Hi everyone!
I originally joined when I had my 2009 C14 and loved it here. Unfortunately health issues forced me to stop riding in 2011 so I sold it and regret it everyday. I have been able to return to riding and now have a ZRX 1200 which is a great bike but 95% of my riding is commuting so I'm back in the market for a C14. I've come back to this great place to get caught up on the latest and greatest info and I'm sure I'll have questions along the way.
I want to say in advance thanks for what I know will be a great time and lots of help!
Jon

Welcome back Jon! Like they say, come for the bike, stay for the crazy people!

Welcome back Jon ;D

Good to see you back Jon.
Been awhile.
Ride safe, Ted

Thanks all, the song clip cracked me up!
All I have to do is sell the ZRX then I can get back in the saddle.

You will find the dancing banana is prone to over-use. (By whom, I wouldn't have the foggiest idea)

You missed a few Jim ;D

Nope, they purposely weren't shot. I'm not entirely without feeling.

Boy do I have a story. While searching for another C14 I ran across a craigslist posting and immediately knew it was my old bike with only 5k more miles on it in after 4 years. I contacted the owner asking if he would be interested in trading for my ZRX. We talked and worked out a deal, Sunday morning I get my C14 back.
He said the only issue he has had is the windshield has started raising and lowering intermittently, I will research it out and do some trouble shooting. Gonna check it out thoroughly.
What a small world, who would've thunk it....
-
Great story.
I guess the question is,, why did you get rid of it previously?
Ride safe, Ted
-
Fair question. I was having some serious health issues and it didn't look like I would be able to ride any longer. The cash went to purchasing a car. I was off a bike for 19 months but finally got things worked out, I just couldn't stand not riding.
-
Happy to see you worked it out..
See ya on the road.
Ride safe, Ted

So the deed is done and my C14 is home! Man it was dirty, seemed like it hadn't been cleaned since I sold it. Took about 5 hours to get it almost back to how I like it. I couldn't ride since I still have to get the registration switched over. The clear protective sheets I had on the saddle bags to help with scuffs were removed and the top of the bags are pretty scuffed.
It did come with a brand spanking new set of PR 4s on it though.
First order of business is those heat shields for the fairings, I quickly re-discovered how hot it gets. Then get the screen lowering/raising mechanism fixed.
I'm sure I'll be posting more and can't wait to ride!!! 8)
