Connie 14 all over TDF
Not sure if there are any cycling enthusiasts out here, but the Concours 14 was all over the Tour de France over the last three weeks. Many of the cameraman, officials, and I don't know who else out there were riding the somewhere around 3200 km around France. This included some ridiculously steep climbs in the Alps and Pyrenees at very slow speeds following the riders. There were more C14s than other bikes, but I did see a few G, R, and K BMWs. These guys have some serious iron butts and skills to ride at slow speeds, people running out in front of you, and all with a cameraman standing and moving on the back of the bike.

I know several Police forces around Ohio ( and other states ) have been looking into the Connie's and FJR's -- C14 is Definitely a cadillac supersporttourer with storage!! Like having a big trunk in your corvette........got an uncle that's a local bike cop, and he's taken several slow manuevering courses on his city-issue full-dress police edition Harley........they do some amazingly slow turning, stopping, manuevering with this 900 pound beast - fun to watch
