The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

hi guys, anyone like to share what to avoid on the road while having joy ride (i mean riding the PCX)
like; big rocks, sands, oil spills, how about Police.

any experience good or bad.

I've never had trouble with the police.

Obviously, avoid cars and trucks.


Especially in the USA now that it's fall, watch out for wet leaves. Wet leaves or pinestraw on the road can be almost as slick as oil.

Here in the UK avoid the metal manhole covers, also at this time of year the farmers seem to be putting most of their fields onto the roads too!!

here in the UK avoid me, their don't call me mr magoo for nothing

You are in ACT right? Wallabies and kangaroos jumping in front of you in rural areas usually after dark, would ruin your trip.

Avoid bumping into hard objects

Claw hammers.
One fell off a truck, hit the road and bounced past my head a while back.

Entire back bumper of the car in front of me fell off. Ran right over it doing 58 mph on the PCX, no damage whatsoever!

Suicidal rabbits running about the road.

Avoid falling off?

Or as my brother learned, avoid popping wheelies without a helmet at night and then falling off your bike and getting injured and then after the fact claiming the reason you fell off your bike was became of a suicidal rabbit running about the road in order to hide your attempt to pop a wheelie in the dark without a helmet...

(We can joke about it because he's okay.)

Oh my, your brother doesn't sound like the brightest bulb in the box.

I live in Florida USA, the paint for striping the roads here becomes extremely thick from layer after layer and is as slippery as manhole covers when wet.

He's not so bad as all that, let's just say he's had lots of opportunities for "applied learning".

Should maybe be nominated for one of these. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Awards

Wow, this got dark in a hurry. Suppose we can steer this formerly light-hearted conversation away from the hypothetical death of family members?

Hi Keebler! It's okay, these guys just like to have some fun (maybe a wee bit more than one would expect, especially if you are new to the forums). Stick around and you will see what I mean. No harm meant, really
Back to topic, Squirrels. They are nutter than the ones they eat...and to me, just as bad as rabbits. They Go left, Stop! go right, Stop! forward then circle or turn around...what the ? I don't like snakes! Been in my path twice (total surprise). Okay, that's my input Oh yeah, Lions and Tigers and Bears!

Avoid gravity, they leave it everywhere !

So it must be about as bad as here in Phuket/Thailand. Just the potholes are even worse, and the first rain after a longer dry period make the road feel like soft soap.
