Hi all, just bought a 22 NC from a dealer near my home. How it came about is kinda long story but……. Every year I take a longish ride touring around. This year I wanted to go from South Mississippi (home) to Mt Washington, New Hampshire. I travel like a Cocker Spaniel, never in a straight line. It was about day 10 August 12 to be exact, when I crossed the White Mountain range in Vermont. It was a rainy Saturday when I stopped in a rest stop on top of the mountain. Quite hilly parking area and when I put the side stand down on my Moto Guzzi Stelvio, either my foot slipped or? But the bike ended up on my left leg breaking it in several places. I came to the decision that first off I wasn’t using the horsepower for touring and after 55 successful years riding and at my age (70) a very heavy bike wasn’t the best idea.
Well fast forward, I was with a friend puttering around at the kinda local Honda shop and there was a 22 NC750X DCT in on trade with 4200 miles. Excellent condition with a sprinkling of popular farkles for $6600 OTD! My Buddy ended up riding it back to my house for me since my left leg looks like a hardware store experiment.
Needlessly long story but I have been restricted to the sofa by my family.
I will install some additional farkles while I heal up so I will likely be prowling the forums for ideas/advice.
Anyway, I motocamp a bunch and if there anybody near 39667 in south Mississippi, I am listed on Advrider for all the usual “services “
Well hello to all
