Re: Motorcycle Helmets

Wanted a White Multitec but got an awesome deal on a black one so went with that instead.
£240 GBP / 11,400 THB. It was brand new in the box. Just couldn't get a better deal if i'd tried. Snapped it up :)

Re: Motorcycle Helmets

Nice looking lid. Definitely not my style though. I like flip front lids as they are easier to put on with glasses. I was using a Caberg Justissimo but have recently upgraded to a Shoei Multitec :) Only other lid I use is a Davida open-face but now I have a PCX I've made a promise to myself to be mo...

May do in the future but for now I have spent enough. Gotta watch those pennies now.
However, if my Vespa sells in the new year (which i'm hoping it will) I will certainly look at an after market exhaust.

Re: My Black PCX _ Trawlerman

Love the cargo box. Got one similar to that one but from SHAD. This is the Givi E370 with the smoked reflectors to match the look of the PCX. I also fitted a stop light kit to this box so the central panel above the lock lights up with the brakes. Since these photo's i've also added: Adjustable Bra...

Re: Quick caravan clips from 10th December 2012

Great vids man. I wish scooter clubs were more like this in the UK.

I just left my local club because they are too bigoted and blinkered to accept that there is interest in anything but Lambretta and Vespa. I am an outcast :lol: although I do still have a Vespa ;)

Re: Learnt a few things .........

Got some stainless steel ones from VE Spares UK. They are embossed with a flame design. I looked around for the ones with PCX on them but didn't find what I wanted at the time.

Re: Cleaning .....

Just finished cleaning mine. Took me an hour or so but she's gleaming now. I must say that she looks even better than when she was delivered :D A good wash down and a shampooing with TurtleWax followed by a good polish with a detailing mitt. Finished off with a liberal dosing of ACF-50 around the fo...

Re: It's official

The only complaint? No armour at the knuckles Nine times out of ten your hand will contact the ground palm side down. Hence why I'm not unduly worried about not having knuckle armour. My regular gloves have decent coverage of leather on the palm and those Scaphoid protection doo-dah's too. No matte...

Learnt a few things .........

First off I found out that some of the components are interchangeable with those from the CBR - such as grips obviously but also brake levers and many other small parts. Also the ESP edition is quite different to the standard edition. The exhaust manifold is slightly relocated so my new Yoshimura pi...

Looks really smart with the black PCX. It's almost HR Geiger inspired ie Alien.

Re: w5w cree led bulb

How did you get those to fit? I bought some the same with the metal shrouds and they wouldn't fit through the opening?

I eventually bought another set of LEDs with the same profile as the original filament bulbs which fitted 100%

Motorcycles and docklands don't mix. I take mine on the riverfront all the time and am always wary of this happening. What a nightmare!

Re: givi screen wind buffeting on helmet

Maybe it's shutting the stable door after the horses have bolted but, have you considered a spoiler? It's basically a small extension that can be raised or lowered to suit and the angle adjusted for desired airflow. A simple addition that could mean a world of difference. http://www.twistedthrottle....

Re: My Black PCX _ Trawlerman

@BlackBandit Thats's the bridge over the River Humber. At one time it was the longest single span suspension bridge in the world. It's located in the North Eastern part of the UK about 200miles north of London. As you can guess, it's quite an attractive location for visitors and tourists. I often ta...
