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

    Just got back yesterday from taking my AT out in the dirt near Yosemite. It performed great. It's capable of much more than my skills are able to get out of it. Had a great time. Didn't even drop the bike once. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Saw a meteor on the way to work

    Will definitely make sure I'm recording on those mornings as well. Wish there wasn't so much light pollution near me. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Horizons Unlimited Sept 22-25 Yosemite California

    I believe that's the same weekend that I'm heading up there to the Family Off road Adventures ride. I went in the spring on the NC700X, this time I'll be on the Africa Twin. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Saw a meteor on the way to work

    One of the things I love about commuting on a motorcycle is you can see more of the sky while riding than you can in a car. Gives me an opportunity to see little things like this. https://youtu.be/bm5My0JA8bE

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

    Well, sold my NC700X the other day to a coworker after buying an Africa Twin. That way I can still see it when he rides it in. Here they are parked together. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    New acquisition, what would you choose?

    I wish we got the tri-color here in the states. Oh, well the silver is growing on me. So far I'm loving my A.T. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Deer Whistles

    They tried it on a couple locomotives for research purposes, but scrapped that idea. Once they found out that the loud pipes did not in fact save any lives. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Deer Whistles

    I don't believe that there is any sound that will motivate a deer in any direction other than a predator coming at them in a quiet area. I used to be a locomotive engineer for Union Pacific. We used to hit deer with trains up in the mountains ALL the time! There wasn't much of anything one could...

    How the NC stacks up against the Africa twin.

    Supposed to be able to. With TC OFF and "G" mode on. But once the front wheel is in the air and the front and rear wheel are spinning at different speeds the DCT will not shift up. So you're stuck in what ever gear you were in at the start of said wheelie. At least this is what I've read. I...

    Sjcam???

    I had installed one of those waterproof power sockets on the handlebars. That way I have access to power outside of the frunk. You can get them pretty cheap, I just put one on my Africa Twin that has 2 USB charging ports and one regular cigarette lighter style port. Then plug in the camera and...

    How the NC stacks up against the Africa twin.

    Thanks for the feedback. Think I will go with the Tutoro. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    How the NC stacks up against the Africa twin.

    Been thinking about that one. Seems pretty simple to operate and I don't have to remove the gas tank to connect to a vacuum line like the Scott oiler. They are very close in price too. So, Tutoro wins there. Been also looking at the Comeleon Plus. Little more money but can get it quickly with...

    How the NC stacks up against the Africa twin.

    Yup, I just opened my box from TT and just realized it's only the upper faring bars that came in. Still waiting on the skid plate and the lower DCT bars. After that a set of Barkbusters and I'll be almost set. Looking a chain oiler options now... Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    How the NC stacks up against the Africa twin.

    Yes, that's why I ordered all TT stuff. Engine guards, upper bars and skid plate. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    How the NC stacks up against the Africa twin.

    My TT skid plate and upper engine bars arrived yesterday. Still waiting for the lower ones. They looked like the best for the DCT as they appear to give you room to change the DCT filter without having to remove the bars. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Has anyone removed the silver panels on a 45 liter top box?

    I didn't actually follow through with removing them but I tried once when I was Plasti-Dipping my bike and luggage to match. They are held on by a 2 or 4 bolts and double sided sticky tape, lots of it. I didn't want to risk breaking the plastic pieces or dealing with cleaning up the sticky tape...

    DCT Clutch Calibration

    Honda calls for 10w-30 just like the NC. I put in 10w-40 because it's what I had on hand, it's been hot where I live lately and 10w-40 was acceptable in the NC so figured it would be fine. So, that's most likely the reason it is temperature dependant. I'm more curious on how DCTFAN was able to...
