I took the road to iran then to pakistan and finally india.It took 20 days to go there but can be done half the time if you are a hard rider.I just enjoy the scenery.

For you american guys harley is the pure motorcycle.No fancy things just a handle bar a good engine and a tursted frame.But its not quite good in here.Cause aftermarket parts quite expansive if you lay down your harley to the side.you need to pay a lot of money to get it go.So i prefer japanese bikes.They are no fun but good to run.

30,000 miles on the NC, would be interested to know what issues if any you have had in your long run?

Did you do it in winter or fall, assuming it was recent? How did the NC fare in the deserts, mountainous roads and on icy roads?

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night


Sorry, I had to. Good looking bikes, glad you're enjoying the NCX.
