  1. Something else about the Connie, the wind protection allows riding all year long.  I rode the Connie to work in the mid to upper 30s yesterday and it was nice.  I rode the FZ1 today at 39 degrees, and it was noticeably cooler.   If you so decide,  you will not need to winterize your freight train.

  2. You probably won't have any valves that are too tight on your first service. Do the items that Tim mentioned above, and the Connie will be a great bike for you.  Plenty of room to bring a week's worth of stuff for a vacation, but sporty enough to have a lot of fun when you get there.  Sport touring bikes are where it's at.

  3. My second 10U is working well.  I wanted to switch to the 20S when my first 10U failed.  After reading these comments on the 20S, I am glad they didn't let me change to the 20S.

    Sena used to be the best product on the market.  If there products keep having issues, somebody else will step up with a better product.

    I remember my first time I went to Hatfield McCoy(early 2000's we stayed in Gilbert, WV). Rockhouse is definitely rockiest of all the trailheads. We used to go to the Little Coal River Trailhead, which is now closed. @Connie14 print and laminate a map of whichever trail system you're going to ride, it makes it nice being able to glance at the map.

    Thanks!  I will definitely print one off.  We are headed over to the Buffalo Mountain trailhead near Williamson.

    Take it your knee is back to 100%. Have you ridden Hatfield before?

    My knee is back to 100%.  I haven't been to Hatfield yet. One of my friends that organized the trip has been there.  It should be a lot of fun.   I do not intend to not get in over my head with any of the really tough trails.  

    Have you ridden it? (If so, any advise?)

    ^^This will be your friend!  Best bang for the buck in that price range as far as I'm concerned. 

    I have been periodically checking that website for nearly a year while researching potential bikes.  It seems to be a good resource.

    My initial thought is to do very little to the bike this year.  I want to put on some miles before making too many changes.  I can ride the Connie if I need to go long distances.  After a thousand miles or two, I will look at the reflash and other modifications.  I would like to ride one with a reflash to see if it's worth it.
