That's pretty good and worth 8 minutes of my life.
1. I've seen that narrating dude before but don't know who he is.
2. They made comments about rubbery, Cadillac-like handling but I was riding mine in the Rockies, sometimes two-up, and it handled fine for me, no complaints.
3. Everything about how car-like and maintenance-free it is is all true; they got that spot on.
4. It made me wonder why I sold it on before I came back home.
Thanks!

The iconic and legendary Pacific Coast!! :thumb: :bow: :cool: :smiley:
I never rode or owned one, but I have read that they STILL have a "Cult-like following", even today!

I nearly purchased one before I got my EV. The EV was cheaper.

Great under seat storage IIRC. :thumb:

He has all kinds of interesting MC/Tech video blogs. Not sure of his name but his You Tube Moniker is Fort Nine. Coolest Nerd on the Internet....

I owned one a few years ago and enjoyed it. Kind of. Easy to carry stuff in the trunk. Pretty comfortable. Stable on the highway up to 80 mph. A real chore to pull all the plastic off it to service the carbs. I think that's when I decided to unload it. All in all, it was like a large Yamaha Vino with 5 speed and better top speed.

Ryan Kluftinger is based in Vancouver, you often see shots from around the city. He works with a Video guy who's name escapes me at the moment.
Just the two of them I think.
The company he works for FortNine is based in Quebec, Montreal I think, he connected with them when he attended McGill University
Here's an interview where he talks about getting started.

Been watching that Fortnine guy for a long time. His production value continues to improve. He is ready for Prime Time.
I like many features if the PC800, especially the trunk.
That is probably what electric bikes should look like, but with even more aerodynamics.
Enlarge front fender into a dustbin and add a huge tailfin trunk.

I rode one a bit back in the day when they were new.. Frankly their biggest flaw was that they had no flaws!! AMAZING commuter bike. Tons of storage. Started, stopped, went around corners.. It did everything great... but it didnt feel like a motorcycle.. Styling was a bit too... "melted milk jug".. [though I did love the red ones!] Too smooth... no hiccups... nothing... Can greatness be bland?? If you had a 200 mile commute, and rode solo, and rode in all weather... It was a great bike.. A first choice for going out on a nice day and becoming one with the world and machine... not really.. the soul kinda left me flat.
