Re: NH Motorcycle Exam

Oh wow, yeah the test wasn't bad I passed. The weaving thru cones wasn't as bad as I thought the hardest for me was the u turn I hit some of the yellow. I got docked on the braking suddenly part.. Something about they measure speed and stopping but it was hard for me to get up to a good speed and b...

Re: gas cap problems

At least yours works. On our very first fill up we put the cap on the foot board while filling it up but it fell off and started to roll on the pavement. I reached down to pick it up and a lady in a SUV who was in a real hurry came within inches of clipping me, hit my hand with her running board, a...

Re: 'Hello' said the new guy

Hi kramnala, Yep, I'm in BC. I would say most of the hills around here are not considered steep unless you're on a 50cc. I'm sure it will all change to medium grade on a 150. :D Cheap Ride, That sounds great and reassuring. As previously stated, the one hill that bothers me the the most is the one ...

Mine is a bit "sticky" also. I just live with it. I would rather have a tight seal then a loose cap.

Re: 'Hello' said the new guy

I have to tackle a long steep hill on my way to work everyday. I go into it about 45 mph. While going up the hill I can accelerate to 55 mph if I need to pass or just keep up. I am 5'10 186 lbs. The hill would be about three to four city blocks long. I see no issue with what you have described with ...

Re: NH Motorcycle Exam

Im so old that when I took the MSC it was free. We rode small 125 enduro type bikes. Lots of what we did was weave thru cones, avoiding obsticals, accellerating to 35 mph and locking up the rear brake (shortest stopping distance ) and we even had to run over a piece of wood for a simulation. The cou...

I would have never thought it would be totaled. You must have been traveling faster than I thought. Hopefully you will get settled quickly and be riding soon.

Re: GIVI D322 vs D322ST windscreens?

I've read a lot of posts on windscreens, so I apologize if this was answered somewhere else, but I seem to get conflicting information. Can someone tell me the size of each one and how much higher they are from the standard? Does the smaller of the two, the D322ST come in smoke or is it just clear?...

My cheap alternative to GPS.

Seeing that I dont own a gps and have always used my phone to get me out of a jam I wanted a cheap alternative to having a gps on my bike in the event I get lost and need directions. The other advantage is an accurate speedometer. I now know that my bike says I am going 2 mph faster than what I real...

Re: Went for the red PCX!

The parking brake can be finicky, read the manual and try it a few times. My dealer showed it to me and struggled making it work before I purchased mine. I dont use it so I cant give you any of my experiences. If you want to save the $136.00 for the oil change, there is a section called "how to...

Re: Best Place 4 2011 PCX 150cc After-Market Upgrades / Cust

Same here. To the OP, I would do a little research as to what you purchased and the year it was made before ordering any trinkets.

Re: Best Place 4 2011 PCX 150cc After-Market Upgrades / Cust

Look at the vendor section of this site. I have had good luck with Bikerz Bits and saved a bit of $ too. Someone more knowlegable can correct me here, but I dont think the 150 came out until the 2012 model year. I don't think the 150 was made in that year either. Maybe some unscrupulous dealer reba...

Re: Forza talk.

Not mine, I dont want one. Just showing a pic of tricked out Forza. The exhaust alone is almost 700 dollars. The headlights are close to 500 dollars. Even the foot pegs and foot rest plates are over 100 dollars.

It does look a bit better in white then that gawd awful red..
