Re: Do You Play? An instrument

No, Pono, meaning righteous in the Hawaiian language.
Also, Neil Young's lossless audio player he calls Pono is supposedly as good as analog. He may never get it sold, but it's an invention nonetheless.

Re: Do You Play? An instrument

I bought Decade, a Neil Young greatest hits compilation triple album in 1977 Wonder if there will be one called Half Century? I don't know, but "Long May You Run", dude. Just enjoy your scooter ride on the "Twisted Road", man. "Old Man" [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/...

Re: Hello from Jville

About Ethanol free gas. I have not seen any gas stations where I live that have Ethanol free gas. I'll defer to the Honda experts on this one, but I think you'll be fine with what you find at your favorite filling stations in Florida. Honda has developed multi-fuel motorcycles for Brazil that can ru...

Re: Hello from Jville

Great story! I also had ridden a whole bunch in the late 1960's and early '70's, mostly on my older brother's bikes. As he left his interest in a 60cc Yamaha dual-sport type for some kind of 500cc Honda road bike for later Harley choppers, he let me ride the bikes he felt he had outgrown. I know in ...

Re: Do You Play? An instrument

No, I just play Neil Young recordings. 8)
My daughter, the soon to be motorcycle endorsed licensed rider, is fantastic on the electric guitar! She refers to Neil Young, affectionately, as "Uncle Neil". (No relation to Mr. Young, just a mutual respect that my daughter and I share.)

Re: New PCX150 purchase

I'm taking my daughter to motorcycle school so she can get her endorsement. She wants to borrow my new PCX. Part of the reason we recently bought the PCX 150 is that we are a family of four licensed drivers. The teenagers constantly want to borrow the car. We just have the pickup truck and my wife's...

Re: to AVOID on the road

I hate it when I sneeze on the inside of the shield of my helmet. It's bad enough when I see a beautiful girl and I breathe hard in my helmet and I steam up. But it is worse, far worse, when I sneeze a mouth and nose load all over the inside of my otherwise clean, clear shield. I hate when that happ...

Re: Northern Nevada PCX

A few years ago I was driving back to Seattle from Las Vegas in my pickup truck after having worked at a trade show. I had multiple jobs: driver, salesman, and set-up guy at the booth. My favorite part of the job was the drive hauling the trade show booth contents. I love driving through Northern Ne...

Re: How To: Install a Trunk

11. Okay, now time to mount the Monolock base which comes with the trunk. Takes a bit of rigging, but I had decided it was worth it for the Honda plate. 11b. I did a little bit of "fancy" work involving washers and a metal tube, but you can just use the included Givi brackets. I bought th...

"By George, I think you've Got it!" They appear to be twins to me! Nice discovery ;) Thanks for sharing that. Are you getting one (some)? I ordered the EA105 tunnel bag from Amazon, and it arrived yesterday. The red Givi tag hanging from the bag showed it to be a T496. I have not used it ...

Re: Tunnel Bags and Tank Bags

I am quite certain that the saddlebags and the tunnel bag mentioned in this video go by different model names in the UK vs. in the United States. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qfGfp3AG9sw The tunnel bag mentioned as the Givi T496 seems to be the same as the Givi EA105 in...

Re: Riding Tips

To show the effects of the spinning front wheel as a gyroscope to demonstrate press-right-lean-right-go-right counter steering, etc., try this trick: Take a bicycle wheel off the bicycle and hold it in your hands by the quick release axle. First, without spinning the wheel, if you push forward on th...

Re: Replacement Windshield

Indyglow & WhiteNoise thanks for your impressions. I'm still waiting on my D322ST to be shipped and based on your experiences it should be a little more comfortable than the stock version. Most of my riding is at 50mph or below. For the brief periods I will be riding over 50mph I think I can de...

Re: Givi Monokey vs. Monolock on PCX 150 luggage rack

Thanks Because the new metal "Rear Trunk Base 08L70-KZY-910" appears so strong, it would seem at least Honda now has provided the sturdy metal structure upon which to mount plastic trunks. I'm thinking that probably 10kg would be a safe load with this new Honda OEM metal Trunk Base as the ...

Does anyone have a picture of the 2013 Honda Trunk that mounts directly to the Honda Rear Trunk Base 08L70-KZY-910 ?

Re: giving it a sportbike look

I have read from others that the T496 is the same as the EA105, which is available.

The other way to fill in that gap is to develop an enormous belly and let it hang in that space.
