Anyone got a Caberg Duke Helmet? Does it fit?

Hi mate

I have a size medium duke and no it does not fit in the underseat storage of the pcx.

I think only small shell full face or open face helmets fit. The duke has a pretty big outer shell size.

What in particular should one look for on the fork tubes? I've never paid any extra attention to them actually and am now worried I'm overseeing something potentially damaging.

Hi mate I'm in London and severely short on real estate as you can imagine! At home my PCX stays parked on the road with a cheapo cover from Argos over it. At work I leave it parked in the NCP in the city which has its bike bays exposed to the elements. Been like this for well over year now and have...

Thinking of buying PCX125

I'm relatively new to scooters too. Had my pcx for a little under a year now. Commute 20 miles everyday through everything but snow and ice. Never had a problem with it to date. I bought mine brand new and its coming up to its second service now. It's a great runner, like you say it's a very smooth ...

Bus lanes

In London bikes are only allowed on the red route lanes not all bus lanes. Usually on entry to the bus lane a sign will show the motorbike symbol if allowed.

Hi Barljo Well I'm glad to say my right turns have gotten a lot better. They're right in saying it gets easier with practice. Just make sure your focus on your destination around the corner and not the immediate piece of road in front Of you. I've been doing my 16 mile round trip commute for about 2...

Hello everyone So I have done my first commute and it went pretty OK. The morning commute wasn't too bad as I left earlier than normal to beat the mad rush into the city. The evening commute home was slightly unnerving. Im still not fully confident in my filtering skills. So I ended up queueing at j...

Cheers for the pointers guys. I've been driving for almost 12 years now and assumed my road awareness was pretty spot on. Boy was I wrong! On two wheels it's so much different. My senses were overloaded what with the sounds you're exposed to and the vulnerability of being so small compared to the re...

Hi TC3 I lived in east finchley for a while so not too far from Colindale. My ride home the day I picked up the bike was scary to say the least. Bought it from Motoden in Hackney so it was a 5mile trip during the school run. Must say it opened my eyes to the presence of inpatient drivers and pedestr...
