What did you do to/with your other motorcycle/scooter/trike today?

Picked this up today; 2023 C400GT. First impressions are very positive. Took it out for a few shorter rides to see if it was placebo and it was not. Time will tell, but this really an awesome scooter!View attachment 52349View attachment 52350

I've got about 300 M on this bike so far and it is impressive.

I did about 177 miles on the GS today and visited an old Water powered grist mill at War Eagle, Arkansas.

I bet it is. Great looking scooter and a great size motor.

Mrs Ferret now has put 267 miles on her X Max and is really enjoying it. So much more than the PCX 150.

That is great to hear! The Xmax is really a well thought out bike. It's crazy how well it rides.

46 mile ride on the CB looking for old cars to take a picture with the CB for this month's CB forum Photo Challenge. Found a 40's Willy's and 70's Wagoneer.

Saw a 20 or 30's something car (looked like a model A or something) while out for a ride with Mrs Ferret this morning which would have been great for the photo challenge, however I was on my NC at the time.

Thought sure I'd find someone out cruising in their 57 Chev or something

Picked up a Garmin zumoXT and a special mount out of Italy to install it in the factory GPS location, both second-hand items for a good price. I didn't have the factory GPS, and it's not been very reliable for people anyway, so I'm happy to have a dedicated, offline GPS for the K!

Did a 90 mile mostly back road ride with the wife and her Spyder.

Took it on a Classic event eventually covering about 340km Door to door. Seriously heavy rain at the start but we soon rode through it into fine weather.

Out for about 300kms on the Strom on a day ride with some other decrepits. A few pics. Two are of the Strom to authenticate. Two are of a mod I saw around the rear sprocket of an NC750X and two of an old car that we came across at our lunch stop.

150 miles this morning on the RT. Took the long way to the doctor’s office. Doesn’t look like I have carpal tunnel syndrome to explain the recurrent numbness in right thumb and forefinger. More will be revealed.

28 miles on the CB. Took it in for some service getting ready for the CB 1100 forum rally.. New tires (Angel GT's 110 and 160), new brakes and clutch fluid, new air cleaner (oem), new spark plugs (oem). Tech said my brakes were still good for another 5K miles.

For the record:
I had 10,504 miles on the old Pirelli Angel GT's 9 and they could have gone another 500 miles)
17,991 on the brake pads (*not replaced ...good for another 5K)
17,991 on the plugs
17,991 on the air cleaner
25,034 on the clutch and brake fluids
Chain and sprockets have 34,105 and passed inspection and not replaced (probably get replaced when the brake pads do)

I rode 60 miles on the Zero DSR today, riding some backroads I haven't been on since last year. But, it became miserably hot outside, so I went home.

I rode today 350 miles (580 kilometres) to visit family. I’ve done numerous 50 to 100 mile trips on the Nc, but not this far In one go on this particular bike. It was a mixture of highway and backroads. I’ve mentioned (complained) a couple of times that at 6’2” I’ve found the bike somewhat uncomfortable and the suspension harsh. Plus Id always felt the bars were too high and wide.

I loaded my givi cases and took off. This was the first time I’d ridden with the cases, only recently having put them on the bike. The bike ran flawlessly at 80 mph, and gave good gas mileage. The suspension felt pretty compliant and plush, not harsh at all. I put this down to the extra weight, as I can’t think of any other reason why the ride felt smoother.

I also found the riding position just right. It made sense, and I wondered why this was the first time it had. I arrived at my destination and I can honestly say that I wasn’t the least bit tired. Up to this ride I’d wondered if the bike would just prove to be a good commuter, but a bad tourer. I was pleasantly surprised to find it wasnt .

The front end still needs sorting out, but I now have no hesitation in spending the money doing so.
