Thinking about new C14

+1...  I was out this weekend and nearly went over on a twig probably no larger than a pencil.  My boot went on top of it and it rolled.  Thank goodness I didn't.  I have done the oil dance a number of times.  I hate it when that happens.

Hmm, we need to invent some wheels on pneumatic legs that automatically flip down, quickly, to stabilize the bike if it goes over X percent tilt at a low speed.   Not sure it is practical, though.  But it would be great as an automatic kickstand, too!  Only thing I have seen like them are on those "fully enclosed" two-wheel motorcycle/car things.

I really need tip-over protection

Just got home with a 2012 C14. Dealer made me a pretty good deal. I had an offer that was only $200.00 less but I would had to ride to Atlanta. Dealer in Atlanta told me he could not make it worth my while and I could not find anyone that could. This was a pretty strong deal I feel. I am not naive enough to think they did not make any money. Once they start replacing parts from me riding the wing like a sport bike in the mountains, I do not know if they will make any money. The footpegs were ground to a point, the exhaust cowls on both side were dented in from the suspension bottoming out in the mountains, all four crash bars were flat spotted. I actually got far enough over in a curve that the rear tire lost contact with the road. That is fun when you can get it that far over and no guard rail in sight. They made an offer which was pretty good and not being dissatisfied totally with the wing, I countered with an offer I figured they refuse and I would beable to justify keeping the wing. They accepted and now I can ride more sportier roads. Maybe when things get better I will get a wing and pull the C14 on a trailer with the wing to the mountains. So farkling I go.

They saved me quite a bit on insurance so now I have a 2012 Blk C14.

I cannot tell you how many times that has happened to me!
