What a F'ing great bike( a near miss story)
[:0]I was riding two up in the rain around a sweeping 90 degree right hander exiting one two lane hiway for another when I hit an invisible oil slick, The connie 14 and fast reactions saved our bacon. The front end washed out left, She went all the way over to the peg feeler and we slid tripod style (my right boot has a bit less tread than the left)to the outside of the left lane from the inside of the right. The Connie did everything perfect and we lived thru a 50 mph brush with oil. Wife had an oopsey poopsey and I lost bladder control but thats just laundry. DB

Rather do laundry than bandages.
And like we have been saying, this is an awesome handler, although there was big time luck involved in your case. Do you gamble? If not, maybe you should.
