Can you tell me how you carry water on your PCX 150? I hope to carry it on the handle bars, maybe 12 oz with more stored on the scooter. Thanks for your help. Ride safe my friends.

I keep a waterbottle under the seat, or keep a water bladder in my tunnel bag for long rides. Tunnel bag thread: http://www.hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=913

The tunnel bag also doubles as a dog seat ;)

Not on my handlebars either (although I do have a bar bottle cage) I prefer to use the "minimal" space on the bars for other stuff.
Here's my rig: basic water bottle, insulated stretch sleeve, clear tubing cut to my needed length (note: must fit containers hole) a flex straw w/cap that came with the orig. bottle's straw, & a mini bungee to secure bottle to petrol lid. Simple. I wear a FF helmet so the flex straw slips under chin area and into mouth. Refill bottle under seat. Cheers! :P

My policy is that if you need water so bad that you can't pull over, then your body needs a rest also, so pull over, get off, and walk around. When we ride we carry water, but we make it a habit to stop and stretch our legs while drinking water. It also helps in the digestion of the water. Time is never so precious that you can't stop to take care of your body.

I did similar to maddiedog,
I purchased a cooler bag from walmart, cut the strap and added a quick disconnect buckle.
I raise the seat, buckle the cooler, close the seat and have 6 bottles of water handy. (or Mtn Dews).
While I agree with Mel, I have on occasion, while riding in isolated areas, still broke that advice.

That's handy. I added one to my Amazon wishlist, I commute often on my PCX and always am frustrated by my lack of coffee -- it's too hot to drink immediately after brewing, and I don't want to wait 30 minutes before leaving as it cools. :lol:
