My wife hopped on the back and we rode around Grand Lake, about 110 miles. Our longest ride together so far.
It was about 85, much more reasonable than the past week.

A few days short of my 4th anniversary with the NC . . .

I think he was asking how you get to the filler neck with your bike loaded

I learned two important lessons today; first beware the shoulder of gravels roads after a heavy rain, they are very soft. I already knew this having grown-up on gravels roads but for some reason today I thought this fact didn't apply. Second don't carry any hard objects (ie, cell phones) in your jackets chest pocket. I don't think I broke any ribs buy they are at least bruised and quite tender.

OK, I re-learned a third thing...Throttle is your friend and don't be afraid to use it, like I was.

Rode in to work today, and the temp was near perfect. I dont think the ride home will be the same. But as the rest of the week looks like crap for weather, I'll take it.

It's true. When on gravel, it is easier to right the bike when you power it through with good throttle control.
When in doubt, gas it.

Stay safe. [emoji13]

Sorry to hear about the drop, berlix. It rained hard! At least that probably means the ground was soft.

I know I shouldn't carry my phone in the chest pocket, but you know, that's what it is designed for. Plus I need to be able to get to it when I pull over at a Pokestop.

I bruised my ribs when I dropped my first bike practicing braking. That is what led me to buy an air bag vest. I had full gear on when I fell, but no rib protection.

I rode my NC to work like I do pretty much every day. Today however the odometer rolled over 40,000 miles. Time for some maintenance.

Throwback Thursday

Throwback Thursday (for some reason this never posted when I opened an account here when I bought my NCX):

Bootsy wanted to go out for a spin on my new ride the moment I brougth it home. I told him he can't because he doesn't watch for oncoming vehicles, and tends to scratch the seat up. Maybe he needs to take the Motorcycle Safety Foundation beginner course, and get some leather riding mitts.

Changed my oil, put the plastic parts of my barkbusters back on and took most of the parts off to check my valves in the morning when the motor is all cooled down. Tomorrow valve adjustment and my NC700X gets its first wash

 

[rippin209]

Hit 40,000, miles on Wed, changed my oil yesterday and now I'm going to check/adjust my valves (now that the engine is cold)
