Re: PCX Replacements
I just pulled up that link to the Chinese bike graveyard. Wow! I remember wanting a bike when I was a kid. I remember organizations taking good parts off of bad bikes (usually broken frames) and making new ones for those who did not have one. I remember getting one of those freshly painted rebuilt ...

Re: Naked-Tail Street Fighter PCX150, Love it? Hate It?
1) How can I tell if I like the way it looks if I can't find anything to look at? No pic at all? 2) I think if you want a naked bike you might be better served to get one that has been designed to go naked. The PCX is dressed for several reasons that I can think of: 1) To protect its delicate innard...

Re: Touring...NAKED!
I'm not picturing your problem here. Why would you need to strip the bike of its aerodynamic cladding so that you can hang saddlebags on it? I can think of one and only one advantage to this procedure: No one will steal your ride. In fact, no one will even think of stealing it. And...you will have a...

Re: PCX Replacements
In Brighton (the city nearest to me) and London, the situation is smoewhat different. The maintenance and servicing of the bikes is paramount. I know the local company with the contract for hire bike maintenance and they take it very seriously indeed. The success of these schemes depends upon it, a...

Re: Changing tires, what are the options?
I changed my own tires the last time. I asked a shop about it--they had done it before for 20$ a tire--and they quoted me 50$. I complained. They said that was the only way they could make money on the deal ( it was a small shop too and as far as I know they don't sell tires there). Anyway, I used l...

Re: PCX Replacements
I have done a little research on these bikes. The reviews are mixed. People like the idea and when things go according to the plan users are happy with the results. But what happens when you find a bike that has been dinged up someway so that it is hard to ride? I mean, some folks ride these things ...

PCX Replacements
A few days ago riding, and driving, through my 150,000 population city in the middle of the mid-west, what do I see but a west coast phenomenon all over the place, namely LIMEBIKES! Limebike is a company that rents bikes, and now ebikes and escooters, on a phone-based basis that, according to Limebi...

Re: the real key to riding in the snow
If I drive into a snow bank, I am driving too fast or following too close, for road conditions. Practicing stops in a parking lot on my bike - is not in the same room as a spectacularly sudden vehicle across my riding path. I do understand that we have absolutely no ability to change the others bel...

Re: the real key to riding in the snow
During the winter I'm riding on Heidenau K66 snowtex which is a german manufactured motorcycle specific winter tire available in our sizes. It is great on snow and when damp or icy, but on cold dry surface tge Michelin city grips are hands down more confidence inspiring. I have two sets o' wheels w...

the real key to riding in the snow
I came across this video which surprised me. I had not known that it was possible to ride on roads in this condition with this much security and ease. If I had ever tried this on my PCX I would have lasted about 8 nanoseconds. Anyway, it's the tires that save the day. If I should get snow tires for ...

Re: Seniors & shingles
Well I just got my first of two Shingles shots. My doctor was nice enough to let me know that if you have a compromised immune system you are urged to get the new ones. I had the vaccine 10 years ago but my doctor warned me that it was no longer good. Do whatever you want but I have Leukemia so i a...
