Beach Bashing on a rainy day

Post by Black Bandit »

date: 24 Dec 2012
location: Southern Thailand
bike: PCX 150

Awesome beach bashing with fellow member Ragnadan. Too bad the bikes ain't motorcross bikes, but as you can see, the PCX can do almost everything!

Very loose and deep wet sand along the Samila Shore in Songkhla Province, South Thailand. It had been raining all day long non stop and we were absolutely drenched from head to toe. But the bikes stood their ground and got us through the day!

That looks awesome! :D

I need to mount a camera on my PCX for some of the rides I take it on.

I wish we had a big club around here like you do in Thailand -- there are hardly any PCX riders in the USA!

The USA MSRP is $3449 + $310 destination charge + dealer fees: http://powersports.honda.com/2013/pcx.aspx

That's probably a lot of it. The PCX isn't a cheap bike.

Depends on which market you're in.
