for routine service while I wait. Most of the events are posted on the "official site" at http://www.cog-online.org/clubportal/Calendar.cfm?clubID=1328
I've heard good things about Cities Edge, but never used them personally. Follow Back in the Saddles link and I hope to see you at a local get together!!
Welcome. I'm from the Twin Cities also. I can say the group here is very active but they always schedule their activities when I am busy. Maybe I'm too busy? Anyway, I used Simply Sport Bikes last winter for storage and some work since I was possibly moving and didn't want to ride the bike in January. The conclusion is they did a fine job with the tasks I asked them to perform and the storage also worked out great. Normally I'm not to keen on having others touch my bike so I can't offer any other suggestions. I did have the Hitching Post in Hopkins do the recall stuff, but it was pretty simple so I can't say how they are on the more technical repairs. They were pleasant to work with though.
I posted the same question in the local MN-MSTA forum and received a wide variety of replies. Here's one of the replies. . .
"If you need maintenance call Midnight Motorcycle in Hastings. Adam(owner) and Glen(suspension guru) are both real nice, knowledgable and will take care of you."
