« on: February 20, 2012, 03:09:50 PM »
Hello all, Mike in upstate NY checking in..

I had joined last fall I guess it was when I first started thinking about buying a C14 just never posted and didn't end up buying then..

I finally pulled the trigger last week and had one of my local dealers order me a 2012 it should be delivered any day now..

Looking forward to hanging out and learning as much as possible about the new ride.  ;D

Welcome.  Lots of good info here. When the weather warms a bit you get to enjoy a smile like a kid in a candy store each and every time you ride the 14..... ;D You will look for the long way home just to sit in the saddle a little longer.  :P

I don't always ride a street bike. But when I do, it's a Concours. Ride safely my friend.

Color of the new ride will be Candy Arabian Red when it gets here..  ;D

Congrats on the bike and welcome to the forum.

Someone just has to ask.... what color will your new bike be before it gets here?   ;D
