New bike and intro

[Erok]

Hi all, just wanted to pop in and introduce myself. I have been riding all my life, started at age 6 on a 69 or 70 Z50 (not sure what ear it was, I was 6 after all). Anyway, I grew up with dirt bikes and 3-wheelers. Got into sport bikes in the 90's and did a little road racing for a couple of years. I'm now 46 and drive 72 miles to work each day so I went out and bought the NC700X after 2 test rides on it and a few rides on other bikes. Yep, its no sport bike but it gets the job done and gives many smiles per gallon. Lovin' so far and hope it proves to be a great little machine.

That's all for now. I'm gonna go check out the forum.

Welcome to the community!

I put thousands of miles on bicycles as a kid. My first powered ride was a Honda QA50 about the same time as you started, but I was just a few years older - maybe age 12, 13. That got me hooked. I've always been a fan of two wheelers.

Welcome,
Also pleased with mine, and have to say after a few thousand miles, mine is getting smoother, and the suspension is improving.
Enjoy the NC.

Yeah, its not so fun. About 65 miles of it are highway or freeway. It was darn chilly this morning, started off about 39° at the house and got down to about 34° when I made it in to work. Brrrr. Me thinks a visit to the bike shop/gear store is in order to upgrade some clothing.
