Re: New guy here

WhiteNoise, all good possibilities depending on what you're hauling with. That frame cross member under the seat pan would be my preference, except that the tie down points on my rack would cause the straps to rub on the muffler and air cleaner cover. My rack has a wheel chock so I could probably ju...

Re: New guy here

Welcome from another oldie. I’ve been hauling a scooter for the past eight or so years. Sometimes in the back of a pickup truck but more recently on a hitch mounted carrier. I’ve travelled to Florida from Wisconsin, 1350 miles each way with no problems. I also just purchased a 2019 PCX and love it....

Re: New guy here

Thanks for that link. It confirms that most of what I'm doing is good. It also confirms that I'm engaging in a bit of overkill. Wrapping the strap around the grips is very clever-I probably wouldn't have thought of that. I'm using a canyon dancer which accomplish the same thing, but at a higher cost...

Re: New guy here

Hi, thanks. When you tie down the scooter, do find that the small amount of suspension travel allows you to make it secure enough? My understanding is that one should compress the fork only about half way, which is less than 1.5 inches. That's not much. My rack has a fork chock and I will tie down t...

Re: New guy here

Thanks. We debated the subject for a long time before making the purchase. We also considered towing a car, but felt it would alter our travel style. I have high hopes for the PCX as a travel companion.

New guy here

Hi all. I recently bought a 2019 PCX 150 from my local shop. I am really surprised at how much I enjoy riding it around the back roads and in the town where I live in north east U.S. I started riding in the 80's (I'm an old guy) on Suzuki 650's. I went many years without a bike, and then a few years...
