We rode through the valley into the foothills for lunch, and then back through the valley home while temps are still only in the upper 80s F.
About 220 miles total.
If you're co.ing this way again, love to meet up for.lunch

I noticed the brakes felt a bit mushy so I bled both the front and the back. Lotsa bubbles, both reservoirs full enough after so I didn't need to add any. Big difference on the rear brake. Tried some emergency stops, stopping faster and shorter now. Bleed your brakes it takes like a minute.
Any thoughts on how air would be in the brake system on a fairly new 2016 model? This seems unusual. Has anything been apart, or do you think it was just manufactured poorly?
Big Brutus is amazing. You really cannot understand how big it is until you stand right next to it.
I rode in the hills south and east of Seneca. This is SE of Goodman, Missouri. I think it is two Dodge trucks, one Chevy, and an old Jeep, all from the 1940s.

Someday I will master posting photos, but apparently today is not that day.
Dunno. Maybe the dealer. Do they put brake fluid in or does the factory? It wasn't too bad, just felt a lack of braking action and figured it was the budget bike thing. I really had to squeeze them hard to get the abs to activate and I figured that wasn't right.
Took another quick ride with Sumo to Port Stanley and area last night to try out my cheapo seat pad solution.
The seat pad is a MadDog / Coleman ATV seat protector. Apparently it is available for about $20 in U.S. Walmart's. I got mine on Amazon.ca for $27. The front of the pad folds under and is a near perfect fit (I cut off an unneeded set of buckles at the front). I secured the straps in place under the seat with a little duct tape and when the pad is not on the clips are not in the way at
Ten days since I got my NC700X. Besides some casual trips to the store or around the valley I've done:
Three days of ~ 250 miles
One day of 199 miles
One day of 366 miles
Still haven't really had time to research or order farkles! Here's from the 366-mile day:
