I need to stay off the internet looking at motorcycles. Dude on adv rider has a sick 2016 manual w/low miles and hard panniers. He's asking ten and some change. It's the red one... which is strange, I'm not a red guy... ever... but that bike is sick and I want it. Foolish ideas going through...

This. Just take your bags/luggage off and leave the bike parked outside where it belongs.

ADVrider's market place is the devil.

Lucky bastard, good for you!

Two summers ago for vacation, my wife and I flew from Detroit to Seattle. We stayed there 2 nights, then rented a car and drove down the coast, ultimately ending in (and flying back from) San Francisco. We took 101 and 1 all the way down. Simply unreal scenery. Make sure you take it easy on...

Add highway 101 down the Pacific Coast to your bucket list, then connect to Highway 1 in California. Trust me.

Wow, that's really weird. The past couple days I've been thinking if mine doesn't sell, I'd paint the silvers green. I was going to go with an OD green, possibly a matte finish, but green nevertheless. Very cool man!

Stability wise, probably okay, but comfort wise for any distance, not so much. If I was buying a bike knowing that a large percentage of its use would be 2up, I wouldn't recommend the NC. It's just not a 2up type bike.

With a larger windshield, it's great on the freeways. I've done hundreds of miles at 80 mph + in gusty winds across the plains and the NC did it like a champ, ripping past semi's at WOT. I'm completely comfortable on the NC at freeway speeds. It's totally capable for extended freeway travel in...

My next street bike will be a GS1200 R. My hope is 2 years from now, I can make that happen. Spring 2019, I'm taking delivery. That's the goal.

Avon's definitely have good reviews, but seem to be twice the price. Hmm.. too bad we can't just get the E-07's up front too.

Welcome fellow Michigander! Looks like you've got a nice set up there. But not sure if you're asking about your seat and/or any other needed mods. Looks like you've got the full Honda luggage set, center stand, and a larger windshield. The only other thing that comes to mind is a 12v/USB...

Since the Mitas E-07 isn't available in a size for the NC's front (sadly), what are everyone's thoughts on going with the Mitas E-07 on the rear with a Shinko 705 on the front? I know some folks run the Mitas E-07 on the rear with a Shinko 805 or TCK80 up front, but I'm thinking the 705 would...

You only really need to lube it every 500 miles, especially if you're on the freeway all day, but cleaning is not necessary. Just make sure you have some chain lube or gear oil, or whatever goop you prefer but, like I said, you do not have to clean it this often. But don't leave home without...

I've found that nothing gets my enthusiasm about riding as a long distance road trip. It's crazy. As soon as I get home, all I want to do is start planning the next trip, adding farkels I just realized I'd like, figuring out a new destination to conquer on 2 wheels.

For the past few years, I've had a Shoei RF1200. Just bought a new Icon Variant a coupe months ago and have been wearing that this year. Love both helmets, except for the sizing of the Variant runs really small. Had to order 2 size up liner/cheek pad set just so it fit. But now that it does...

Weather should be plenty warm/dry by then. Sounds like a good trip to employ a bit of stealth camping.

The trunk (topcase), as far as I know, only comes in silver and black. But the saddle bags come black. You can get silver decorative/aesthetic panels for them, but unless you purchase them additionally, they're just black. I'd suggest getting some form of hard/locking luggage, whether...

I've been drooling over beamers lately too... the newer GS1200's are just sick. I'm going back to school right now to finish up my degree and told the wife a brand new GS1200 R is going to be my graduation gift to myself.

Another win for the Beowulf.. has a nice little bracket with a rubber stoper that perfectly accommodates the center stand. Great customer service too. I had an issue with the connecting pipes on the dual muffler set for my Vee. They sent me a replacement set immediately (completely free, of...
