Hi Bob. . . Bob and recently I moved from the once great State of Illinois to Arlington, TX about 4 months ago.
. . . the NC750 I bought in 2020 isn't the best for touring, it isn't really the best at anything, but it's efficient, reliable, fun, secure (frunk and now Givi panniers), so I am more than thrilled . . .
Nice to have another Bob on the forum.
My mom's family are Illinois refugees too. Fun state to watch. Mike Madigan is finally in a whole heap of trouble, calls from his buddy JB Pritzker and other political allies are now asking Madigan to step down from his throne as emperor of Madganistan. Honestly living on the Indiana side of the state line I look over to Illinois (and especially Cook County) politics and it seems like a crazy episode of THE SIMPSONS.
As for the NC not being "best at anything" I would tend to agree. But its good enough at almost everything that the under-appreciated, less-than-exciting NC7--x is actually a pretty great overall bike. Which is probably why we are all here.
Light but long range touring (with mods), commuter, efficient, practical, almost off-roading (real off roading with new suspension) all add up to a fun machine. Looks like you have some giant size Givi boxes on that bike. Are those 45 liter boxes?
Welcome.
