A few people have been scammed on the site, Only use paypal to pay for items for sale by other members. If they will not use paypal, its likely a scam NEVER SEND E-TRANSFERS OF ANY KIND.
Hope to meet up with fellow NC700 riders. Will be camping in Lot B. 3 day ticket. Then will head south to do Texas ride. Would be nice to have some company.
I must admit to being a total whimp- well almost! I removed my rear wheel and took it in to dealer.New Michelin PR4. Total cost $192.81. Tire was $156.83. Labor to mount tire was $25.00. Sales tax was $10.98. KINGS BAY HONDA. KINGSLAND GA.
Route undecided but will probe enter TX on the "El Camino Corridor" (#84 runs from Brunswick Ga to Waco) Is a good ride through Al. LA. MISS. Then head south along Tx coast for a while.At some point will head west. Can meet anywhere that is good for you. I even found Webster on the map! As I...
There are worse ways to go. While most of us do not dwell on the fact that our next ride might be our last day on earth-it very well could happen. Or worse yet (IMHO) a catastrophic brain or spinal injury. I worked as a ICU/critical care RN for over 20 years and saw quite a few m/c injuries.The...
After Barber Vintage days end Oct 12 will head to TX. Will camp mostly in State and National parks for several days at a time. Will do day/loop rides from base camp. FLEXIBLE schedule and destinations but likely to include the following:
1) Big Bend area
2) Hill...
Pondering the "puddle problem" AKA the "wet crotch syndrome." Use a BEADRIDER SADDLE PAD. Gives excellent airflow and water movement so you do not sit in a puddle on seats that tend to be concave. And its a lot cheaper than most of the " 100% waterproof suits " out there.
Never saw that Color before. And it appears to have an aftermarket lower case fairing with piaa style lights. Is this a Canadian bike or a European import? I might look for in a couple of years when I get the "itch" tornado new ride. Love the size and the shaft drive.
My old ride: Honda Pacific Coast. 1994. 580 lbs dry wt. 46-48hp. 45-50mpg 7500 rpm redline
New ride: NC700x. 2012. 480 lbs wet wt. 48hp. 65-70mpg. 6500 rpm redline
Same horsepower and over 100lbs lighter=a more nimble and somewhat...
Is there a smaller "travel size" chain lube that is effective? The regular size (14-15 oz) spray can takes up a lot of valuable space. How about a non-aerosol drip type bottle?. Does this deserve a separate thread?
I would like to do this for GT and Britt. I spent a lot of nights up there. Sometimes I would be the only one there in mid week. What is the address to request the ashes? I will be going to Barber Vintage Days in Oct.then to Texas. He might like the Barber race track or maybe the Rio Grande or...
Good info guys. As you well know it not much fun riding when its 100°. Oct. will be here soon. Will be in touch. Will post back on this thread when closer to date...
OCR-Get "healed" Would be nice to meet and ride with some of you folks
Thinking about riding to south Texas-Big Bend area after Barber Vintage Days. Mostly camping. Will probably also go to Fredricksburg-Enchanted Rock while in state. Last time I was there was April so don't know what to expect in October. Will depart rally Oct 13 in AM and head South. No planned...
Have stayed there one or two times a riding season for past five yrs. Simple and quiet. Nice picnic pavilion with good grill. They do a great breakfast if enough campers are there. Nice camping area-shaded or sunny. Grass areas for tents and a large stream. Nice simple clean cabins. Some have...
Camping. Riding. Relaxing. Taking Wife and have to trailer bike this time. Got to drop off the dogs and take extra stuff to keep her comfy! Got to keep momma happy!!!. She loves the mountains but refuses to ride interstate. Fear of trucks which I understand.. Stop by if in area!
BEADRIDER! !!!! 1) Cooling- the best. Very advantageous and"soothing " in the the South and Southwest. 2) DRY- In the rain/wet conditions you do not sit in a puddle of wet sheepskin or soggy gel. Airflow will quickly dry it. 3) COST- BEADRIDER $35. Sheepskin $75. AIRHAWK. $175. I have...
I have a BILT helmet that has a drop down tinted shield along with a clear shield. It also has a fixed visor. Love the visor in low angle sun conditions - mornings and evenings. Just tilt my head to block the sun. The tinted shield is a light tint-I use sunglasses along with shield in bright...
Bought my 12 NCX used from a BMW dealership. Was very well "farkled". There were a couple fully decked out GS on floor.I thought they were HUGE. The size was intimating to me. At 5'7" and 190 lbs the NCX is more my size-with Kouna lowering links.And then there is the price!!!. Very happy with...
