Planning a RTW trip with a NC750XA

[peergum]

My own midlife crisis decision was to get my motorcycle drivers licence. LOL!

Believe it or not, that was mine too initially... Started a MC training in April, bought the NC 1 week later, then rode for a while and passed my road test in July. This is definitely THE turning-point year.

I put 40,000 miles on my NC750 while riding down to Ushuaia and back last year

The bike never missed a beat

You will be very happy that you brought along extra wheel bearings, fork seals ,chains ,sprockets and brake pads

I've been binge listening to the Adventure Rider Radio Motorcycle Podcast, which deals with world travel. Highly recommended. I'm jealous! Successful world travel bikes range from Honda Cub C90's, to Yamaha R1's, so you'll fit right in. I understand the same women has been doing Carnets (travel documents proving you haven't sold your bike & equipment in country without paying taxes) in Canada since 1987- so she knows her business (get for the countries you plan travel in & alternative routes) . Don't do a Charlie & Ewan- get it stamped in & out of each country, or you may be paying import duties on the bike you still have.

Here's the link to a toolkit thread for the basics- http://nc700-forum.com/forum/nc700-technical/8394-tool-kit.html

Hey Harv'. I was re-reading this thread I started and found your post again... Apparently a few things have changed this year regarding the Carnet De Passages (CDP). See here if interested: https://adventure-motorcycling.com/carnets-for-overlanding/
