No vibes on my '08, I have heard of a few, but the buzzing, for the most part, was loose plastic bits, more of an annoying sound then hand numbing vibes.  A coupla have had the dreaded buz, but I would say the overwhelming majority do not have the buz.

Let me offer my PURE UNBIASED OPINION, but the C14 is by far the best ride, most fun everyday bike I've owned.  No buzzing, no final drive issues, no regrets!  I took mine from St. Louis to Alaska and back, and only changed my brake pads!  I was too cheap to do it before I left!  Rode all day about 10 hours a day in the saddle.  I DO recommend Spencer's distance seat mod.  Best 150 bucks I ever spent!

Silver with some black.  Maybe I'm on to something....   ;D

Sigh.  That will probably be me in 20 years.

You know what they say about grey hair right? Ok, maybe it's what I say.

Grey hair is better than no hair.

Certainly not my memory...or hair on the top of my head.  It must have migrated to other parts of my body that never had hair before.  I don't know where my memory went.  I've looked everywhere and still can't find it.

Your memory is hiding in the same place that mine is.

I think 61 is way too old to be riding a motorcycle.

Oh wait, I'll be 60 this year.  Scratch that. ;)

How come you have only owned a dozen bikes at your age?  I am on my 27th.  And I trade yearly now so I can enjoy them all.  I hope I have at least 10 more to go.

Ha! I do tend to keep them awhile, plus I've had a few bikeless periods (corresponding with marriages.)

So, I've been shopping around and am finding lots of C14s languishing at dealers all around Portland, Or.  Are they not selling well, or is the general economy to blame?
