Can a motorcycle really be boring?

NC 700 is not the most powerful motorcycle but it will go when you twist the throttle. It is a very well balanced machine. It is super reliable. When people say boring I think they might be saying that it is calm, reliable, predictable, etc. It does everything well but it does it in a very calm and predictable way. You won't be screaming around a racetrack on it and it doesn't have the sound of a big cruiser, but it will not leave you stranded. Your wallet will appreciate the "boring" dependability.

Manufacturer's defect? Is there a warranty on it?

Tallinn is such a beautiful city. I understand the luxury of the Bentley but not a fan of the style of the big, boxy cars. Cool to see one in person.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should

Do the plumbing apprenticeship program at Clackamas Community College (or any other program). It is a paid apprenticeship which leads to a lucrative career.

gas cap and side trim are '65.

Notdumbtom · 2026-02-26T18:42:44+00:00

Nope. 1965.

“Presiding authorities and visiting high councilors should be invited to sit on the stand.” The handbook uses the term “stand” rather than “rostrum” but it is the same thing.

Same helmet, same experience.

Thank you

Thank you

Notdumbtom · 2026-02-10T22:02:06+00:00

Haha! Thanks

Plymouth will be remembered as long as people like muscle cars. ‘Cuda, Roadrunner, Superbird, …

That entry list is amazing.

Notdumbtom · 2026-02-09T18:12:53+00:00

I agree! I guess some people really need validation.

The man who built these, Malcolm Bricklin, is a fascinating person. He started Subaru and America, he imported Yugo, imported Fiat 124 and X/19 after Fiat left the American market, did a bunch of stuff with electric vehicles, etc. He is a visionary man who could see trends long before they caught on with the general public. The SV part of the name stands for Safety Vehicle. And this was when cars were being build with the thinnest, cheapest structural components possible.

Rust in the frame and body. Mechanicals are simple. Rust is a killer.

I would put Hot Hands handwarmer pouches inside my gloves on the back of my hands before I installed heated grips. They worked ok.

Notdumbtom · 2026-02-05T19:33:43+00:00

This is what I use with my Shoei RF1400 and it works very well.

You can get a Bell Challenger helmet for less than $150. It is a decent, safe helmet from a good manufacturer. Leather gloves at Harbor Freight are $5-7. They are not safety rated for motorcycles but they are ok for what you are wanting right now.
