Re: maddiedog admin...where?

I would be fine with signing a "hold harmless" agreement as a condition of joining here. I belong to other forums and haven't heard of anything like this... crazy that the guy who starts the forum should have any concern about participating on that forum. Other forums just ban the offender...

Re: Seats from Thailand

Average hi...

Re: SimCarbon fiber wrap

A friend of mine bought some carbon fiber look duct tape. He taped a couple spars on one of his boats, and it looked good. He was careful about lining up the edges, etc. If all you want is the look, this might be an inexpensive alternative.

Re: NEWS FLASH!!! 2015 US Model reads out in Imperial (UK)

US MPG X 1.17 = Imperial MPG Imperial MPG X .855 = US MPG So, sorry to have to tell you all this, but the MPG ...

Re: New Member, New PCX150 owner

Welcome guys. I've had a motorcycle license for over 45 years - can't imagine having to wait before riding the new scoot. The MSF course is a good way to start - some don't allow scooters, so you can always ride their (shifty) bikes. You'll find that the PCX is a great commuter and a really fun way ...

I think we've all had the "pull back"... when another rider coming at you starts to wave... then realizes you're on a scooter, and pulls the wave back! :lol: :lol: :lol:
