Okay, 7 months later I reached peace with myself and bought a NC700x DCT. I hope to do a lot of forrest service roads etc, but reality says it will spend more time on pavement. I don't heal as quickly as I used to, so the DCT "should" remove temptation and keep me from trying to take on more than I or the bike can handle.
Congrats, looks like a lot of fun!
