Hello to All!
I would like to introduce myself. I am a long time motorcycle rider, car & motorcycle mechanic, and Engineer. I see motorcycles and the sport from many perspectives. Street rider, dirt rider, ex-racer, and life-long enthusiast. I try to deal in facts, avoiding opinion where possible. I've had lots of "bikes" over the years and each one holds special memories.
I picked up a low miles 2014 NC700X recently and decided to join this forum. I have found that forums like these hold invaluable info.
Why the NC? Well, I sold my DRZ400SM to one of my boys. This left me without a spare bike for a visiting buddy to ride. A friend owned a NC and really likes it. So, while perusing Craigslist, the NC popped up. While it did need some attention (tires, lube, detailing, etc), the low miles and agreed upon price made it a non-brainer. Now I have a loaner bike and a casual ride to augment my ST1300.
Thanks in advance for all the help members will provide. I will do my best to contribute also.
