Like most things, noise is an individual thing, so many of you will feel puzzled by this post. I was about ready to seek out a new helmet, when I discovered a very annoying sound I was hearing at my usual traveling speed was coming from the collar on my jacket. I found when I pinched the collar...

May be a fluke, but just put on a new DID VMX2, X-ring chain. DID claims less friction with this chain. I did feel it seemed to allow the wheel to spin easily when I put it on and after a couple hundred miles went for a fill up and was surprised that I got 72 mpg. Best I've ever got. Art

The wife just doesn't want to ride pillon anymore, so didn't think I would have that space occupied on the NC. I was out for a day ride and on the way home I came upon a fellow standing on the side of the road looking to hitch a ride, and resting at his feet was a motorcycle helmet. He said he...

Needed a new helmet, and in shopping around and reading reviews, decided on a helmet with the new, "highly visible" color. The tests I read were very encouraging on it being very visible, with the negative that it fades over time with sun exposure. But there are UV shield waxes available...

Temperature in the 60's F. and not a cloud in the sky. Out for a good ride along Hood's Canal on Hwy 101. Not a lot of traffic as this road has lots of places with 40 mph speed limit and two lane with narrow curvy sections. People wanting to get someplace in a hurry take other routes. Lots of...

For those interested in the noise factor. The test will not cost a single cent. Take whatever windshield on your NC off and take it out for a ride, include a bit of highway speed. Then replace your windshield and repeat the same ride. I guess I am one of the weird people, as the stock Honda...

Well I needed to replace a Suzuki DR650 which I sold a while back and after a bunch of looking for a good used dual sport, the local dealer convinced me to go with a new 2012 model at a reduced price and with zero down and 0% interest. So the money just stays in the bank and withdrawn a month at...

If the seat latches seem to be reluctant to release. Open the seat and turn the key and notice if one side seems to hang up a bit. Apply a thin oil such as Triflow etc. to the mechanism and work it, with the seat open, back and forth a bit by hand or with the key and loosen it up a bit it get...

While browsing through Watch TV. Watch Movies. | Online | Free | Hulu, I found a pretty good documentary titled "Brittown". So if vintage British machines, particular Triumphs, interests you you will enjoy the characters and their machines in this video. Art

I thought it would be nice to have a bag that would fit nicely in the fake trunk. Looking through the bags I have it became obvious that a helmet bag, which I have a couple, that came with a new helmet, would be a good choice. I'm still amazed at how much stuff that trunk can hold. I love this...

On the EK chain before it was changed out I noted that the slack, in some areas was 50mm and in others just over 30mm. Reasoned this was because of the inferior chain that Honda was recalling, and this was with only 300 miles of use. So the new chain, the DID is also breaking in with this same...

I guess the first thing I would say, is that this information is for those who feel comfortable using other than OEM filters. HiFlo filter taken off their web catalogue is # HF204, common to quite a few Honda machines. The other brand I like is Wix. Wix does not as yet list the NC700X in...
