One of the things I love about commuting on a motorcycle is you can see more of the sky while riding than you can in a car. Gives me an opportunity to see little things like this. https://youtu.be/bm5My0JA8bE

I recently had the pleasure of riding in an event put on by Family Off-Road Adventures - Yosemite Dual Sport Adventure 2011. On Friday last week, a co-worker, a friend of his he had just made and I rode out to Buckmeadows for the event. My co-worker Jason and I stayed a at local hotel and his...

Has anybody changed out the bearings on this bike themselves yet? If so which bearing removal/install tool did you use/recommend? How difficult is it? I have a service manual, just don't have the tools. Yet... So basically I'm curious because my rear wheel bearings need replacing, parts have...

Pun intended. Hehe. Finally got around to upgrading the wimpy stock, sorry excuse for a horn. Bought a dual Hella horn that many Subaru drivers would be familiar with. It came with bright red frame. I took it apart and painted it flat black, then put it back together. Having the SW-MOTECH skid...

Well, got rear ended on my way home tonight from work. By another bike, who was rear ended by another bike. Crazy chain reaction. I'm fine and luckily didn't have to lay the NC down, but it took a hard enough hit to the rear that I didn't feel safe riding away. Messed up the tail light assembly...

Here's a snippet of my commute home from work on Saturday. Trying out my new SJ4000 camera as a "dash cam" of sorts for my commutes. Posted this little bit for one of my co-workers who's drooling over a Multistrada. He currently rides a Ducati Monster. I too, used to drool over the Multistrada...

So man, did I have an adventure today! Got up at 4am, had some coffee and breakfast then hit the road from Stockton to HWY 4 east bound to the mountains. Went past Big Trees and found forest trail 7N09. Took that for a while until hitting a short patch of black top before getting back onto the...

Got up early this morning to go take some pictures of the sunrise over Emerald Bay this morning. Didn't bring my laptop on vacation, so here's some cellphone pic's. It was beautiful! Wish I would have prepared better and brought a thermos with some coffee and something to eat. Then I...

Decided to make my own chain oiler. After seeing the price of some of the popular ones. I did some research on how to make my own. I used a primer bulb from a weed Wacker that I picked up a Sears for $10 and a clutch reservoir off eBay for $15 shipped, some 1/4 in clear tubing, zip ties and...

So I finally got my new Shinko 705's mounted up the other day. Had PR3's on before got decent mileage out of them, maybe about 10k. Not quite what I was expecting for the price of the tires, but better than the stock Metzlers. Last tire change I changed them myself on the garage floor with some...

Just had hernia repair surgery yesterday. So looks like I won't be putting any more miles on the NC probably for the rest of the year. Doctor has me off work until the 13th of Dec. Ride safe out there you guys and gals. Meanwhile I'll try and live through those posting about their adventures...

Posted this in the California Riders Group, but so far Chestnut and her husband are the only other people who are coming so I though I'd post here too, to see if any others might want to come join us. We're headed out to Mono Lake on the 20th of this month. I'm from Stockton and Chestnut and...

I'm getting real close to needing a set of new brake pads in the front. I've never had to change pads on a motorcycle before. Can I just change out the pads, bleed the lines and that's it? Or do we need a new rotor at the same time? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 4

Today I hit one year with my NC. Still loving this bike. Mostly commuting on her, but starting to venture out on some of my days off to take some trips. Other mile stone was on my way home from work today I saw this on my odometer. Had to pull over and take a pic. Sent from my DROID RAZR...

I have created a group for the NC700's on Flickr. Feel free to join if you have a Flickr account and add any pic's of the NC there. So far my three pic's are the only ones in the group. Here's the link: Flickr: The Honda NC700X/S/XD Pool Cheers!:cool:

My wife and I can out to Monterey this weekend to take our kids to the aquarium. Just so happens that the races are also going on at Laguna Seca raceway. Here's some pictures I took with my phone. Got some with my camera that I can share when I get home to my computer.

Got my new Michelin PRC3's mounted up today. Thought I'd give them a try and see what the hype is all about. I didn't have a problem with the Metzelers put about 9,200miles on them before needing to change the rear, but supposedly the Michelin's will last longer. Did the swap myself in the...

I installed these lights awhile back. Finally getting around to making a thread about it. I was "spending too much time in the garage" at the time if you know what I mean to post during the install. I used learning from this thread for power distribution...

Finally got around to mounting my two MSR fuel bottles and the "tool tubes" (purchased from a tractor supply store). I used zip ties for most of the mounting except for the metal bracket I got at Lowes put under the top box. I bolted that to the top box for extra stability. So far it has with...

Commuting on the NC is going to make me late for work!! Been on swing shift all week, starts at 1pm. Had beautiful weather for my mid-day commute and each day. I find myself taking a longer route to work to enjoy some twistys, better scenery and mid-day temps in the low to mid 70degsF. Tempted...
