2014: What did you do WITH your NC700 today?

[Chestnut]

A couple days late getting this up, but Saturday was the Park 'n' Ride Rally. Did just over 150 miles, made 5200ish points (about 1/2 the points of the winner), saw some new stuff, including a very nice ocean overlook in Ventura. Would post up pics, but they're embarrassingly awful. Threw my hat in to help with the next one, apparently they're contemplating not holding it again for lack of volunteers.
My dad used a route I sent him and got 4th place

Glad to see you are riding again. Volunteers are hard to find for just about any such ride. Hope you had a good time.

Took my first trip on MyNCX to Big Brutus!

Nice short ride to practice and get used to the bike.

The weather has been so nice here in Central Texas I left early in the morning yesterday and rode about 450 miles and hit the 'twisted sisters' and some of my other favorite Hill Country roads in the area. What a nice day it was!

I met itlives and a friend of his for breakfast. Itlives and I then rode up to his campsite in Oklahoma. It was nice to meet someone from the forum and I had a nice 270 mile round trip ride too.

One pic is as we were getting ready to leave from breakfast (man that sun was bright). The other is Itlives and our bikes way in the background on top of Poteau Mtn.

Packed up today and forced myself to go home after spending the last 6 days riding and camping on the Ozarks



Camped at Long Pool, rode over and camped at White Rock Mnt with an incredible sunset, went back to Long Pool to ride with a guy I met from Mississippi on a KLR, told great tells around the camp fire with a dude on a KLX250 from Florida, went on a group ride Saturday, and packed up today. Hopefully some pics and video to come.

Took a short ride just to celebrate the second anniversary of getting my motorcycle endorsement.

Well today I decided since I can't go ride because of all the snow ...

Thanks!!! It's humorous to me what you can fit in there. It road just fine with the lid open too.

During my trip last week I went on a group ride on Saturday and upon seeing some red clay it made me miss Alabama so I had to wallow in it.

Yikes, looks like that nice soft mud kept you from serious injury. ;P

 

[OldJeff]

You really liked that red clay! I see you got plenty on the seat so you could take it home

 

[Fuzzy]

So what tires will you try next for staying upright on that slicker than snot wet red stiff.

 

[CobraJet]

I rode through some similar red clay/mud on my Yamaha DT250 when I was stationed in Guam back in the mid-70's. "Slicker than snot" - no kidding. We only had a small (6 foot) ridge to climb to get out of the jungle after a small rain storm, and none of us (a 125, my 250, and and RT360) could manage it. We ended up dragging the bikes through the bushes just to have something to get a foothold on. Wallowing in the mud was FUN! (NOT)

Going to get a new TKC80 for the front. Thinking Kenda Big block for the rear. The Pirelli Scorpion Rally on the rear is good in the mud, figure it would also be good in sand, but slides a lot on gravel. It also howls like a Gumbo Mudder on the pavement. For the red clay I’m going to slow down and paddle through it next time.

I'm losing track of who had what tires and what combos split between front/rear... Did you ever have a rear TKC80? If so, what kind of mileage did you get out of it?

I have about 8,000 miles on mine give or take, and it's still got a wee bit of life left, but it's at the point where I'm trying to decide whether or not I should put the new TKC sitting in my living room on over the winter, fresh for next year, or wait until the thing is truly shagged before swapping out, lol.

nah he is just having a mud bath not been washed for a week

I've had the Full Bore/Shinko 705s. When I bought a second set of rims they came with 3/4 worn TKC80 front Scorpion Rally rear. Since I can swap between the 2 sets I can't keep up with miles I put on them anymore. Well I could but too much effort for me. Kept reading about TKC80 rear having short life and everyone seems to like the Big Block so I had made my mind up to go with them but with you getting 8k miles now I'm back to wondering. Guy on the ride had Mitas E07 Dakar rear on a BMW F800 and he liked it.
