The guys in their 70's that are still riding a beast of a bike like this give me hope for my future. 
Keep twisting the wrist guys!

Just turned 31. Traded in my 07 ZX14 for an 08 Concours. Just picked it up last weekend and havent even had a chance to ride. If I like it as much as I hope, I will probabbly be going brand new in the next 2 years. Any tips, tricks, or issues I should be aware of? Thanks guys.

Tips?  ZX14 TBs (flies pulled of course), PCV, Auto tune, Full AreaP pipe, Baker hand wings, 55 profile tire in the rear (if the stockers are still on get a set of Angels or PR2/3s), if you want protection the Canyon Cages win hands down.  You already have the fastest color so no real cosmetic changes are needed ;D ;D ;D
Well, thats a good start anyway.

In six weeks I will have completed my 72nd year.  From what the preceding posts tell me, I have you all beat.

Or skip pulling the flies, buying a PCV and auto tune and simply get the ECU reflashed...much less expensive and better results (IMO)

 Bridgestone BT023/GT, PR2, PR3, Angel ST any of them in a 190/55-17 for the rear

44 here ... and shopping to get back into cycling ... but don't seem to be able yet to come to grips with the idea of a sport tourer. Heck I only have a few grays on my chin! Is that a C14 ownership prereq??

I will say, this crowd is a lot more mature than guys on some of the sport bike sites  :thumbs: ... just not sure if that's a good thing!!  ;D

Oh ... also, I like how the poll chart looks like a hand flippin' the bird ... very appropriate!!

46 last November. Bought my first C10 at 23, an 86, then an 87 at 24, a 98 at 32 now a 2010 C14 purchased in '11. Have always been into long distance riding, having grown up traveling with the family on motorcycles, so the Concours is the perfect bike to combine LD miles and fun twisties.
