NC700 evolved from the Super Cub

[Beemerphile]

From a previous trip report... I went by the Piper Museum and former Cub plant in Lock Haven, PA on a trip a couple of years ago...



I have always wanted a fixer-upper Piper Aztec. This one might be in my price range. My uncle taught me to fly in his PA-23 many years ago...



The L-4 Grasshopper (aka Army Cub)

The first Honda I owned was the 1963 CB160. I bought it used in 1964 with less than 300 miles on it. It had been in an accident, and the forks were bent. I had rented a Honda Cub a few times at the beach in Galveston, to play in the sand with. I had done my best to destroy the rented Cub playing at the beach, but just could not stop the tough little bike. So, I purchased the CB160, straighted the forks, and my adventures with Hondas begain. I can still remember my grandfather's harassment about buying that "Cheap Japanese Junk".

It's a pretty long stretch to link the original Cub to the NC.

One could even argue that the NC700 evolved from Gottlieb Daimler's contraption.

Where can I get a set of those training wheels?

No, more like a Stanley Roper.

Apologies to Carl Sagan, but to make a motorcycle from scratch, you have to first create the universe.

How does one create a universe from scratch?

It's a God thing (unless you are into Big Bang theories and such)

Not "a universe"... apple pie (or motorcycle) from scratch....

The big difference between the Cub and the NC has to be the seat!!

It looks like one could ride for a while on the Cub's seat!!

God bless!!
