Out with the old, in with the new
Add me to the club of new bike owners. I'm staying in the Kawasaki fold, but my new bagger doesn't bear the Vulcan name. The engine has a few less CC's but doubled up on the cylinders.
I brought home my 2012 Candy Arabian Red Concours on Saturday. Rode about 100 miles yesterday afternoon and what a fun ride.

Congratulations Glenn.

I remember our conversation well Glenn. I too figured it would happen soon. Congratulations on the new ride. It's kind of like a young stallion in a way, don't let it throw you. Ride safely.
Mitch

Congratulations, I really like those bikes, they look like they would be a lot of fun to ride.
Probably a little more pep in it as well.

Congrat's Glenn on the new bike. That is most likely what I would be riding if my body would let me!

Too bad they couldn't get the Nomads to make even a 100hp. That would liven things up.

When we talked in Antlers it was obvious that you were smitten with Connie. I hope you and her have many happy miles together. Sweet color.
