    Hey Rasputin, Connie is a Kawasaki Concours...

    I'm thinking that Elevenator might possibly be a reincarnation of a member here... and if so... about dang time...

      Motorcyclists welcome here
      Regardless of what you ride

      I dont even know what a Connie is but I know there is room for all riders here. Just some of us are luckier and have XS11's.
      "Connie": Affecionate nickname given by owners of a large bore Kawasaki Sport Touring bike, "The Concours". A well equipped interstate missile with things like a huge fuel tank, handling, good brakes and a seat good for more than a hundred miles, and luggage that dosen't fly off. When piloted right, can reach sub-warp speeds well in XS of a XS.

      And, as mentioned, anything with two wheels is welcome.
      When a 10 isn't enough, get a 11. 80g Hardbagger

        Hmmm.. All the people I know that have a Concourse...or a Hayabusa for that matter... ALSO have an XS11. If that is the case.. then no, Connies and 'Busas are not allowed from these people!! Unless they have just let their 11's sit for so long that they aren't rideable. This, of course, will bring much wrath and shame upon said owner by the other members. lol.

        Well.. at least by me!

          Well "ifn" I was from Okie Dokie Oklahoma I darn sure wouldn't admit it. Everybody knows it's just "The Northern Territory" of the Republic of Texas.

          But then I'm not "from" Oklahoma. I'm "from" Texas.

            Good point...

            but it's all semantics now, isn't it?

            Yep... definitely a smart one... never a dumb one...

                  I have a very worn and dirty Carhardt. Does that count to match my XS?

                      If they're clean and smooth, you're not riding hard enough.
