A few people have been scammed on the site, Only use paypal to pay for items for sale by other members. If they will not use paypal, its likely a scam NEVER SEND E-TRANSFERS OF ANY KIND.
Bill is a good sport and took our ribbing with a big smile. We've all stayed in touch since the event and hope to ride together again. We've been doing some follow-up conversations via video conference. A fair amount of behind the scenes commentary and deeper insights than the short official...
I really liked riding the DCT. If I were buying the bike and they were the same price I would definitely get it over the standard transmission. Here in the US the DCT is a $2,000 uptick. That's a big increase on a $7,000 bike. For a budget buyer it might be tough to justify, especially without a...
It was huge fun. Yes, Cycle World put the call out to their advertisers and several stepped up with some great riding gear. I got a new Tour Master jacket, boots, pants, and gloves. Plus a top-of-the-line helmet from HJC. Awesome stuff. The riding was great and most of the time we had a camera...

This is the fuel mileage challenge. Interesting results.

I saw the Twisted Throttle NC700X project bike yesterday at the International Motorcycle Show in San Mateo, California. It looks great up close. Very nicely done.
I recommend Adventure MotoStuff as well. They are local to me and are great folks; very knowledgeable. Earlier this year I bought a new helmet, boots, some body armor, and a GPS mount from them. Very satisfied with all of my purchases.

Thanks. I think this community probably has enough expertise to answer any questions about the NC700X without my help. But I figured a few might be interested in the Cycle World challenge event and I'm happy to talk about that as much as I can. I've been intrigued by the bike since I first heard...

Howdy from the high desert
Howdy-
Just joined the forum today. I'm J. Brandon and I live in the high desert of Northern Nevada, near Lake Tahoe, in the western US. Lots of great riding all around here. I think the Sierra passes are some of the most beautiful roads on the planet.
I don't...
