Hello everyone. John here. I have been blessed to own many a great machine, and, I am now the proud owner of a 2021 ZG with only 1010 miles on her! I'm looking forward to gaining info on the machine and meeting new members. We roll 2 up at times. Located in the heart of some of Americas most beautiful riding country in Arkansas near the PIG TAIL. Also close to Lake Ouachita. USMC Veteran, Musician, Master Mason and Schimitar Shriner. Happily married for 30 + years, and cant get enough outta livin a good life.
 
Welcome, would love to see your ride! Is that you in the avatar with yer gitfiddle? Whatcha play? Welcome aboard.
 
Welcome aboard!! Such a shame we just had this years national rally in ur backyard in Eureka springs back in June. Next years is in oregon... You could have met 150+ members all in 1 spot there are a bunch in Arkansas . Needless to say u know how good ur roads are.

Join for the bike, stay for the people...

Welcome to Concours ownership! Thank you for your service to this great country. There is not much better than cruising through it on a C14!
 
Welcome to the COGdom mrredshoes.
Your gonna like it here.
COGgers are pretty good folks. (Even Konehead)

We ride Arkansas whenever we can.
Love the area.

When you get a chance, go ride with Cliff.
He'll (err) show you some roads in North Central Ark. that you may not have ridden before.
NOTE: Practice before ya show up and be prepared to grin. 🤪

,,,,,While we're waiting; below is something to keep you entertained.
{{ Below is; Jim and I playing on Push Mountain. (We couldn't keep up with Cliff).. {err; Shown in "real time"} }}


On the USMC Veteran item.
,,,,,,,,,,That's ok, I'll continue to talk to you anyway. (Fly Navy) <grin>

Ride safe, Ted

Sorry, we should have warned u about connie rider (TED).... and his humble opinions.

He'll let u know sooner or later the fastest c14's are RED, like his...
 
Particularly look at the roads that are North of the River.
They have a few more twists. (Hint Hint).

Konehead, you can come too. (mebbe)

Ride safe, Ted

yes, thats me. mostly Guild guitars. I like them quite a bit, especially before Fender took them over. I'm versed in most styles of music. Soundcloud.com/user-340277336 for those that are interesed to hear my originals.
but back to bikes, bought her a few weeks ago from Grapevine Power Sports outside Dallas. I will just say. that was a little bit of a drive home (5 hours) so I got to learn about the machine. first shaft driven bike Ive owned. smooth and quite and runs at 3k at 65mph. avg 43.8 mpg on the ride home. 700lb of machine, I will have to start working out again lol

Good lookin' Connie.
Like the backrest and windshield wing.
The seat may be the Kawasaki Touring seat?
Not familiar with that trunk? Did it come with the bike?

After you get used to her, 'most everyone here will tell you to get her Flashed.
More low-end torque, smoother clutch, and more peak HP. MPG will prolly increase 3-4 mpg too.

Ride safe, Ted

I love it! Did he ever do a version of “I Like Beer…”

I kain't find where Willie ever recorded that song, so (to be different) I found a version that isn't Tom T Hall's version.
I think it's more like a group of COGgers doin' a Brewery tour.
Fer some reason, the guy in the RED Texas T-shirt reminds me of someone??
