Nice video. That is some flat country down there in Texas.

I would guess not very far, if there was any ice. An then, of course, there are all the tire-grabbing hard-packed car tire ruts if the streets haven't been properly plowed. Still, it could be fun.

What a perfect combination of music and video!

Yeah, I'd never heard of that before. Would I be right in assuming that you don't need that with electric starting?

I just talked with my Dad this week and it turns out he had a BSA single cylinder 500 in the 1930s and then he rode army issue Nortons in the early '40s in England before heading off to fight in Italy and up through to Holland. I'm guessing that this is the bike he probably rode: Norton WD 16H

This sums it up pretty accurately.

That sounds like a great trip. One day...

It would be a shame if it were allowed to deteriorate so much that it would be completely abandoned. There's a lot of history on that road.

This photograph is from our newspaper travel section. It accompanied an article on the remnants on route 66. This section is near Oatman and it is just screaming out for a motorcycle. Has anyone done a tour of route 66 from Chicago to L.A.? Or maybe just explored the old bits that haven't been...

My name says it all. I'm in no hurry and I don't want to expend the energy required to stay alert at ludicrous speeds, specially on dirt roads. When I get an NCX for more highway riding, then the road will dictate the speed. Is it time for a nap, yet?

My Dad rode motorcycles (I think one was a Royal Enfield) in England during his training in WWII before shipping out to Italy. He crashed while taking a message to General Montgomery and spent some tiime in the hospital with a broken jaw. Amazingly, he made it all the way from Sicily to Holland...

I'll second the recommendation of a CRF250L. More fun than a barrel of monkeys. That's what I have and I hope to get an NC700X in the spring. So we'd be, like, opposites. Or the same. Or something.

That looks like fun. I was imagining myself riding that road on my CRF250L.

I think it is just the cylinder head that is water-cooled. The cylinders still have fins.

An SUV driven by some people is just a rolling box of clueless.

Greetings. I don't have an NC700X, yet, but I'm hoping to be able to get one in the spring. I got back into motocycle riding this past summer with a CRF250L and I had a blast on the back roads and secondary highways. I'm thinking that I would like something a bit beefier for longer excursions...
