Re: Mistakes whilst riding.

We all make mistakes, that is normal. Thats why we need to be aware of it and try to avoid them, the moment we think we are immortal we get stupid and dangerous. I think that the woman indicating wrongly would be a contributing factor in court case and that you would have good chances given you had ...

Re: Black PCX on the way

Cheers Taz, great idea. Don't have the PCX at home yet so don't know a thing about twisting handlebars and turning mirrors yet. Does any of the mirrors have a reverse thread? Might put some other mirrors on it if I don't adapt to these, but will wait until I see what the extenders bring. I also got ...

Re: Black PCX on the way

Why'd you get rid of the F800S? That's a beautiful bike. My local dealer has all sorts of universal fairing-mount mirrors, they're usually used on CBRs, Ninjas, etc, but you could mount them to anything. They might be able to give you some tips on where to find some if they don't have any too. Not ...

Re: Black PCX on the way

Insurance in the UK works differently from other places I have lived at (such as US, Brazil and Germany). Over here it is not really the vehicle that is insured, but the driver/rider operating that vehicle. Hence if I have insurance for one bike it doesn't automatically transfer to another one, unle...

Re: Black PCX on the way

What an inspiring look that Vespa :D Yep, those fairing mounted PCX ones are the mirrors I fancy, tried to find and order them on line but failed miserably to locate them; looks like they come out of Indonesia or Singapore. I went on a shopping spree yesterday inspired by my new acquisition and got ...

Re: Came off

Yep, with time you learn to scan the road surface for hazards, to look and plan ahead so that you don't have to brake hard and if so, to do emergency stops giving time for the weight to switch. Oil on wet road is sod's law though... I ordered a new black PCX today but don't want to hijack this thre...

Black PCX on the way

Re: Came off

Hello, sorry my first post on here is answering in a thread when somebody came off, but my first question about the PCX would be related to it. Some background info: I am coming from the big bikes, I had a Suzuki Bandit 600 and a BMW F800S so far but sold them (need cash for a house...). As the GF p...
