^^^ OH, that looks great, Skuuter!
Yeah, a few decades of being the organizer might be enough for a while.
Love the scooter rally shots!

Re: Keeping PCX 150 from falling over

Can you strap it on both sides somehow--from the handlebars to some structure, like you were transporting it? Wouldn't take much force and straps could be taken off quickly. OOoooo, yeah! How about a couple of Ancra straps from the handlebars, tied to eyelets in a 4 x 8 sheet of medium-weight plywo...

OH ... I'm totally jeaous of your coffee holder. I forget to buy smaller coffees when we're out riding and I wind up wasting them, getting antsy to get back on the road.
(Hmmm ... maybe de-caff is the answer.)

Re: Keeping PCX 150 from falling over

Tie it to the Burgman? :-)

No, seriously, it would sincerely bother me to come home to that.
Trying to level the area sounds difficult and shielding it from the wind might look kinda hokey.
Would this be a good excuse to construct a backyard outbuilding?

Re: Zumo 660 installed

Is there such a thing as a battery operated GPS ? I was about to post that our Garmin Nuvi (automobile version) has an internal battery and it is really not adequate for much use. BUT ... looked at the Garmin web site ... it revealed the Zumo has an internal battery with estimated 7 hours of life v...

Re: Riding double...

Thanks gokidd! I just received my new Honda top case and then realized the lock cylinder was not included, so I'm waiting for that to have the box installed. Eva mentioned she would like to have something to lean back on so it's a surprise accessory for her. Like we need any additional motivation t...

Re: Picked up one of our Forzas...80+ MPH Interstate Cruisin

Hi, Skuuter: I'm interested in the stability of the Forza ridden two-up at highway speed. My wife and I rode the PCX 150 (two-up) on a few miles of freeway this weekend, throttle wide open, and the feeling in the bars was "skittish" at best. Not pleasant for me. Later the same day, I rode ...

Great looking Hondas, Ole!
Looks like you are making good use of them.
Your clear windscreen looks like a great addition to the 1100.
Congrats!

Re: Shorter handlebars or ??

Thank you for posting, Indy.
I want to retain the storage under the saddle, but I need to be able to sit back aft a bit more and lean my body forward.
I like the mods idea.

Re: Shorter handlebars or ??

After another day of riding, I am convinced: the problem for me isn't the handlebars, it's the hump in the seat.
Danggit.
