Hello Riders,

Jack here from Advance, NC. I've owned about ten bikes over the past two decades or so. Kawasaki Concours 14's and Triumph Rockets most recently. The Peter Principle, as it applies to motorcycle size, came into play with my last bike, a 900-lb Rocket Touring, and I began to think about downsizing. I'm 63, and a conversation along the Blue Ridge Parkway with a guy a little older than I am who had gone from a Goldwing to a V-Strom started me thinking about the Adventure class. I looked at the V-Strom, Versys, FJ09, and Super Tenere, and landed pretty quickly on the 2014 Tenere. I'm generally a long-distance rider, and I look forward to setting out on the new bike.

Best to all,
Jack

::004:: Jack,
I live near Morganton, NC just about 85 miles from you. And am a few years older than you too.

Perhaps we will ride sometime.

Thanks for the warm welcomes.

Brick, I too hope our rides can connect sometime. I'm back and forth to Knoxville quite regularly (my parents live there), and I'd love to ride some of these beautiful roads near you.

Congrats on the new ride. Be sure to ride 181 north from Morganton to the BRP. Smooth, fast and twisty with multiple dirt options along the way.

Yes, keep in touch. We have a group riding this Thursday out of Morganton. Probably meet at the Gate Station just north of downtown on 181/Green street around 10ish.

BTW: Do you go by Ona? or?? I'm Brick or Dave Brickner
