A rejoin from southern Maine

Post by sullivan2016 »

Sullivan here (coastalmainedan). After my 08 was rear ended about 4 years or so back, I fell off the forum following. But after searching for a leftover Concours 14 for a year, I pulled the plug on traveling 700 - 1200 miles just to get the color I wanted (did not like the ultra metallic moon dust black). So in a tenth-inning move, after sniffing around again for a yammie, recalled one, lone, solitary FJR leftover that I sat on back at thanksgiving time, and get this, it was in-state, and still on the floor! After a few weeks of casual negotiation, I (due to snow storm) trailered home the new '16A on April Fools Day. Blue is awesome. Better than that is the cruise control and the other upgrades to make it a gen 4 machine.
Now it's time to find you all in New England, which is hard due to the 99% saturation rate of the H.D. units on the road. Nerds and Eom in sites.
Glad to be back.

First round for how many people? Could be do-able but no $10 shots!

Good family friend lives in Ackworth. Was hoping to blast out a SS1000 to his house or to Jacksonville but time probably won't permit. Lived and worked up and around Woodstock back 31 years ago.

Woodstock is a LOT different than 31 years ago. A LOT different from even 5 years ago when one of my nieces graduated from Woodstock's Etowah High School.

Maybe. Forgot my old sign-in, quite honestly. No wreck, although last bike got rear ended in front of Dimillo's restaurant in front of tourists. Goodbye, '08

Sully lives in Indiana. I was there when he wrecked at EOM.
