I'm also a member on the other side of the pond but was able to get some valuable information from Lonewolf, thanks Steve so I thought I would join here as well. I just added a 2011 C14 to my stable (up to 6 now) but haven't had a chance to really ride like it should be ridden in the mountains around my Georgia home but will in the spring. For now I will have to do with the flat straight roads in Florida where I spend my winters. So hello and look forward to the interesting humor you folks have.
Bob, welcome along. Let me get this straight....you have six bikes? What else have you got then? Glad I could help you a bit the other day.
Newest for me first: 2011 Kawasaki Concours 14
2012 Kawasaki ZX14R 205mph GPS verified Stock other than flashed and Brock's pipe
2006 Kawasaki EX500 for the girlfriend
2009 Yamaha FZ1
2000 Kawasaki ZX12 turbocharged & nitrous injected
2005 Honda Goldwing
1993 Harley Davidson Dyna Wide Glide with a 105 inch motor making 139hp that in it's day never lost a dyno shoot out
for over 5 years! Now retired and sitting under a cover.
I see it is 7 bikes but I don't really count the girlfriend's bike. I really should get rid of some of them.

That's a lot of bikes, just make sure you don't start by getting rid of the GTR.
Nope, the GTR is my latest so it isn't going anywhere soon!
Welcome to the asylum Bob,you are correct there's plenty of good humour on here, plus there's also good advice, and its all free of charge :wink:
Hi Bob,
The turbo + nitrous ZX12 must be 'interesting' to ride.....
Oh! to have the 'worry' of riding in Florida in the Winter, damn, that must really suck :cool:

Well, when you have a home 10 min from USA motorcycle heaven it is hard to leave. On the other hand in my part of Florida we have some of the flattest straight roads you could want for riding at insane speeds (reference 2012 ZX14R) on my bikes owned, so I guess the best of both worlds is what you get when you are old enough to retire with just enough finances to do mostly what you want. :cool:

That sounds fantastic Bob, Lonewolf would love your roads :mfr_lol:
I have been to Europe and know the alps and the riding there not that I have ridden there but I have driven quite a bit of it and although we can't compare to some of yours ours are quite nice as well.
Nice bikes Bobk :punk:
Very welcome here over the ocean:-)
