    How Many Miles Did You Ride Your NC700/750 In 2023?

    The total is yet to be determined but it looks like I rode my 2013 NC700X right at 10,000 miles this year. It went to 4 states this year but most of the miles were within 100 miles of home.

    Out and About This Morning

    This morning promised fair skies and mid 50 temps before a couple of days of rain so I rode the RT up the coast to explore roads near Sapelo Island, GA. The only way out to the island is by boat and I rode out to the ferry landing that takes paying guests out to Sapelo. People have been living...

    Now I know why the frunk feature was so familiar

    In December 1963 I was still years away from my first ride on a motorized mini bike. 7 years to be exact but that Christmas my parents put under the tree a red Mattel V-Rroom bike whose styling mimicked a motorcycle complete with a toy engine that made noises and a chrome gas tank with a hinged...

    Tire Pressure Monitor Systems

    I personally think that a TPMS could save an accident and should be considered as equipment no different than appropriate safety equipment like helmet, gloves, boots, armor and abrasion resistant clothing. Tire valve mounted systems with external sensors should not be mounted on rubber valve...

    Good Friends Find Man Missing 3 Days After Motorcycle Crash

    This young man is extremely lucky. His friends found him still alive 3 days after crashing his bike and going down into a wooded ravine. Location sharing could have helped rescuers find him much faster. If you are riding alone and don't carry a dedicated location sharing device like a Spot...

    Seat mods for 2021 - 2023

    I don’t recall if I read about this… and a forum search didn’t return results. Does raising the front of the 2021 and later seat make the seat more comfortable?

    Question about replacing the headlight bulb in Honda Elite 80

    I'm not sure where to post this thread. It does involve my Non NC700 motorcycle but it's also an electrical question. I have a 1986 Honda CH80 scooter. The headlight went out on it and the light is no longer available from Honda. The headlight originally was replaceable as a single unit with...

    Crazy Tire Wear

    I installed this 180/55ZR17 Michelin Road 5 on my BMW RT about one year ago. Today it has gone 15,111 miles and still has 2/32" of the original 8/32" tread depth. This bike goes through front Road 5 tires faster than the rears but due to trips and such I've had to replace 3 fronts before they...

    This is killing me

    I got back home today from a 165 mile ride and my bike has 7,741 miles on the current oil and filter. When I changed it last in May of 2022 I told myself I would try to go the full 8,000 miles before changing it. I have had the new oil and filters (DCT filter will be changed this time) for a...

    1st generation Madstad winglets question

    I have one the the first generation Madstad windshields on my 2013. These are identified by the curved aluminum base plate that mounts in place of the original Honda windshield. I'm interested in the utility of the optional winglets that mount with two fasteners on either side of the aluminum...

    Using Google to Create Routes

    Earlier today I saw a tutorial post on how to create routes in Google Map that can be saved to gpx and downloaded into a GPS. I was in a hurry and noted that it was in the Touring and Traveling forum and came back this evening to try it out but I cannot find the post or thread. Did anyone else...

    New Year's Day brings new Michelin sport touring tire

    I saw an ad today advertising that Michelin will release a new sport touring tire on 1/1/22. The Road 5s are two years old now but the Pilot Road series hasn't been updated in 7 years. Hopefully prices will fall on the Road 5s but they will remain in the line up.

    What is this rubber plug?

    After I got done changing fork oil, coolant, pulling the radiator and checking the valves today I found this rubber plug under the bike. I didn't remove anything like it and have no idea where it came from. I sweep the garage floor clean pretty often and haven't done any other bike maintenance...
