When I go and put something in/on the bike and someone questions my ability to do so. Then, I throw it in or on the trusty NC and watch their expressions. Today, it was dry cleaning. If neatly folded, it fits beautifully in my top case without a wrinkle in sight. The lady at the cleaners...

I spotted one yesterday. I was out riding my "other" bike (the one with two wheels but only my legs as a motor) through the Skagit Valley tulip festival yesterday. An NC700X passed by in the opposite direction. My kid and I both waved, but a little on the late side.

That is indeed a talent - avoiding a Wal-Mart in Arkansas. I have to think the guy on the Kawasaki was probably out there with his cellphone taking pictures of your bike and posting to his forum about how cool the two bikes looked side-by-side. As long as he's not delusional enough to say...

Wasn't there a pedestrian killed there recently? Or was that Kerr Station/Campground?

Funny you mention this. When I was a young lad, attending Cabot HS, there was a punk kid who was in my same class. He had a (insert overly powerful and inappropriate for a 17 year old kid motorcycle here) crotch rocket. One day, as he was showing off, he did a wheelie in the school parking lot...

Would not a touch of plasti-dip do the trick if you can't find it in stock black?

Well he did switch to the correct side momentarily, but that's when the problem occurred. :-)

It looks to me like he started going around the corner and the fixated on the car around the bend which made him more or less aim straight for it. Still, a bone head by all accounts.

Cool. I didn't figure it would be. Just wanted some validation. :-)

Thanks! However, I'm okay removing the factory/OEM side mounts and replacing with other mounts. I'm assuming that this should be as easy as removing the OEM and mounting the others. BUT, I know what happens when one assumes.

FWIW, I just had to transport my bike across country from DC to Washington. I would have ridden it, but I had my son with me, so it would have been an uncomfortable week. I actually found it cheaper to buy a 6x12 trailer and tow the bike and then sell the trailer when getting here than to rent...

I'm sure this has been discussed, but after pretty exhaustive searching, I can't find it. If you know where it is, please feel free just to point to a link. I have a 2012 700X and the OEM side bags and top case. I'm very seriously considering switching to a Givi Outback Trekker setup. I'm...

AMEX is the worst. They will always try to screw you. They did the EXACT same thing to me when I was taking CCs. For what it's worth, you should consider dumping your current process and using one of the many iPhone/Android based card processors. No monthly fees, only per transaction fees...

I have a zero drink rule while riding. While I'm well below legal limits with 2 glasses of wine or a glass of scotch before hitting the road, when I'm on 2 wheels, I refuse to drink anything alcoholic. It's one of the rules my wife and I agreed upon before letting me get the bike in the first...

It seems that, if I'm going to drop my bike, it's always at 0 MPH. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather drop it at 0 than 60. BUT, I'd rather not drop it at all. Well, I had my bike in my garage next to my wife's '12 Volvo XC60. I had just done some minor maintenance on it and needed to move it...

Don't forget bobcats. Cabot has bobcats. I picked up a kitten in Cabot that was the result of an accidental breeding between a bobcat and a domestic. Cute little kitty that was strangely able to terrify my (over 100lb) dogs.

This is a beautiful bike. I don't think my wife will let me have both though and I can't live without the practicality of my NC. Oh well, I wonder what the 2018 Super Tenere will look like.

Touche good sir. Strangely enough, it's becoming an epidemic in USMC life that many a Marine have not stepped aboard a Naval vessel.

Hoorah! Or Oorah! Or Hoowah! (depending upon which of those divisions is reading this).

Oh. CLEAR! I thought you said "Demolish with extreme prejudice."
