A rejoin from southern Maine

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.

Welcome back to the FJR world! You have a significantly nice new bike.
Next time it's 280°C in Portland we will have to go for a ride through the city again
See ya @ NERDS

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.

Were you formerly known as Sully? Wreck at an EOM?

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.
