2019: What did you do to/with your NC700 today?

[davidc83]

I put this on my visor per the instructions, inside and out on my visor and it's worked great so far, 3 or 4 months about half that has been conditions that would normally fog up my visor, I'd definitely recommend it

Jaws Quick Spit Antifog Spray,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012Q2S4W?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Yea, I kinda worded it wrong...The fog wasnt actually fogging up my visor...The fog was coating outside of my visor with heavy amount of water-like riding in a fine mist-or standing behind a waterfall and a fine coat of water gets on everything..

No I understood, it works great as an anti fog for the inside but I used that stuff on both sides, it doesn't work as well as rain-x (don't use rain-x on your visor) but it definitely helped.
Fog is a common issue where I live and with dense fog or rain, visibility is my biggest issue and this definitely helped. I have had enough droplets that I had to wipe a few times with my glove (when I was stuck riding (30mph) for 12 miles of my commute

I took the Hima out today for a mix of gravel and tarmac. Great day! One of those where the riding seems effortless and all seems right with the world.
Going out again tomorrow with the riders from my neighborhood. I live in one of those 55plus neighborhoods and there is a riders group. Mostly Harley's, but a couple of beamers and me. They ride out an hour or so and have lunch, then home. Gets me out and I get to know the neighbors. I think I'll take the Hima and mess with em a little. Then NC with DCT kills em off the line.

Been a nice week off work. Rode up to the casino in Murphy NC today, staying the night in Murphy, riding Deal's Gap tomorrow! First time on the Gap on the Honda, gonna be fun!

 

[Deckyon]

Make sure to hit the Cherohala Skyway! Personally, a much more fun ride.

 

[drdubb]

So many good roads up there.

 

[davidc83]

Hwy 28 from Deals Gap down into Ga is my favorite...

Skipping the Skyway today, unless I decide to ride it on the way back home, which I suppose could happen. Will be riding 129 up from Murphy. I was gonna ride Foothills Parkway after the dragon, then go home from Maryville, but I may skip Foothills, ride back down 129 and catch the Skyway on the way home. I've yet to do the Moonshiner 28 loop, only rode 28 from Deal's Gap to Fontana Dam and back. Only rode Foothills Parkway once, done less exploring on the north end of the dragon, as farther north I go just prolongs getting back home since I live southwest of the dragon.

Must have done a wheelie!

Went riding with the other old guys in the neighborhood today. While leaving the parking lot of the restaurant, I accelerated out and felt a bump and the front end come up like I hit something. I kept rolling and everything was fine. I did notice that the gear indicator was flashing. When i got home, I checked the manual and that means my wheel was off the ground. I guess I did a wheelie!

 

[Deckyon]

Just got back from the 177 mile ride. It was exhilarating. might have gotten to 60-62, but never got cold enough to put the liner in or change out gloves.

Glad yall talked me into taking the Skyway on the way back home, man it was nice! Perfect low traffic and clean, dry roads. Couple wet spots but nothing that mattered. I forgot how fun 143/Skyway was on something that is nimble! What a great 2 days it's been. Stopped for food in Chattanooga TN right now waiting out the rain, started raining on me just about Chattanooga and I was getting hungry anyways. By the time I get home, I will have done a little over 450 miles since noon yesterday. Nearly 300 of those have been today. Will probably start a thread with pics, have to really brag on the NC. Although I hate the way you have to post pics on the forum now that admin killed Tapatalk as an option.

Did a work run today. Was slow so my little brain started working on its own. Thought up a plan to fix a cut pocket in my motorcycle pants. With some advice from the adults at Fabricland, I purchased some iron on patches for less than $4.

1 Trim to size

2 Round off the corners to prevent peeling

3 Finished result after 30 seconds under a cloth with a hot iron.

Not sure how long it will last but it looks pretty good to me.

Must be nice to live that close to that area...Takes me almost 400 miles to get to Deal's Gap from my house...(one way)...

 

[Deckyon]

Ended up riding that route from last week on Friday. It was overcast and cool, but no heated gear needed. 177 miles start to finish, and it went all over central KY and included some one-lane farm roads. Very little traffic, most was in and around Frankfort and when I got back in town and hit the switch of the first and second shift at the Ford plant. No complaints at all except for the want for a bit of sun. but with the temps, I will forgive that.

Just over 300 miles to stecoah for me. 5 hours

Yep, takes me 5 hours on the superslab to get to Knoxville, then another 1.5 hours to get to Stecoah on US129 to Deal's Gap than Highway 28 to Stecoah.

 

[Deckyon]

Usually takes me around 7 hours (320 +/- miles) to get to Stecoah. That's without taking any interstates. US27 is boring enough.

 

[superdedooperman]

Looks like it's 660 miles for me! 10 1/2 hours. Otherwise, I'd happily make the trip! I've been to the touristy areas in the Pigeon Forge Gatlinburg area with my wife and in-laws last year and several years ago on my honeymoon, but never have been able to ride my bike around there. Definitely gonna be on the bucket list, though!

It’s 600 miles one way for me to get to Stecoah, NC. It’s well worth the trip, for some of the best riding east of the Mississippi. I go to the Cherokee and Nantahala National Forest areas 2 or 3 times per year.

However, I have no desire to be anywhere close to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg.

No doubt! It's cool experiencing it once, but I'm ok never going back.
