Re: 2-23-2012 Cocoa Beach Scooter Rally

Maddiedog, I am really impressed with your Silverwing. It looks nice. I just heard that Canada got the new Honda Forza 300. I'd love to see that one too!

Re: How long you been riding?

I forgot to tell you that I was 17 and in the military when I purchased my Harley. That was 1964. Who is most experienced?? Does it matter? It is what you learn that counts. I learned about the importance of helmets and gloves by watching in horror as my 12 riding friends, one by one, became zero. I...

Re: Castelli Winter riding gloves

I have 3 places I get most of my gear from, and each has its advantages. Compare their prices and you will be pleased. I got our winter riding gloves at Jackets4bikes.com (http://www.jackets4bikes.com/s-4-scooter.aspx). I got my boots and helmets from Leatherup.com (http://www.leatherup.com/l/Motorc...

Re: Accessories for PCX www.powerbyPCX.com

Woozy-UK, if you need replacement panels for your bike they were cheap for me at bikebandits.com. I think that are a U.S. company so you will have to check with them about shipping. They only show PC 125 parts up to 2011 but they fit my PC 150. Check them out.

Re: Honda PCX - Back from First Ride

I ride with my wife so if I see that she forgot to turn off the blinker, or if she sees that I forgot to, we have a signal to each other. I ride staggered behind her so I honk my horn twice to get her attention, then move my finger in and out to mean signal is on. She does the same for me. With no c...

Re: How long you been riding?

I bought my first bike at 17, a Harley Davidson XLCH. I have ridden off and on ever since then. I have had multiple bikes in my lifetime. I even raced them for a short time but quickly realized that I was dangerous but not crazy, so I gave up the racing for just pleasure riding. I am now 66. I decid...

Re: How-To: Install a windshield

Maddiedog, my wife says her mirrors are a little short and I was thinking about the extender kit you had purchased with your windscreen. Can you post a picture of the kit so that we can see what it looks like and if it might solve some of the view problems.

Re: Today's Quick Pic

It is a labyrinth. Keep in mind where the picture was taken. Notice the bench. That is for those who want to meditate on the sunset. There were quite a few people there just walking without saying a word. California has some great places to do that. We also visited a beautiful forest by the sea up o...

Cable or Satellite for Best Customer satisfaction?

I have been trying to determine for a few years now whether one is better than the other in any respect, and to me it looks like it is customer satisfaction that determines which is best. Either one seems to be intent on screwing the customers, so which is best?

You are lucky to be young. I used to do things like that when I was younger and lived in West Texas. Way back then I had the only Harley XL in west Texas and even flat track raced it. Back then I was wild and thought nothing of driving around New Mexico and all the way to Dallas on a weekend. Then I...

Re: Mirror Stem Extenders

Of course, in Georgia it is hard to tell what is legal and what isn't. I've never been in a state so lacking on traffic enforcement that cars drive around with one or no brake lights and no one cares.

Re: Today's Quick Pic

I guess it's not too late to add a picture. This one was taken while we were walking in a park by the beach in San Francisco a couple of years ago while we were visiting one of our daughters.

Re: Dog thread!

Miss Pearl and Katie were breeding dogs that got retired from the kennel we got our first ones from. They have such mellow personalities that when the owner called us to say she needed to place her 'retired' gals, we jumped at the chance to get them. They had never been in a bed or inside. They hous...

Re: Dog thread!

I have to add my 3 Jack Russell Terriers to the pack. We've been parents to Jack Russells for 20 years now. When one set gets close to its time, we look for others that need a good home. People get these dogs for their kids without checking them out. They don't realize how hyper these dogs are. Our ...

Re: ? for PCX150 owners

Should you desire to buy and ride one, there are a lot of accessories for it because those for the 125 fit the 150 nicely. We purchased one of the custom seats for my wife's 150, which lowered the seat enough that she could no longer put her helmet under the seat. To solve that, we purchased a Givi ...

Now that she has a new windscreen and seat she wants to ride all the time. Too bad the weather is not cooperating. But to answe...

Re: How fast would you want to go on your PCX 125/150?

Yes, but a 150 is sooo much fun! It has power to spare at 60, so doing 70 is somewhat normal for it.

Re: ? for PCX150 owners

Ours can easily cruise at 60 all day, but if I were you I would get a windshield that is worthwhile. The one that comes with the bike is not really a wind anything. Also, the seat is not comfortable for long trips. Otherwise, this scooter is a marvel. I would definitely consider this scooter as one ...

Re: Honda vs Givi Accessories

We looked at a Honda top case and windscreen shortly after we purchased our 150. The dealer didn't have any windscreens in stock for it but the thing would have cost us $300 if they had! Instead I ordered a Givi for $98 delivered. Same difference between the top cases. That should give you an idea o...
