So this has been the longest trip I've taken to date. I take one long trip a year for the last 10 years and have been to almost every state and province in the US and Canada. This trip has been the best one I've taken. I bought a new NC700X in the spring and outfitted it with Honda luggage. The purpose of this post is to give other forum members information of what worked equipment wise and some of the cool places I visited so they can make the most from their trips. This will be a work in progress with lots of info and pics so I will post as time permits.
So here is the trip courtesy of Google maps. I couldn't fit it on one map because it was just too long.
Western Trip Part 1
Western Trip Part 2
I bought my 2014 Honda NC750X brand new from Winnipeg Sports and Leisure in Winnipeg Manitoba in the spring of 2014. I was one of the first in our area to get the 750. I saw it at the bike show and placed an order for one.
NC750X just after assembly.
Trip home
I fitted the Honda Luggage, Givi Bars, rad guard, fork protectors, centre stand, Seat Concepts seat, LED head light bulb and LED driving lights.
The equipment that I found a must for longer trip were the Oxford Heated grips, Seat Concepts seat with sheep skin cover, hard luggage and the LED driving lights to keep me safe. The things that I should have changed where the stock windscreen and I should have bought a better riding jacket and pants such Klim gear or Aerostich. It sucks to be wet and have to keep wiping bugs from your helmet.
Will continue tomorrow, bed time.
