Re: What topbox do you have

I have a Givi E340 Vision (34 litre) on mine with the obligatory mount and plate kit.
Mine was dealer fitted at the right price to keep me happy.

Re: New toy!

Sweet ride. Congrats on the new addition.

I know what you mean about it popping the front wheel up, I had a go on a mates super moto'd 125, it's harder to keep the front wheel down than up! :lol:

Re: nearly came off again tonight, wheel slipped again. no b

I agree with everything said about Winter riding, I've been riding a long time and still occasionally get caught out by unforeseen hazards. I would add one thing to everything said. Check your PCX regularly, it may seem trivial but even a small thing missed can cause problems while riding. Important...

Re: Weather report

Good Morning, Last night was a beautiful and clear, by 7am this morning the mercury was bottomed out at 19f (-7C) o_O That's the coldest it's been for a while round here. I am not riding at all today, there'll be loads of black ice about all day - simply not worth the risk on either my scoots or Mou...

Diesel + Road + Darkness = Off into the scenery

Well it had to happen sooner or later. :oops: My usual commute to work has a lovely stretch of back road for about a mile with a lovely smooth tarmacced "s" bend in it. In the dry you can rail round it at 40mph easily, in the damp I take my time - Even more so after yesterday - A local rec...

Re: Sym Jet 100

I would love to paint the plastics with Bed Liner but it's pretty much a specialist coating and impossible to find in the UK for less than £25 for a small aerosol. :cry:

Re: Sym Jet 100

As you can see from the photos it's not in the best shape cosmetically wise but from a mechanical and mileage point of view it's spot on. I had the exhaust to bits just before the photos - someone had packed in loads of rockwool far too tightly making the silencer more like a through pipe :roll: - T...

Re: Sym Jet 100

I am going to try and post some photos of Ratty today as it isn't raining or horribly cold today. Also going to try and remove the exhaust and see if it is as badly coked as it seems. It may also need de-restricting as apparently Technigas exhausts are usually "washered up" to passed Euro ...

Re: Alleykat's PCX - Houston,TX

This is going to be an EPIC build once you finally finish it. :D :D
How's the exhaust going to be routed? Are you wrapping it up past the seat and out below the rear light or some other way?? Enquiring minds wish (and are begging) to know. ;)

Re: Not such a good start to the New Year!

Not good mate, glad you're okay and that your PCX has only suffered cosmetic damage. Shopping about on Ebay or asking your local dealer(s) how much is a good start. (I'm scared that me and my PCX will end on our respective arses at some point with black ice which is why I got my cheap little ratter ...

Re: Windy again

Hope when I get back to work tomorrow every window has been blown in so I get sent home. :D

We were lucky in the North East of England gusts only reached 50mph - and that's bad enough.

Happy New Year

For last year's words belong to last year's language,
And next year's words await another voice,
And to make an end is to make a beginning.

Danny Hart is pretty damn good - He was one of 2 Brits to take home gold medals.
This year it was in Champery Switzerland, next year it's at Fort William in Scotland. It should be totally awesome.

Re: Sym Jet 100

Well, A couple of small developments with Ratty. The front tyre isn't holding air properly overnight it drops from 36psi to 8 o_O There isn't a puncture in the tyre and the valve is fine so the only conclusion I can think of is the rim and tyre aren't perfectly sealed and air is bleeding out slowly ...

It'll be nice to see it all finished and looking shiny and fresh.

Re: Android or iOS ?

I've stuck with a Nokia N8 this time round.

The Camera is a Carl Zeiss lensed 12m pixel and the software is Symbian

I know it's not as flash as an iPhone or an Android based machine but it is very reliable, you can get loads of Apps for it and the battery lasts at least 3 days between charges :D
