    Recommendations for quality bike cover.

    Dowco weatherall plus. I had both Nelson Rigg and Speedmetal. Neither of those held up to weather and sun like the Dowco.

    Anyone care to talk about boots?

    Broke my ankle in a pair of Timberland boots last year. Have been riding in the TCX Heros this year. The malleolus pad would have saved me surgery and a 4 month recovery, plus the Heros are nice looking and comfortable.

    2023: What did you do to/with your NC700/NC750 today?

    Sadly, took it in for winter storage. At least this year it came in under my butt rather than on top of a wrecker!

    Tires that fit the NC700

    I'm a big fan of the conti-motions and haven't had a leak in either set that I've run.

    2023: What did you do to/with your NC700/NC750 today?

    I (successfully) fixed the broken frunk and went out for a little bit, just to blow the dust off. Could not be more perfect weather!

    Again with the frunk

    I didn't mean to imply that there is an inherent problem with these bikes, but I've seen a couple of people talk about the cable slipping out. Most of the frunk issues are people trying to avoid lock-outs, I think. Mine just failed. I ordered replacement parts so I can take it apart and fix it...

    Again with the frunk

    I finally had a failure with my frunk on my 2012 NC700x; the key turned but didn’t engage the latch. Couldn’t get in to it, no matter what I tried. After 3 hours of that, I slipped a long screwdriver beside the latching mechanism, tapped it gently (ok, not gently, with a pair of huge vise...

    Uh-oh. Mystery bolt found.

    Looks like the screws I have on the battery compartment in the frunk.

    2023: What did you do to/with your NC700/NC750 today?

    Found out my left footpeg did not actually survive my little fall. Replaced them with some new ones. Odd design with weird little parts but seem sturdy enough.

    2023: What did you do to/with your NC700/NC750 today?

    I went out for a quick 45-50mi ride, the first one (except for taking it home from the shop) since falling off in October and breaking my ankle. I rode past the site of my accident, just because. The best thing was that I had the shop throw on a pair of Continental Road Attack tires and...

    2023: What did you do to/with your NC700/NC750 today?

    Picked up my bike from repair and winter storage.

    What was your FIRST motorcycle

    In 1977 I bought a 1971 CL350 after breaking my hand riding a friend's Yamaha enduro. The guy who sold it to me dumped it the day before delivery, dented the tank, and knocked the timing chain off kilter. The bike was a lot of fun but never reliable. The engine froze up at 55 mph on my way to...

    A long-winded question for the cognoscenti.

    Nope, definitely the sensor wire. It ran like a top up for the next month before I dumped it and we both went in for repairs.

    Off doing other activities

    I miss living in Colorado. However, I broke the exact same bone skiing (left fibula) as I did crashing my motorcycle. Both cases were due to flawed or insufficient safety gear: and clumsiness, and stupidity, and poor execution...

    Honda Reveals CL300 for Chinese Markets

    That was my 1st bike (a 1970) and I never burned myself. A couple of passengers did, however.

    2022: What did you do to/with your NC700/NC750 today?

    Well I dumped my bike today. 20mph and the suv in front of stopped dead, I locked up the back brake (like a dumba$$), the rear tire went out and down I went. My good helmet saved my head. A good armored jacket and kevlar pants saved most of me. I've been shopping for good boots with a malleolus...

    A long-winded question for the cognoscenti.

    No, I never did. I haven't ridden since I put it back together so I'll see if it still starts right up tomorrow.

    A long-winded question for the cognoscenti.

    I don't keep gas in my tank long enough to attract water and a little seafoam works wonders for that. I had the problem before the AAA gas so I can't blame it on that. It's still raining here but I pulled off the cover and tried to start it. It fired right up! I'm thinking the sensor wire to the...
