I definitely won't get great fuel economy, cruising at 70-75, but if I manage 50mpg or so, I'll be happy.
I'm going to reposition bikes in the garage. Right now, the CB1100 is behind my car, and needs to roll behind Mrs. G's car to back my car out. I'll put the NC in that position, as it is easier to wheel back and forth.

Sounds like you're playing the bike-garage dance!

Yes I am. Parking three bikes and two cars in our (thankfully generously sized) two-car garage is a challenge, but it's working OK. Still need to move the Enfield to Mom's eventually too.

We are very fortunate to have such dance moves.

It's hard to dance alone ...

I traded my R1250GS for an R1300 GSA. I have a relatively short leg at 29" (even though I am 6ft) so it was the GSA Adaptive Ride Height (ARH) option for me which lowers the bike 30mm when coming to a stop. The low seat also reduces that by a further 20mm and the "comfort" version of the ARH (there are two versions) lowers the suspension permanently by a further 20mm.
The upshot is I lose the compromised short suspension of the 1250 and regain decent suspension travel PLUS a low seat height at the lights. Very happy with it.

But too bad Tev62's house lacks windows, walls and a roof!
Tev, awesome looking machine and ready to ride the world...congrats!

Wow, congrats, Tev! That bike does look "Industrial", that's a good term for the style. Sorta blocky and purposeful. Checked them out in the showroom, and didn't know they can lower at a stop. Wow, that is cool!
I imagine one of those costs a bit more than a slightly used 2018 NC...
