I started riding when I was a kid, on a Honda S90 back in the mid-60s. Tiny bike, good to learn on. I've owned a number of bikes over the years and bought a Kawasaki Concours14 in 2015 (2012 model). Big bike, heavy, lots of power - more than enough for me.
There are several groups on the interwebs related to this bike and I became a member of the Concours Owners Group a couple years ago. Am now attending my first national rally here in Lake Guntersville, AL.
What a stunning area. Lots of water, lots of twisties, lots of hills, lots of just plain nice scenery.
Will be here till Friday. Let's hope I don't crash and burn, though never let it be said that I am a hotdogger. Perish the thought. I want to live to ride another day and I have spent some time with road rash -- not my cuppa tea!
