The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Yep, understood.
With no tachometer or shift lever, it's a matter of listening to the engine and sensing the vibrations.
Very Jedi ...

Thanks, Hawk.
Tom, that sounds like excellent performance at 50!

That sounds great! You are really making the most of your Honda.
So you've not found it necessary to trickle charge, even in winter?
Most excellent.

What would you guess to be the most gas-efficient speed for a PCX 150 on flat ground with no wind? Would a team of PCX riders be able to achieve even better gas mileage than a single rider, if they were able to efficiently operate at this speed, sharing turns at the front of the formation and benefi...

Very helpful, Rob, thank you!
You riding and enjoying that bad boy bike??

Looks great!
Welcome!

Ha! Good point, Tex.

NICE, Dustin!
Hey ... I find that I can get the scooter up on the center stand just putting my weight on the center stand footpeg thingie. No real need to grip the grab bar.
Nice luggage!!

A local news story brought this one to mind -- Bimbo, a regional baking company.

Watching episodes of "Long Way Round" last night sure drove home the point that the huge BMW adventure bikes, fully laden, are just not the easiest way to navigate deep sand or bog ... not for the average Joe/Jane rider.
At the same time, several coworkers ride them on pavement.

Ahhh, but the space hopper does offer practical crap transport -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_toilet

Flatley Wonderful!!

I am drawn to great marketing images, I admit it. Even though I am WAAAAY out of the demographic sought by Red Bull beverages, I really like their logo and their association with some exciting motor sports. However ... if someone even opens a can of the stuff in my general vicinity, the smell makes ...

Got it, thank you!

... For my next scooter the current shortlist is Yamaha Xmax 250, Honda Forza 300 and Yamaha Majesty 400. There's plenty time for me to decide, I won't be changing for a year or so. Much depends what's on the second hand market at the time, I doubt I would buy new again. The Daily Mail reports you ...

Here's a site with many interesting reflective stickers!

This PIAA horn interests me -- https://www.denniskirk.com/214978.sku?u ... medium=cse

115db would be NICE!

Nice find!
I like the adjusters at the elbow ... keeps the armor in place.
