Gentlemen - Born in 1951. Lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba until 1991 when I moved to Wisconsin. Was an avid canoeist and kayaker for 41 years until elbow surgery in 2008. That's when I started noticing motor bikes. Learned to ride on a Ninja 250. Moved up to a KLR 650 and then a Versys 1000 for the last three years. That bike was too heavy for me and I developed tendonitis in my left wrist. Have been on a NC750X DCT for the last two weeks. I love this bike! Not having to clutch and shift has made riding way more fun. I'm looking forward to learning more about this bike and the people who ride it. Cheers!
