Not many orange C14's around.  I bet somebody knows who it belonged to.

philipintexas C14 is red, but I recall it a bit darker than that. Hopefully is not him anyway...  :-\

Looking more closely, it's an orange tiger-stripe pattern... can't be many of those running around at all.  I hope he's okay, that looks pretty gnarled.

And blue wheels! 



Definitely a one of a kind C14.

All we need is a LEO to run that plate now...

Looks more like the "Slayed" rather than a "Dragon Slayer."

Shame I can't see this bike intact. I've really been wondering how good an orange Connie would look.

Ed Martin is an Indianapolis dealer, been by it many times. Can't say I have seen that bike around town though. Sure would be nice to hear the whole story. Maybe the owner will come forward.

I had to go ahead and offer a proper salute when I viewed this pic.  Respect, Connie.  Respect.

I'd go absolutely nuts!  I'd have pulled over or busted a U-ey and rode the other way!  That kind of parade is a killer!

I really hope the rider(s) are OK.  I LIKE/LIKED that color!  Not much on the tiger stripes though!  I'm going to paint my 08.  I had decided on Team GREEN colors, but SWMBO says "eeeeew! I wouldn't be caught on it!"  I DO like that copper/burnt orange look though.
