Resting after yesterdays ride with wife. I have ridden at least ond in every month for years, but the years are catching up. The last 15 years, the local Gold Wing club has ridden on News years or as close to as possible with no ice/snow. the tempetures have been prettylow sometimes, but the faces of the cages/lead sleds driver will keep you warm
Be Safe and Merry Christmas

Oooooh.... how do you like the Honda? That's one of the bikes I'm considering for my next two-wheeler.
As for my Spyder, just got it back this weekend from two weeks (grrr) in the shop. At 17,300 miles on the ODO, in addition to oil change, tire rotation, routine check ups, I FINALLY bit the bullet and paid for the valve check. As usual, valves were all in spec, no problems, but $900 in parts and labor for that "peace mind"... riiiight.
However, now I've got it back, and riding every chance I get. I'm settling into a nice routine now-- for fun, over 45 degrees and no rain, I try to ride the Ninja; under 45, bad weather, or when commuting, I take the Spyder.
That said, I got the feeling the Spyder is getting jealous at me taking out the bike all the time. I'm thinking Spyder wants a West Virginia twisties trip the next dry day...

Where's my Spyder?
It's in the parking lot here at work, snug under it's cover and waiting for a 45 min trip to my home. I live 5 mins away. I take the scenic route.

Snug as a Spyder
Since the town put an awful lot of sand and salt down for almost nothing my Spyder is resting comfortably in a 55 degree heated garage next to the HD both with battery tenders on, fuel stabilized and a box or two of LEDS and bumpskid nearby for the winter activities on the creature.

I like the NC700 but it is a different kind of bike. A good commuter and maybe some easy off-roading.
There is a good forum over at http://nc700-forum.com/forum/cmps_index.php and you will find many of your questions answered there. If you are up around Glen Burnie you are welcome to see mine.

Mine's in the garage next to the CTS-V Coupe. When we get the first snow, they both go on tenders, but for now, taking each out when I can. The ST-L is getting new black blades for Christmas, off with the chrome!

Thanks for the impressions. Do you have a manual or the semi-auto? I've heard it's very sedate bike, not one likely to get your blood racing, but like you said, a good commuter with some flexibilty.

watching me!
When my dog expects a walk and hasn't gotten one, she sits in front of me and stares. It's quite unnerving.
Every time I open the door between the house and the garage, Ollie is staring at me. IMG_1275.jpg

Mine is in the carport behind the car, right where I left it after my 52 mile rYde to the Post Office and back... yeah, the one that's just over 7 miles away. The Fahrenheit numbers topped out at 78 today, with clouds and very little wind. Yay!
I do not have, and hopefully should never need, a battery tender.

You probably won't if mine is anything to go by. I don't have a battery tender either and have never needed one. The longest Ollie has ever sat without being ridden was 2 weeks, or I guess 3 when we went on vacation.
