2023: What did you do to/with your NC700/NC750 today?

Did a short NC ride to flip the NC odometer to 63,000 miles (then rode off longer on the Zero electric motorcycle).

70th day of riding was a dreary one. Rained last night and into the day, but after it stopped the sun never came out. Just a gray misty day. Rode on damp roads for 38 miles at 53 degrees.

Was off the NC for a week because of the weather or I had to do something with the pickup.
I finally got to ride to work today and do the NC Tag thing.

Rained overnight, but quit at dawn. 70 degrees, overcast and windy for today's 51 mile ride. Supposed to start raining again at 6 pm and between then and Saturday morning, they are predicting 3.6" of rain with localized flooding, so doubt I will be riding tomorrow lol.

on a side note don't go for a ride after watching Top Gun Maverick as you will imagine your handle on the front of your helmet, you'll ride faster, lean further and use the buttons on your left switch to shoot down any cars you come up behind
Good advice. Please report on how well the Shinkos did in Top Gun mode.

And in top gun fashion we need a total score. Something like 3 Toyotas and a fire hydrant.

Around here in the forum, NC is often used in reference to the motorcycle, NC700/750 and it’s variants. I don’t live in North Carolina, but I do like to visit the mountains there occasionally.

Today I clocked out at work about 1pm, then drove five hours towards the soon to be previous owner’s home. Tomorrow is another 2 ish hours, then I get to begin my chapter with it.
You drove the NC?

I drove my Tundra, just in case the weatherman is right and the roads are snowy on the way home. I’m purchasing the bike today. That counts right?!
Yep, it counts. (With no clear antecedent to the pronoun “it”, I read your post to mean you were buying a house! I should have known better, but I’m old, it was a long day, and it was late). I see now in your Wednesday post that you were anticipating collecting your NC this weekend. Good luck, and I hope you’ll enjoy the motorcycle!

After over 3" of rain yesterday, today dawned sunny and dry but very windy with 22 mph sustained and gusts to 50 mph. A gust literally almost blew me over at a stop light. Some water running across the road in places. Today's 49 mile ride @ 60 degrees was like riding a rodeo bronc yee haw! lol

Pics or it didn’t happen seems to be the rule on the interwebs, so here goes
Excellent. The rack looks like one built and sold by one of our own forum members. https://nc700-forum.com/threads/new-passenger-back-rest-racks.5918/#post-155317
