Slight sadness here, I've had the Concours since 2003, and I probably won't be doing any more long distance riding.
On a positive note, I should have a replacement motorcycle within a week or so.
But my eBay user name is 'concoursowner', what shall I do?
Last Saturday, a fellow from Newfoundland flew into Ottawa, packed his kit into the Concours bags, and headed out to ride back to the ferry to the 'rock'.

Go hang out on the Oldwing sites, like you're already doing. Geezer...
Go hang out on the Oldwing sites, like you're already doing. Geezer...Well, the replacement is a 2003 Suzuki SV650S, a bit different from a Goldwing. I went to see it yesterday, had a test ride (on a gravel road, no less), everything seemed fine. The seller delivered it from Green Valley, ON to Ottawa, it's in the garage now, should be registered today. I admit to being a geezer, but not yet a sedate geezer.

Edit to add: And (!), it has a Ninja ZX14 shock to replace the stock one, so I can legitimately still call myself concoursowner on eBay. Oooeee.
Really? I got a bunch of crap when I sold the C14 for the Indian Roadmaster. That's pretty much an old man's bike. Well, not so old. I daresay the age bracket of these old guy bike types is very similar to ours
