Had an extremely enjoyable Monday -- Labor Day -- riding with a friend in NJ and PA.
Kitch very generously invited me to ride his 2015 Triumph Tiger Explorer (largest bike I've ever ridden), his 1993 Nighthawk 750, 1976 (I think) CB500 Four, and 1972 CB175 (as old as I am!).
The weather was perfect, the bikes were immaculate, and the day just generally left a huge smile on my face.  Such a privilege to get to have this experience!

Very nice!  Dont get too big a taste of the big bikes, you'll want one!
I'm still fighting the urge to move BACK UP to the 1000 class.

There may be a deal made for the Triumph.  My friend is going to be relocating and wants to downsize so that 1200 triple may well be in my own future.  I just got rid of a car and a parts truck this week so I have room in the driveway.
I would unload my NC700 but keep the 700S, of course.
