Hello fellow ctx-ers..
Brit ex-pat transplant here, early retired to the beautiful Appalachians (and the wonderful motorcycling roads). Lifelong motorcyclist on all manner of European brands, Ducati , Triumph and BMW - but curiously, never a Guzzi ! Also each of the 4 Japanese brands. Sold my second v strom 650 to buy a 2014 faired ctx700dct. Felt that in my retirement I needed to slow down, something less heavy, kick back and enjoy some scenery and that the v strom riding position was too extreme for my aching bones. My arthritic joints are loving the DCT !
For the most parts I do my own maintenance - within limitations ! And enjoy fettling for hour on end in the garage. My classic which I fuss over and ride on special occasions is a 1999 BMW R1200C , the James Bond bike. Am an active member of the r1200c forum. The ctx arrived last fall, the DCT sold me on it.
I am a transplant also, from the other ctx forum. There is some great advice on that site and I have made the most of all of the expertise there. I just lurk, the tone of the opinionated few is not conducive to me making a contribution. I'm glad to have found this friendly, easy going alternative .
So, I'm very pleased to be aboard and along for the ride , researching my next two farkles - a Corbin and t rex luggage bars.
Warmest regards to all,
Will Morgan.
