    Government Shutdown

    I've been out of work since the beginning of the shutdown. I'm not considered "Essential". Fine by me. I'd be really bent if I was working for nothing... anyway, this is my first paycheck that is short. I thought this would have resolved by now... I'm staring down the barrel now. If this...

    Riding below freezing temps

    Move to Mississippi. I did and it worked like a charm! ;) Seriously, when it gets cold around here I have a pair of wind-proof thermals I got at "Bike Bandit", works like a charm! Bundle up man...

    Barber Vintage Motorcycle Festival anyone?

    Sorry man, this Gov shut down has me pinched. I'm too nervous about spending any cash until I know if I'm going to get paid...sounds like a good time though.

    So what did you do TO your NC700 today.

    I just got back from a exploratory ride for a new fishin' spot. The NC is excellent for tooling around back in the brush. Anyway, with the Gov shut down, I haven't much to do...but RIDE! LOL!

    Going to wait for the 2014 or 15 or......

    Colors, adjustable rear shock, i would love to see a full kit bike...A kind of NC700x Explorer version. That last bit may be a little silly or over extending the use of this motorcycle, but with the torquey engine and nice clutch - some knobbies and skid plate would make it not too bad for...

    i'm a little on the large side - 5-11, 300+ lbs... i ride it hard. the way i see it - you have a warranty if needed. i've hit the rev limiter on a couple of occasions and do alot of 65mph + highway riding. the bike just goes and goes.

    First gear clunk question

    I don't have a point of reference on another motorcycle as this is my first, but i will say that the "clunk" is kind of reassuring to me...if not kind of cool! I guess i'm alittle strange...LOL! Besides, it really only "clunks" when at a stop, I don't even notice it when downshifting.

    A couple of questions.

    I really can only speak to #3. I don't watch my mileage - that sort of stuff is lost on me, tighten a chain - I will when needed... Honestly, the purchase was my first so I really don't have much opinion on other bikes. I love mine! I really do! it is easy to ride and alot of fun. i commute to...

    Trying to describe the NC

    I had this question over the weekend...I said its just a regular motorcycle. That took him a minute to digest... "You mean they make a motorcycle that doesn't look like a Harley?" Was his next question. I had to laugh at that one! (I think we may have alittle Cruiser over-saturation here in the...

    New Foot Pegs

    Ok, so blame it on the "New Guy" reasoning, but are Foot Pegs universal? It would seem to me that Foot Pegs should be the same across the board. Is this right or will I have to buy Honda pegs? The reason I ask is that the stock pegs have that little flip up on the end and it is too short of...

    Almost Got Smeared

    a few days ago I was riding in a 4-lane 55mph area, and some lady fiddling with something in her lap(probably her phone) looked right at me and then pulled out in front of me! Thank God I had this kind of hunch she was going to do that...anyway I went from 55mph/6th gear to >20mph/2nd gear very...

    Reactions from your riding friends/general public?

    I get alot of looks when i stop at a light, someone stopped me at Walmart and we talked for about 20 minutes about motorcycles. Anyway, I've gotten nothing but positive feedback. I was thinking about going to "Bike Night" at the local wateringhole. Anyway, most everyone digs it and have said...

    Helmet disorienting

    Its hard to describe...I come to a stop and it feels like i'm constantly falling over...and i feel like i stopped and put my foot down but still moving. The other thing is taking off from a stop, i over rev it and have a hard time with the friction zone... like i said, its hard to describe. I...

    Helmet disorienting

    So I started with a Scorpion half-helmet and that made the wind noise unbearable, so I went out today and bought a Fulmer full face helmet. I went out for a quick ride to try it out and I find it very disorienting...has anyone else had this problem? Or is it a matter of getting used to it?
