One thing I am processing after this trip is the difference in comfort between the NC and my Vulcan Nomad. Obviously the stock NC seat sucks, hopefully the Shad sheds some comfort onto the NC when it comes in the mail. But the fact of being in the wind wearing full face helmet and in an upright seating position, I was wore slap out when I got home. My tailbone literally feels like it is bruised currently. If I was on my Nomad, would have only stopped once for fuel on the way home instead of 4 times to stretch legs and regain feeling in my rump. Full windshield protection, cupped out comfortable seat, relaxed body position. I really forgot what it was like to ride long distance on something else, the Nomad has spoiled me up until this point. Lol
I plan to keep both bikes, for their different purposes. Probably won't upgrade to a more powerful adventure bike, for quite a while at least. Just don't need it. Really happy with the NC, we were trucking along 90-100mph in Nashville traffic no problems at all. Felt really good in the curves, although I am going to have to get used to having lean angle again. Mentally I still feel like I don't need to lean it beyond what I'm used to leaning my Nomad. Didn't expect that, to be honest. Looking forward to more seat time on fun, curvy roads soon.
