I've been researching the Connie on both forums for a while now. I finally pulled the trigger today, so I guess it is time I introduce myself.
I've always been more of a cruiser guy. (See signature below) Never had a sport bike. Started on dirt bikes when I was 6 years old. I had several dirt bikes, ATVs, minibikes, etc, when I was growing up. I had a KZ650 in college, but I've been riding cruisers every since. I made the jump today. I bought my first Sport Touring bike, a brand new 2017 C-14, and put 100 miles on it already. I had a blast out on the twistiest local roads I could find. Can't wait to get the break in done and get it out for a day in the mountains.
