Spring is in the air. Well, someplace it must be, just not here. We got 8 inches of snow last night.

Welcome momo65, always glad to have another Minnesnowtan on board.  There is a great group of riders in the area and you could search "MN/WI" or "Brewery Tour" to discover some people and activities.  Where in the state do you reside?  How about posting some pictures of your bike and tellling us about the changes you have made?

Hello back at you from a Cheese head.  The worst thing I can think about owning a C14 is living in the part of the country that only allows part time use of our favorite pastime.  I love riding in the area of the Mississippi River.  Lots to see and the hills and twisties make a day end too soon!

Welcome!  Did you added studded tires to get more time in the saddle up there?   ;D

There's some great riding to be had near the river for sure!

Welcome to the forum! I agree, the worst thing about owning a Concours is not being able to ride it 365. Keep the shinny side up and the rubber on the road.

first of all thanks for the warm welcome, second, i wish they would start selling tires with studs so i could ride a few more weeks lol, i will get some pictures up her up in a couple of days, the weather here tonight 16 deg's, minnesota at this time of year could be a little cruel, it gives us a couple days of 40s maybe 43's and we start to get happy and then by sunday it will start snowing again, but love the state and the people in it and of course my great neighborrrrs (yeah you wisconsin) great people as well, wear your gear and be safe.
