    What is your favorite camping dehydrated food?

    With a home freeze dryer I bring meals I enjoy at home. The ice cream is nice during or after a day in the saddle.

    so i got a new rear tire today

    Oh no, you got the wrong tire! Just kidding. Let us know how you like them.

    I don't understand this:

    It is how you turn off-road. By pushing the handle bars down and weighting the outside peg it increases grip in the dirt. It is also a method used in supermoto. If the tire breaks loose you can control the slide instead of low siding. Being an off road rider most of my motorcycling life it is...

    Boots required?

    Until you crash it doesn't matter.

    Strap on panniers - a cheap alternative or a pain?

    Overpriced, Nomad offers the same thing more much less. Access is not as good as saddlebags. For dirt bikes that style has some advantages though.

    Strap on panniers - a cheap alternative or a pain?

    It takes longer to take my gloves off than to free the strap on the Blaze saddlebags I use. It is more of a hassle to remove the tailbag which sits on the rear seat when I add that to the luggage.

    Fieldsheer Jacket.

    My only fear is the cager that doesn't know what the yellow line means. On the last ride we did, a car came across the line head on about half way into my lane. It was on a straight section of road! I thought I was going to test the off-road capabilities of the NC for a second or two.

    Fieldsheer Jacket.

    I admit that it never crossed my mind what the cost of repair or replacement of gear would be if I went down at 100 mph. But since I very rarely go 100 mph I don't have to worry about it.

    We do need to go South for warmth, but the roads down here on the "flatlands" are dry much of the year and in th forties. We etc as much mountain time as we can between the other way weather activities.

    2016: What did you do to/with your NC700 today?

    Took out the bikes for a run today to break in the new PR4s. I was surprised how good a new set of tires felt on the bike. I don't know if these are that much better than new stock tires or just a lot better than worn tires. But there was a big difference. Did a shorter ride than planned of...

    Fieldsheer Jacket.

    Wow, I hope to never find out first hand. I really don't know how well it would do. But I do know that it compares well with other of the same type jackets, as far as protection.
