    Happy 1st day of Spring!

    ME TOO ! ! ! Have only ridden Monday this week since last Sept. Mostly due to health issues but it was like learning how to ride anew. We are not going out much at all and it looks like it will be a while before we can get out to go -- anywhere! Stay safe everyone.

    Anyone see this ?

    I had seen this article. It's an interesting concept and is quite appealing to me. The only problem I would have is the potential weight gain.

    Members how you doing- what are you up too?

    Way to go Mike! I'm not far behind you in needing to change my riding mode. I've been looking at Slingshots and Spyders also. My preference would be the Slingshot right now. The good thing is that both alternates are classified as motorcycles.

    Under all that plastic

    That is a mess! I changed mine last at 60,000 miles and just a bit of oily dust residue. MJC: What is with the dryer sheets at storage?

    How I coaxed a little more power from my CTX700 and I didn't have to buy a new bike!

    EUREKA ! ! ! I have discovered a way to add 3 KW power to our little engines for very little costs. In case your wondering, that equates to slightly more than 4 HP. Taking the little engine that might to one that is slightly bigger. 46.9 hp vs 51.0 hp= an 8.7% increase in output potential...

    It's good to hear from you. I haven't seen you around lately. Thanks for the news of the thrift store. When you go back to get some pictures will you check to see if they have a website and let us know?

    Members how you doing- what are you up too?

    I've not been as busy riding as I want to be! But I did manage to get to Daytona Bike Week this year. I'll never be back to this event! To much noise while I'm trying to sleep - keeps me awake and grumpy. It was something to see though and now I know I'll not be going to Sturgis during that...

    Comfort Improvement Modification - #2 A little time with my right-angle grinder and the OEM fixtures were able to be parted off. A little time with my right-angle grinder and the OEM fixtures were able to be parted off. One of them has a hole already in it, the other needed a hole drilled...

    Comfort Improvement Modification - #1

    In February 2014 I bought my CTX 700. It has been a joy to ride and I have put over 50,000 miles on since. One of the comfort things that most of us do is to upgrade the footpegs to floorboards and the seat. I installed a set of Kuryakyn Floorboards just before I began and had Rick Lamm re-do...

    So, where is everybody?

    I'm looking forward to seeing you and maybe some others. I'll be in town on the 7th.

    So, where is everybody?

    I haven't ridden since last November. Then, in December, developed a bad case of plantar fasciitis which I'm just now slowly recovering from. That and the cold weather has kept me out of the garage since standing and walking was so difficult. In the last week I have been out working on some...

    2019 CTX Meetup

    Is there one day better than another for a visit and maybe get together for CTX riders during the time frame of Bike Week? It looks like family and friends in The Villages are both good in the same time. How many CTX riders get together at this time or Leesburg? I would really like to meet...

    I have family and friends living in The Villages. Was thinking of knocking out two visits in one travel framework.

    2019 CTX Meetup

    Is the Daytona time during Daytona Bike Week? What are lodging accommodations like. Is the plan to be there the full 9 days? Just thinking right now, but might put this on my list of travels this year.

    Just another picture

    Are you sure about that? :eek::eek: Some shadows properly placed might be more convincing. ;)

    Looks good. Sort of like an oil rendition of the view.

    2014 Honda NC700X - DCT Failure at 6,300 miles...

    I had a single incident of transmission lockup one time. I was able to trouble shoot the problem to a loose and defective ground connection for the wiring loom. In fact I found three loose ground connections, one was so loose that the fastener screw was missing. Strange thing was that it was...

    Trailering advice

    I would be concerned about the kickstand being in the down position and becoming damaged or worse yet -damaging the frame of the bike. Like you I always compress the suspension about 50% on both front and rear.
