Re: Carrying lugage on rear seat

Yep, this week fizzy water. Next week cola!

Yes, completely stable and secure. I think you shouldn't use bungees alone for heavy loads like this. You should use both static and bungees if possible or static only if thats all you have.

Re: Carrying lugage on rear seat

well i think it would be a bad idea to try carrying this without a rack. sorry, i know this thread started as "how to without a rack", but i gotta saw. you need to get a rack as soon as you buy this bike if you really wanna be utilitarian! so here we have a bad pic of 24 500ml plastic bott...

Re: PCX 150?

most of the main positives have been mentioned about the NC700 have been mentioned. one additional thing that has people so excited is that incredibly cheap price. its A LOT of bike for the money. lets face it, a lot of people on PCX forums are new riders and the NC700 is well placed for people who ...

Re: PCX 150?

if i had a good contact i would ask them. if you want to know anything about Daikin air conditioners i can ask one of their top engineers personally. no contacts at honda unfortunately.

again, you might be right. it would be interesting to find out for sure.

Re: PCX 150?

still not convinced that the restriction has anything to do with EU classes or regulations on this world model bike. So what's your explanation then? the engine isnt designed to cruise at speeds higher than 100kph. other than that still looking for one. its a 124cc bike, if you want to cruise at hi...

Re: PCX 150?

Sorry got my A1 and A2 mixed up. It is a verifiable fact that the PCX is an A1. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/LearnerAndNewDrivers/PracticalTest/DG_178483 Quite why Honda choose to make just one specification of PCX 125 (WW125-EX2A) for the Whole World (another verifiable fact) is a question...

Re: PCX 150?

A 150 cannot meet the European definition of an A2 "Light Motorcycle" which is why the PCX 125 is restricted to 62.5mph. :( are you making an educated assumption on this or is it a verifiable fact? assuming its true, why would it be restricted outside the EU zone? ive always assumed the r...

Re: God damn stupid petrol panic buying retards!

I'm down to one bar and it won't be long before it starts flashing. I'm worried that if I go hunting for petrol there won't be any left at the stations and I won't have enough to get home :x What a bunch of tits. Even if there was going to be a strike (which there isn't, at least until after Easter...

Re: Warm and Safe 90 watt heated jacket on PCX

yeah, this is not for around town riding. this is for fast road distance commuting. i only turn it on when i am running pretty fast. the voltmeter is showing between 13.4-14 volts at speed with it on high. my understanding is that if it starts to show less than 12.8 you are running a deficit and dec...

Warm and Safe 90 watt heated jacket on PCX

so i've been using an aerostich 45w heated jacket on my PCX but it just didnt push enough heat. so i bought a Warm and Safe Gen 4 90 watt jacket for use on my big touring bike primarily. last night i tried it on the PCX with a voltmeter to make sure it wasnt stressing the system too much. based on m...

Re: New PCX top speed???

and a big point is that the speedo is NOT accurate on mine. it is about 10% fast. therefore, i ignore anybody claiming a faster speed than roughly 60MPH or 100KPH without confirming by GPS!

Re: Weather report

got really warm again here for the next few days so no chance to try the heated jacket yet. alternator has a max output of 308 watts from my research so that should be fine for using the jacket at higher speeds if i turn it off when i stop every time. i'm used to doing that anyway as my DRZ has a cr...

glad you are not too injured. keep in mind that sometimes it takes a few days and even weeks for all of the injuries and pains to reveal themselves. dont be too quick to accept a settlement!

Re: Wife getting the biker bug

yeah, i'd definitely go with the FJR over the ST! the FJR has a huge following. the ST, not so much!

I used to have a BMW R1100RT. it was very comfortable but I have now gone to a lighter more efficient touring bike. a F800GS.
