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

48 miles @ 46 degrees and sunny for the 16th day of February riding and 40th day of riding this year.

Me, my neighbor and another buddy took a ride down the hill thru Santa Cruz, up through Bonny Doon then up Hwy 1 to Pescadero, CA. Plenty of curves and I'm still getting a feel for how the NC handles. The other guys ride a decked out Indian bagger of some sort and a Honda VTR1000 Superhawk, which had an exhaust bracket break mid ride (nothing a little bailing wire couldn't fix). Was probably 30-40 mi. total and low 60s. Took note of buffeting and future clothing strategy. Also need to start carrying some basic tools etc. Of course I didn't take any pics.

Went off around my hilly locality on backroads for about 150Km. Temperatures good @11C on a nice sunny day. I have decided by now that the replacement YSS shock is a total success.

54 miles @ 56 degrees sunny and windy

Adjusted and lubed my chain. Worked on my accessory lights. Took my Boulevard for a ride.

Went for a short ride to Placerville via backroads than home thru Apple Hill other backroads , but it was 60 * and fairly comfortable. Supposed to snow down to Placerville on thursday and possibly snow @ my house as early as Tuesday (Only about 50 mi ) Skied @ Sierra @ Tahoe tues-saturday and up to 45 days so far this season , trying to decide wether to go skiing or on the NC tomorrow or maybe both ??

75 miles, 67°, cloudy and windy. Merlin performed flawlessly! This my favorite bike of all the bikes I've owned.

That is praise indeed. I also reckon my X-Adv variant is in there in the top ten of bikes I have ever owned over a 50 year+ period. The mix of bikes in that category for me are very varied though.

62 miles @ 53 degrees and sunny, but very windy. Took me over 2000 miles for the year so far.

I'm looking at your screen instead, looks massive. What brand is it?

83'f....rode approx 125 miles today. Over to cedar key, then to chiefland and back to Williston.

Madstad. Nothing works as well but it's not a looker. If you like to ride distances it begins to look great.

It's actually not that tall. The top edge of it is about 3" below eye level. The bottom of it is well below the instrument panel. You never look through a Madstad if it is sized correctly for the rider.

Was channeling my inner Ferret today. The commute was 27 degrees. The temperature is hard on the fingers. Thankfully the 25 minutes goes by quickly. It is only a few days a year I want for heated gloves...
