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

[Antarius]

I locked my only key in the FRUNK. Got the joy of disassembling the plastics and FRUNK to get in.

Ugh!

You are living my fear. I have keys stashed everywhere. I had several extra made right after I bought it. I was always losing the key to my nighthawk. I always carried a spare in my jacket and I needed it twice to get home.

Mounted up the new skid plate. I think even with taking off the body panels to do the shock yesterday was easier than this. Like others I had to trim off some metal due to it contacting the center stand, then while I'm making the cut with my trusty Roto-Zip, like a dumb a$$ I grab the piece off hot metal that I just had cut to try and break it off the rest of the way and, OUCH! I burn some of my fingerprint off on my thumb and index finger. Stupid mistake. Oh, well. Here's some pictures or it didn't happen. I'll post more in the skid plate thread later.

Went for my first ride of the season. Sure was awesome. Before my right knee was repaired, I could not reach the peg or the rear brake. I never thought a 50 mile ride could be so great.

So the skid plate happened. Not sure about the burns.

Nothing serious, but here you go. My public service announcement of the day. When cutting metal, wear gloves or use pliers or vice grips to grab that little piece of metal you are cutting off. [emoji3] [emoji12]

I felt it was time to update my carrying capacity and give myself a half birthday present. 37 liter Trax set! And a big shout out to twisted throttle for their customer service. I ordered these about a week prior to their ad coming out on the Memorial Day sale. 20% off SW-motech and manca products. I gave them a call and the nice man gave me the discount without any hassle!

TKC 80 and 70 fitted. Kinda weird first few km's in the corners. But get used to it soon enough.

Mounted my Fenda Extenda. Thanks to those who recommended the 3M VHB double sided tape. That's some sticky stuff! We'll see how it holds up to my 100 degree commutes this summer.

I couldn't find my key anywhere. I figured it was in a pants pocket or a jacket or something, but it wasn't turning up. I finally went out to my bike and found my key...in the ignition...in the "on" position. (facepalm) Definitely not my brightest moment.

The battery was dead of course, so I took the opportunity to install charger/maintainer leads to the battery. She's charging up now. Hopefully I won't do that again.

D'oh!



---> MICROSTART &bull; Antigravity Batteries <---


The peace of mind having a micro jumpstarter tucked away in the bike is pretty awesome, if you can find one that fits your budget, I highly recommend them!



I think the last time I left my key in the ignition (not turned on though, thankfully) was in 1980 or so. In downtown Vancouver for the whole day, right out on the street. I came back to find someone had taken the key out at some point during the day, and put it in the gas tank cap lock, as a gentle chiding reminder to be more careful lol

Decided to take a ride to Switzerland..... Little Switzerland that is in North Carolina.

View from room,


Spending the next few days riding the area with friends including LM15 and heading the 320 miles back home on Sunday.

I received a set of fork protectors and upper wind deflectors from the NC700 Shop and I added a pair of Honda Wing gas tank emblems to my side cowl covers today.
