New member with a new bike
« on: July 03, 2013, 11:16:05 AM »
I have been riding off and on for many years.  For the last 2 seasons I have been on an older Concours.  12 days ago I picked up a new bike- a 2012 black Kawi Concours 14.  Found a great deal on it up in St Cloud. 


I currently live in SE MN, in Byron.  I joined this group to find some people to ride with, and places to ride.  I know there are a few members here from SE MN area, and have found some nice riding, but more is always better.

Hi Joe!  Glad u made it.  This place has been realllly slow this season for some reason.  I sometimes do an evening run after work, so if that works for you, u would be welcome to tag along.  Might try & make the posted Sunday ride Chris has posted for this wknd...  we could travel together if u wanted. 
Those who have actually NEVER tried riding the track could learn a thing or 10 about being a better streetrider; because let's be honest; none of us (Greg) are as great as we think we are. LMAO!

I see that is is a bit slow, but so are a lot of other groups.  An evening ride would be great.  My work schedule only has me working 1/2 the days of the year, 12 hr shifts- so I'm done by 6pm, if I work that day. 

I'd take you up on the Sunday ride, but I'll be out of town with the wife, kids, and dogs.  I was looking at tomorrow's (Friday) ride.  I may not be able to do the whole thing since I have to pick up the wife in Austin at 5, but could duck out at Onalaska & head home.

Hi, I saw a black concours just like yours today while I was out for a ride... somewhere around Red Wing I forget which city I saw it in.  See you on a ride sometime.

Not me.  I'm stuck at work today.  6am to 6pm.  I did ride to work today, and did ride a few miles to pick up lunch, but still 45 minutes South of the Red Wing area.

Welcome! If you are ever off work on Tuesdays check out the Hooky Tuesday ride. It runs south into Hammond, Zumbro Falls and Mazeppa. The route is in the ROUTE section. This ride goes every Tuesday (weather permitting).

Welcome, and nice bike.  Got my Concours 2012 late last season.  She's a bit on the heavy side, but for 2-up, it's hard to beat. You're going to enjoy those heated grips this fall :D
