Don't You Just Hate It When.....

You walk out in the morning, jump on the bike, and the battery is dead?

Happened on the Connie this morning.

...good news....The hawk started just fine!

It's nice to have a backup plan!

A large, heavy Kawasaki used by those unafraid of deleterious comments about personal style or advancing technology. Concours. Now out of production for decades.

Sold originally with factory hard bags and top box and a windshield the size of a barn door. It was possible to set a throttle lock and roll yer own while listening to the radio.

Like a homely girl, if you get into bed with one, you have her forever.

No, she's my battery-operated inflatable girlfriend.

Well, the C-14 is also a Connie.

done it many times, but in this case, I discovered it was due to battery neglect. When I took it out, I realized it was the old-fashioned fill-up type. I'm so used to the newer sealed maintenance free type I didn't check this one. go ahead....flog away.
