Hi, I'll be visiting my son in Colorado sometime in the second half of May. I thought about using some days while he's at work to explore the area on my Himalayan. The routes I'm considering are something like this: https://maps.app.goo.gl/6nFAU7exnKfjcYi96. Since I've never ridden in Colorado...

I can't find this option on the Forum: how many NC owners are in Iowa? Maybe we can meet once a year? I can't see if there is any kind of "Annual National Meet of NC owners in the US"?

Hi to all, I own a 2013 NC700X DCT that I purchased in 2017 with only 1,500 miles from the first owner. Currently, it has 35,000 miles on the odometer. I really like and enjoy the DCT, except for the lagging and thumping issues. These have been bothering me since the beginning, and over the...

Hi, Recently I spent several hours in my tent while outside was raining. I made myself busy reading, texting, talking over the phone... I wasn't bored. And the tent is 2-person so I can have all my gadgets and cloths inside, plus my paniers in the both vestibule. The problem I had is the...

I bought Bell MX-9 helmet. I'm looking for OTG goggles. But every goggles I tried with my glasses on, I was able to put them on with a bot of struggle, and sometimes my glasses would get suck in the goggles. And all goggles I tried were, according to sales people, the biggest size. I have to...

Hi, I was thinking to do some light off-road riding (gravel, dirt, Class B, etc.) west of Colorado Springs, on my RE Himalayan. Something like THIS or THIS. August, September or October is the best? Is August still to hot? Is it passable in October at all? Thanks for any help.

I just recently heard that there are software updates, even for my 10-year old NC700X DCT?!? :oops: I bought it in 2017 with 4K miles on it and never did any updates. As of today, it has 38K+ miles. Only thing I did "software related" was resetting it, twice. I plan to take the bike to the...

My wife and I plan to spend this Spring break in Jamaica. No, weed is not the reason, Colorado is much closer and cheaper :p Because of all YouTube I watched, articles I read, and audio books I listened, I still believe people are good. And all that "crime and violence" is more product of News...

I was washing my helmet Bell RS-1 (3rd time since I bought it) after my last ride and the sticker on the styrofoam reminded me that maybe it time to pull the plug? I bout it in October 2017, but it looks like it was built in September 2013. I did drop it couple times from my hands wen trying...

I have 2013 NC700X DCT. I bought it from first owner. Since then the handlebar weights were a bit off from the handlebar axis. Handguards were installed and now I'm assuming it probably has something with it. But I'm pretty sure the main "cause" for the issue am I - I dropped the bike twice...

Hi, I plan to attend the Revzilla ADV Fest in Sturgis, 14th-17th of July. But I'll be on the road from Saturday to next Monday, 10 days. I plan to camp, as much as possible. Boondocking/free campsites if possible. I looking for an apps (Android) to find a campgrounds. What do you use? I saw in...

I just saw the other way than Dale's to solve the "tank under pillion seat" issue: Facebook (Disclaimer: I don't have anything with the "product", and I don't even know the "author")

Just got the notification about the latest Zack Courts video for Revzilla. Can't watch it at this moment but I would like to share with you guys!

I'm installing my new GPS. I already have the wires for 3 other devices (USB ports, phone charger and heating gear wire) connected directly to the battery. Wrong, I know. I'm trying to fix it now. I know there is a device that manages all these wires, fuses... Not sure what's the correct name...

Hi, I would like to hear opinions about Super Sherpa as a bike for multiple days, around-a-state-and-the-neighbor-states trips on 55mph state/county roads, as well as unsurfaced roads, like sand, gravel, loose gravel, mud...? I found one in my area, 2000 Kawasaki Super Sherpa, for $2000, and...

I have old GPS, with US map. Traveling to Europe for 2 weeks and I need to install the Europe map on it t be able to use it. Anybody did this before? The new Zumo 396 LMT is not going to be delivered before I leave on my trip. But it would be the same question anyway :D Thanks for any help.

I'm considering to buy GPS. Garmin. And use it with Basecamp. Question: Zumo or Drive? I read some articles about the differences and, in general, the only (or the biggest) difference is Zumo is waterproof and more robust. And the price difference. Other than that it's the same software...

Following my last topic, about the bike's price (link), I got an idea: How about new category on the forum: "Is this price right", or something similar? Place where riders can post ads about bikes they are interested. Or just an ad from other seller, from ADVrider, Craig's list, Facebook Market...

Hi, I saw nice (to me) 1988 Honda NX650, 12K miles, $2,800, title in hand (Facebook Market). Your thoughts? I think it's in the same category as KLR or Himalayan (not powerwise, rather for long rides cross country with occasional gravel/fire roads, some easy stuff...). Thanks.

I'm shopping for new (new or used) GPS and I wonder about the size. It matters, right? :D 4" is small and easier to find the right spot. But, my 58-year-old eyes would definitely appreciate 6" GPS. Anybody has any experience with mounting and using a 6" GPS? Also, many GPS users/bikers...
