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

[Rapturee]

so yesterday i went for a short 45 mile ride, brisk but nice! I am noticing a severe drop in mpg's though with this new de-cat pipe and believe i have located the terrible issue. I have noticed an often but yet tremendous tendency to be in "S" mode and roll the throttle and rip through the gear listening to that Brap Brap! So the issue i located, is the loose nut behind the bars roflol!!!

Pulled my wheel off to replace my rear bearings. Broke one of those rubber dampeners somehow after it fell out of the chainring spider and landed on the ground.

Then I remembered the last time I did my bearings I did it at my buddy's and I only have bearing install tools. I don't even have a long screwdriver to shadetree the bearings out.

Stuffs on backorder till mid March.

Well that sucks….

Sunny and 50's today, so went out for a couple hours. Country roads and a few gravel roads through farms. Perfect!

Sunny and got up to 30 today so I also got out for an hour and a half.

Schedule 40 pvc through the inside of the wheel and a mallet tapping will push the bearing out if in a pinch. If you have to wait that long for a bearing puller.

Years ago I had luck finding a small bearing puller at a local auto store.

Just trying to help.

Went for a short 25 mile trip at 37 degrees. I don’t have all the correct winter gear, no electric heated jacket or gloves. With some layering, my motorcycle jacket with the zip in liner & over pants I did ok. Definitely need a warmer neck gaiter though…

I hobbled out to the bike to check on the battery maintainer. The last ice storm we had, I slipped and fell on my steps and hyperextended and twisted my knee, so no riding for a few more days...been 10 days since it happened and I now can place full weight on my leg-nothing broken....just twisted, bruised, battered...

I had a nice 600+ mile weekend. Rode up to SW'ern Va to see family & friends for my long, 3-day'er and got some good riding in as well.

Took the opportunity to ride up on the Knob to the hunting cabin Sunday and meandered some on the way back yesterday - getting pics at Hungry Mother State Park (Va) Overlook and was able to cover some of the MABDR Section-1, from Marion to Damascus. Sorry for the lack of photos - I'm trying to teach myself to stop more, I just enjoy the ride so much! The Knob was a bit challenging for me with packed snow in a few places (& not the best tires for it, Dunlop Trailmax D409's) and some very steep sections, bike did well thought - I now have a better idea of what my bike can do with some load and am confident can do the full MABDR later this year. I do need to remember to take my cover though, when I'm not going to have it sleeping in garage overnight, at least to keep the frost off the bike.

After looking at this forecast for tonight, I went into the garage to look at my NC, and cried!
Those temps are in Fahrenheit.
Tonight, -33F
With windchill, -54F.
OMG!

 

[the Ferret]

Brrrrr thats too cold for me

I snuck in an hours ride between rains. We got an inch and a half of the liquid sunshine today.

Some of my favorite roads in that part of Virginia.

Had the key in hand to put my new insurance card in the frunk and just had to start it up! True to Honda form it did not hesitate. It will not be long until I am out getting some wind therapy

I swapped the battery tender from one bike to the other. That's my big excitement mid-February.

 

[TNHoosier]

Wheeled mine out of the garage to start it. Rode up and down the driveway standing on the pegs (my seat is at Laam to be built). Although, no seat is probably more comfy than the stock seat. I guess I could throw a foundation block on there for added comfort.

41 miles at 31 degrees. Wintry mix coming tonight and in the morning.

I did nothing with the NC. My two wheel adventures have lately been on bicycle, in approximately 70 degree F weather. I try to ride 30 miles per day.

The bicycle is a 1975 Schwinn. I should have posted in the non NC section. Sorry.

I am very envious.
I enjoy bicycle riding even more than powered 2 wheel riding.
However, I did sell my road bike last year, as that wasn't so enjoyable any more.
I'm down to 3 bicycles; my favourite is my Marin Presidio with belt drive and Nexus internal 8 speed hub.
Can't beat a bicycle with no chain maintenance LOL.
