PCX 150 v. McDonald's drive-thru: (scooter > motorcycle)

Post by GatorGreg »

It's times like these that I'm glad I have a scooter instead of a motorcycle :)

Excellent and why we keep em around, yes I tend to squid on scooter runs for the wife. Loaf of bread, milk or when I'm out of mikes hard lemonade. If I could eat McDonalds there is one every 3 blocks and it wouldn't take me 4 minutes to get there LOL.

Might be tougher for a Burgman 400 or one of those bigger scoots! And super easy on a Grom, although storage is an issue there.

I've only been through drive through McDonald's maybe a couple of times mostly to grab like an Egg McMuffin on my way to work, but I do go to drive through banks like once a week.

Speaking of pointless videos, my first PCX vid (see below) now has over 1,500 views on YouTube and comes up #9 when you search "Honda PCX 150" :D

If you add "review" or "test" to the search it comes up in the top 5 - so I guess this means I'm famous now - woohoo! :D

A few years back, I did a blog comparing my experiences at local drive-thrus. Can't seem to find it, but if you feel like dredging through my blog, that's fine. hah!

woop, found it...now this was back in 2008...I think I still had my Yamaha Vino at the time.

There doesn't have to be a point...it's on the Internet...That's kinda part of the deal: people sharing experiences. It may not interest you, but I'm sure there are people out there that find it at least a little interesting.

Interesting read - thanks! Weird that your McDonald's drive-thru sensor picked up your old Vino but mine doesn't pick up my PCX :D

had the same thought last night when i re read the blog post. It may also be that since all the McDonald's franchises I've been to have video cameras, they may just be paying attention to the monitors.

:D tbln makes a good point but fortunately for me the food doesn't stay under the seat long enough for the smell to permanently permeate the plastics that I've noticed. That said, I personally wouldn't complain if my scooter smelled like McDonald's french fries - I love their fries! I know they're bad for me so I've been going more often to a Subway - slightly more healthy and less smelly :D

It's over 2,000 views now and seems to be growing at an exponentially faster rate - soon I'll be able to retire off my YouTube earnings and ride around on my PCX all day :D
