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.
Maybe a motorcycle forum is not the best place to ask, but does anyone have problems with dogs while riding a scooter or bicycle on rural roads? I am often being charged by dogs coming from rural houses when riding rural roads on the motorcycle, but I can outrun or outsmart them if I’m paying...
Yesterday evening I was out on the property, and I happened to spot an 8 x 40mm 1.25 pitch stainless steel socket head cap screw in the middle of the driveway. This looks like a rather important fasterner that likely fell out of one of our toys or yard equipment. So, today’s job is to go through...

Today I rode 50.4 miles on the ol’ 1975 Schwinn. The weather was 65*F with winds 5-10 mph. Yeah, I know it’s not a motorcycle but I’m doing the bicycle thing for a few weeks. Are any forum members regular bicycle riders?
I bought a new, old stock helmet for the spare parts: pads, faceshield, and hardware. It was a good price just for that purpose. The helmet shell is an ugly pattern and color, so I was just going to discard it. Then I thought maybe I could paint it to match my bike or at least something more...
I see that powersports.honda.com is showing the 2023 NC750X for the USA market, in DCT version only, hinting that a manual transmission model may not be imported to the U.S.. Matte Nightshade Blue, a not seen before color, seems to be the only choice. Primary specs and body style appear...
Many of you that have visited the forum for awhile will have undoubtedly seen helpful posts from very long time forum member “showkey”. showkey is probably best known for his “showkey mod”, for raising the front of the NCX seat to improve comfort. showkey had moderator status and duty on...
Warning and spoiler alert: if you don’t like descriptions or photos of crashed motorcycles or crash victims, do not read this post.
Today I was riding my NCX in a scenic area near the Mississippi River. It was a Saturday, so I did see a large number of motorcycles out.
I rode about 200 miles...
First, the history: Back in May, 2013, on a still fairly new NC700X, I happenened on the Blue Ridge Parkway after gassing up at Cherokee, North Carolina, USA. I was heading northeast as far as I could go in the daylight available. As I rode at a leisurely legal pace, I realized based on the...
Two years ago, I crossed a bridge riding the NC over the Ohio River in southern Illinois, US Highway 45. That bridge ride scared me so badly I refused to return back over it. I went out of my way to avoid it on the return trip.
I pride myself on being able to safely handle surfaces like sand...
!! Cancelled. !!
Old timers on the forum would know that the group has historically held a motorcycle gathering in the Smoky Mountains area of western Tennessee/eastern North Carolina (USA) in mid to late may. The group that shows up ranges from around 10 to 20 people, some on NCs and some on...
I have a pair of Alpinestars Roam 2 boots labeled as "waterproof". They may have been semi-waterproof at one time, but they might as well now be perforated sponges is a heavy rain. Water gets inside freely, but cannot get back outside, which is a recipe for severely wrinkled feet by the end of...
I just did a valve clearance check on my car’s 1600cc in line four engine. It is built somewhat like a motorcycle engine. If I remember right, Yamaha was partly involved in the early version of this engine design. Anyway, the double overhead cams actuate tappets directly. There are no rockers...
At 137,000 miles, 13,000 miles early, I decided to change the DCT oil, in my car. It was a bit difficult to reach the drain and fill plugs, but with the car raised off the ground and the left wheel removed, I got it done. It uses only 2 quarts but the oil sells for almost $20/quart.
I sure...
The Honda maintenance schedule for the NC recommends air filter replacement at 12,000 miles. I do mine at 24,000 miles, no sooner. The NC air filter area looks very large, to me, compared to other vehicles. I compared an NC filter to a Dodge V6 3604cc engine’s air filter. The NC filter measures...
