Hello and advice on my nc30
Hi Guys
I have been reading this forum for a while now trying to fill up on as much info as possible on my nc30. So I thought I'd say hi and ask a few questions of my own..
I passed my direct access course last thursday and got a little carried away before I passed my test and brought a clean, recently rebuilt nc30 import of an enthusiast. I did lots of research on these and really wanted a 400 sports bike opposed to a 600 hornet or something (I thought a cbrr/r6/gsx etc would be too much to be sensible on for a first bike). The NC30 fitted the bill and i've fallen head over hills for it.
I live in Swansea but had it stored at my folks (Southampton) while my garage was being sorted...It's been there for a month now with a trickle charge and is started up every week more or less. It starts first time and warms up well. I am going home this weekend to collect it. I plan to ride on saturday to get used to it and clean out the cob webs. Then ride it home from southampton on the sunday. I'm a little excited...
Can any one give me some tips, what to expect sorta thing in terms of riding it, what to look out for etc? would be much appreciated!
I've got a fair idea on the mechanical side, got me a haynes and the info on this site and idea on service intervals etc but fingers crossed it should be good for the summer.
I am a complete novice!
Cheers
Jack

Re: Countdown to the start of NBA free agency
Right ive had 4 stella's this evening, so someone please tell me that this post is bollocks???Michelle wrote:A look at the countdown to the start of the July 1 NBA free agency period, when stars such as LeBron James, Dwyane Wadeyouth MLB jersey, Chris Bosh and others are expected to hit the market:
___
DAYS REMAINING: 28.
OH, BY THE WAY: Game 1 of the NBA finals were Thursday night between the Celtics and Lakers.
ANOTHER NIGHT, ANOTHER INTERVIEW: A profile of James appeared on ABC's "Nightline," during which the star accepted a Knicks hat from interviewer Chris Cuomo. "It's a really nice, blue hat," LeBron said, deadpan, before going on to praise the franchise and Madison Square Garden. Also covered in the interview, during which James was not asked where he planned to play the next season, was his friendship with Warren Buffettwholesale NFL jersey, his support network of family and friends, and how he plans to adapt his game as he gets older.
THAT'S AMARE: The sports wagering site bodog.com lists Amare Stoudemire's odds of opening next season in Phoenix at 2-1. Him playing in Miami was listed at 14-5, the second choice. The long shot? New Jersey, 7-1.
SIGN OF THE TIMES: Chicago fans have posted their feelings toward James on a billboard close to downtown. It says:wholesale MLB jersey "Chicago Wants LeBron" in bold letters and includes six NBA championship trophies along with the phrase "Unfinished Business." The sign, mounted on the corner of Grand Avenue and LaSalle Street, was funded by donations from Bulls fans around the world who contributed through the website sendlebrontochicago.com.
WE WANT WADE: The Miami Heat's http://www.wewantwade.com page is nearing a milestone, now up to 989 pages of messages from fans pleading with Wade to stay put. Including this offering from a man identified only as AndresNFL jersey: "Dwyane, In my opinion I think you should stay in your hometown........Miami." Small problem with the logic — Wade's hometown is Chicago.
MIKE-D BOSH: Chris Bosh has a new job. For one day, anyway. He'll host ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" on June 24.
TWEET OF THE DAY: The Bucks' Brandon Jennings is a free agent too. Sort of. "Me and my latest girl agreed to go (our) separate waysNFL jersey," Jennings posted Thursday on his Twitter feed, yungbuck3.
