2017: What did you do to/with your NC700 today?

[Hank]

"My problem is not temperatures, as I wear only the mesh section of my jacket and a mesh sport tee when it's hotter, and that works nicely."

Well, I guess that would keep you cool, but I recommend some pants.

Jokes aside, it gets HOT here. And humid. 95 with 90% humidity is possible.
(For the rest of the world, 95 is 35 Celsius.)

It gets that hot and nearly as humid here, sometimes though seldom up in the mid-100s with big humidity. But past 80-85 I have to admit I don't notice much difference between riding with no windshield or with one.

City Rider, do you have those soft bags under the rear seat? Also, any racks behind them?

Went to work, ran an errand, took a picture or 2.

There're some steep hills where you live.

^^^^^^^ Seee I "LIKED IT!"

Hey, SleepyC, this looks interesting, and not too far from here:

Fuel Economy Challenge: Mid Ohio; July 8; 7AM

 

[mooseonbass]

Hey, the phone is supposed to be smart. I do not make that claim.

I looked at the girl this morning and told her , sorry but it is the old girl's turn and rode the C50 Boulevard to work this morning. The NC had a great ride last weekend. This 30' F shift in temperatures each day is driving me crazy. Mid 50's in the morning when I leave for work and mid 80s when I get home from work. Wearing mesh in the morning on the Interstate is just too cool and wearing textile in the afternoon heat and humidity is too warm. Argh.....

 

[SleepyC]

So Murphy came to visit and my lawn mower broke and killed my chance at trying a new NC seat. (ie. took all my extra loot.)

But Karma came to visit right after and I might have a trade deal going for a nice Trails Bike!! AKawasaki Super Sherpa. If I can pull this trade off (Trading some camera gear I don't use any more) I'll have a SWEET stable again. A nice NC to commute to work and take long trips with and a little 250cc Road Legal fireroad stomper.... FINGERS CROSSED!!

Ditto in Ohio. I go to work in lined jacket and thick pants and am "cold" and then after work at 5 I sweat my arse off even after I remove the liner.
Never seen it like this in a long time. Yesterday It was 45 deg in some pockets at 5am, and it was 81 on the way home. WTH man!!

Because I leave my house for work at 3am at the latest and don't get off work until 3pm I have this problem most of the year, I bought a armored vest for the ride home

I lowered the handguards so the Madstad would not hit them, then it hit the right mirror stalk but not the left, which is weird.

So I installed a bikemaster mirror extender I had and discovered that the two nuts on the stem were so tightly screwed together that I had to put the base nut in a vise to get the locking nut loose.

The extender works fine but it will take a while to get used to the angle.
If I turn the mirror enough to see the lane to my right it feels way too far right and I cannot see anything behind me, so I adjusted the left mirror to show behind me more. Motorcycles really need a third mirror.

I put on some Shinko 009 Ravens. Looking forward to seeing if they live up to the hype!

 

[SleepyC]

Karma F'ed me and dude sold the Sherpa for a $G less then my trade. Oh well. Nc will never be sold. I'll keep looking for a cheap off road tool.

Here, take your mind off all that before I start getting into political rants about terrorists wielding drones ; }

I really need a bigger monitor. I really, really do.

I had to work half a day today (every 4th Saturday). Rode the NC700x into work. Cool at 56'F in my mesh gear, but it is going to be 80'f by noon.

 

[misterk]

Did a shake down ride and camp out. I leave Thursday tobride the continental divide route.

I put a new chain and sprockets on the mighty adv nc. I didn't lose a chain or a sprocket!!

I also put a tkc front and k60 scout on rear

Lake Nocona

Left the house in the pouring rain

 

[City Rider]

Went to Harley Demo Ride day in Kenosha, WI. On the way up I switched up with my buddy and rode his BMW R1200R. In Kenosha I ended up riding five (5) different Harleys. In my opinion the best one for me was a Low Rider. However, after the whole ordeal, I hopped back on my bike and went: aaaaaah. Finally.

Finally got around to installing my JMV Concept tail tidy. It gets lost a little by the rack but still looks clean and sporty.
