    Dawson to Whitehorse luck runs out

    Sorry I do not get to the forum much anymore as my main ride is a Permoble M300 electric chair. Spent moth in rehab and now have home health (last week I believe) so getting around better, but hard to deal with nothing chest down. Guess I was lucky in that I can breathe and have full arm...

    will heated grips drain battery at idle ?

    Just a follow up .. on my trip to Homer AK and 3/4 back I used the heated vest every day and to my dismay it would bounce between the all green and 1-2 amber back to all green (one or two seconds between fast or slow mostly slow) and it got me wondering. You also need to know I shorted out my...

    My NCX vs Ducati 2015 Ducati Multistrada & Hypermotard...test rides

    I GO BY THE dUCATI AND klm shops ever now and then but when I look at the sticker (2 - 3X) the total investment in the X with accessories, I appreciate the X more and more. Now you youngsters with hormones jumping out the two brands may have appeal way beyond the price. Saw an older with a very...

    Would you rent your bike?

    With the ins issues etc.... no way but I would allow a someone I knew or was a potential X buyer to take for a test drive if he allowed me to tag along on his bike. Did that a few times with my Wing and other bikes over the years . Renting out for financial gain also has the potential for loss...

    Is the NC700X a touring bike?

    Take your wife on a ride on the X with a back rest and you will get her back on a bike. I had to ride ***** on the back of a bike without backrest with a rider I trusted and had white knuckles the whole way. Thought I was going to fall off the whole trip ( 10 miles). Now a lady can hug the...

    Potential NC700X buyer

    There is a rather subtle difference between the Nighthawk and the NC700X. Hard to describe but it has been a few years since I had a Nighthawk so you really need to find someone in your area to trade bikes for a short test ride. I love the NC700X for the reasons noted by the others and the...

    Front or Rear Off road

    Good advice, especially avoid the mud. Guess I'd better wait till I get back to TX before I change and maybe do BOTH to off road, and skip the D2D this year. Thanks everyone for the great advice.
