2015: What did you do to/with your NC700 today?

[mtbmike]

Pikes peak ride averaged 82 mpg on this trip with my loaded Trax panniers and I just rolled 16,000 miles.

Took a little 70 mile ride up into Huntsville and over to Mountain Green and home again this morning. Great loop with nice twists and turns with elevation drops. Owned for less than 24 hours and already have 300 miles on her.

Changed the oil and air filter today, went with K&N filters.

Getting to the air filter was easy enough but putting everything back took some head scratching.

I helped a friend change the air filter on an NC-S a week ago. You need to pretty much disassemble the whole front part of the bike to properly get to it. At least you can't really reassemble the NC wrong.

That is a really nice area. I am hoping to take a day ride there soon.

Yesterday I went with some fellow riders from work to a restaurant called Billy Blanco's outside of Park City. The ride was nothing special, but it was great to have some time talking bikes with the guys.
I did have the chance to ride an FZ1 that one of the guys had. It was weird to be back on an inline 4. I didn't like it as much. I have really come to love the low-end torque you get from the NC. I did like how much top-end the FZ has.

Sounds like so much fun. Thanks for sharing!

Found this complete fairy ring yesterday after our 294 mile ride-- perfect ending for a perfect day!

Saturday - Took her in for the 8000 mile service. Miles added, 210+ round trip.
Sunday - Gave her a good scrubbing down for all the insects. Was nearly green with guts after Saturday's ride. Added a tank protector.

While I do like the "just got done riding" look, man these bikes look good clean, too. Wont be riding this week, at least until Friday. Then heading down to Land Between The Lakes for a long weekend of riding.

we did a run out yesterday cloudy with a little sunshine here and there.
by the time we heard back for home it was getting a little bit chilly.
anyway we enjoyed the run.
we didn't take any photo's but this one was taken last year so may have posted it before.
its a popular place for bikers, Hawes is another to.
idiot bikers riding to fast,it seems their on a death wish.
29 casualty in the last 12 months on that road between Hawes and Kirby lonsdale.
I was overtaking 3 cars and this idiot decided to overtake me at the same time.
I felt him going past. makes my blood boil it does.

We have a Sunday biking road here in Wicklow. It is the Wicklow Gap road. We have the same lunatics there every Sunday. There are four memorials on it to Bikers who died there. I no longer use this road on a Sunday morning. One of my more elderly friends (70+) on an NC750X had his elbow clipped by an idiot on a KTM going around the outside of him on a bend on this road recently. On another Sunday before I stopped using it, I came around a bend to find another idiot on a BMW GS going too fast for his own skill level. He was coming against me on my side of the road because he couldn't take the bend. Just letting you know this can happen anywhere.

I just got confirmation that my 2012 NC700X has a One Day Ride-In reservation at 8am 3 Nov 2015 for making and installing my new Russell Day-Long Touring Saddle. Xmas comes early this year for me, yippie!

I blacked out the inside of my Red Donkey's factory windshield with Plasti-Dip. A $6 reversible mod.







Whatcha think?

 

[Akar.Zaephyr]

Personally, I like how it fits the red-black bike's theme. And for its price (and ability to reverse it) - seems like a helluva bang for the buck

My wife and I rode 2 up to the top of Francis Peak about 9500 feet above sea level. The road is gravel, dirt, rutted and extremely narrow in many places with no guard rails. This is looking east toward the Wasatch Back.

Your wife has an *** of steel.

I used to fly rc gliders off Francis Peak. Nice spot.

What are those tires?

Took it to the dealer for the starter relay recall, turns out it did need replacing.

Good to hear it got swapped out prior to any possible flaming shenanigans!
