Re: I walked outside and saw this

Heck, have you tried to teach them to ride yet? That way, the leather gloves will keep them from clawing. The only thing I would caution about, though, is you might have to drive out to help them right the scooter if they get into trouble...and besides... Cats are smart. If a dog can do it, a cat wo...

Re: Today's Quick Pic

Lagerhead...Cool Composition!!! Outrageous...Just have to be in the right place at the right time... o_O Thanks for the comment Vagabondman! I have an iPhone too, and use it a lot. These things are awesome when the moment arises, and no camera in sight. But when it comes to trying to capture the sho...

NewToRiding: Now that I have tried to scare you off- to no avail, I have to say: Good for You!!!! And WELCOME to the Club!!! OK, OK, I am overly protective of riders; I personally want to see as many people as possible enjoy this sport, safely, till they are too old to twist a throttle...maybe longe...

Re: Today's Quick Pic

It's so good to see folks taking pictures again. Awhile back I was concerned about photography becoming a lost art. The 35mm cameras and camcorders of yesterday were so bulky and heavy that they were purposely left behind. I regret making that choice myself back then...memories not captured. Kodak ...

Re: Forza talk.

gn2- List on the Honda screen is $139.00 My dealership gives 15% off all purchases/service for those who bought there, so it came to < $160 installed. I would have done the installation myself, but don't have access to any kind of manual, and had no idea of how to do it. A video on PCXs windshield r...

Re: Forza talk.

Taller Screen feedback. The bike is not the same. Better.....much, much better. The ride over to the dealer was cold; on the way back, I had to loosen my jacket, and take off my gloves as I was overheating. The winds have been crazy lately, and I have been thrashed about to the point of being tired ...

Re: Forza talk.

Scuuter- Looking forward to your ride report. My work schedule is such that I won't be able to find time to pick up the taller windshield until late this weekend, so pictures of one installed would be cool. Also of the top case. Question; should I have my dealer install the windscreen, or are they e...

Re: Forza talk.

Will let you know about the taller screen. I haven't ridden it for any long distance, like a 500-miler yet, so don't know if the seat is a couch potatoes dream, or nightmare. Funny, right now, the worst seat I have ever, ever driven in for long distance, which caused serious leg and back cramps was ...

Re: Forza talk.

Thanks for the history. Right after posting that I had a friend tell me about Triumphs having been sold with right shift- Learn something every day. Blackcat54 wanted me to post some impressions of the bike- here goes. I have put a couple of hundred (cruizing) miles on it, and am still learning its ...

Re: Forza talk.

Yea, it's RED alright! There is one good thing about it though; the company I work for has a LOT of employees, and when the bell rings, they scramble for the exits. Streets are packed with revving cars and trucks, people anxious to get home. The 'GLOWING RED' seems to get noticed a LOT, and people l...

Re: Forza talk.

Thanks! I'm OK, didn't dump the bike at all, and learned a lesson that stuck with me from that moment on. Funny, the left brake is linked to both disks; the bike just stopped dead in it tracks, smooth as glass, right there in the middle of the descent. I exploded in laughter! :lol: That didn't happe...

Well...had a humbling moment today... :oops: On the bike for only five minutes, "I can ride anything" ego in control. Road dropped down a steep incline at the back of the bike shop, going out onto the road for the first time, instinct took over and I thrust my right foot quickly over to hi...

Re: Forza talk.

Guys- Thanks for all the great information! I have been following this forum from the moment I found it. Have been an immense fan of the PCX and frankly, other scooters for a while, and have been drooling over having one for a long time. This is my first post (just registered a minute ago), and will...
