Re: Hi~ I'm living in Seoul South Korea

That was a great post!

I was inspired and I showed my wife how cool a camping trip could be with just the scoot.

Thanks!

Re: PCX or fly 150? MP3?

Thanks for the story!

I like these sorts of details and you guys are the reason I am really enjoying this site.

I just need to wait for my chance to make the PCX 150 my own! It will come.

Meantime I will post pics of things on my end this week.

Re: PCX or fly 150? MP3?

Guys, I hear and understand, and I want a PCX for all those same reasons- Don't get me wrong. However, since the wife and I barely qualify for "lower middle class" I am going to jump at the BV-250. $2500 vs $4000 -easy choice It fit me great, has been dealer maintained, and hardly used. An...

Re: PCX or fly 150? MP3?

2400 miles on it, I will be checking it out tomorrow and I will report on my findings.

It has to be a good fit. If it fits me better then the PCX then I will have another dilemma.

Nice! That is a great price, perhaps I should point my honda dealer towards this site! Lowest I have been quoted is 4045.00 OTD.

PCX or fly 150? MP3?

Ok guys, the money is gathering and I have come down to this. I could get a slightly used Piaggio MP3-250, OR a Fly 150 or the PCX for all about the same money. [@4000.00] HELP! Now, the Mp3 has some known issues but for the same money I'd be getting another 100cc. I sat on the fly 150 [after sittin...

Re: How Did YOU Come Up With Your PCX Name ??

State motto of Nevada is "Battle Born" -a somewhat misleading title. But that's where I am and I'm a full blown scooter geek even though I just got my M class licence. It's all scooters all the time at my house these days!

So it seemed fitting. :]

Re: How is the scooter "culture" in your area?

It's a strange mix here in Northern Nevada. This is a BIG biker area, with events and rallies all summer. But I live in Reno which is a pretty small town with a ring road. Weather is perfect for riding here. Everything is a 20 minute ride away. It's a college town, and the University has the majorit...

Re: I did the sit test

Well. A dream denied. Couldn't get things together as I had planned, so the PCX is going to have to wait. This is a big suck, but the plus side is perhaps the Forza release will drop the PCX 150 price a bit, or there will be a slightly used one available when folks opt fot the Forza. As it stands no...

That first bit of road looks like too much fun! I am picking up a 150 and this vid and others like it have given me the assurance that the PCX is the way to go.

Re: I feel naked

I can do the oil change no sweat, but checking the valves will be beyond my ability.

My thoughts are that I will do the initial 600 mi checkup at the dealer and have them check the valves then.

Northern Nevada Riders?

My wife and I are based in Reno, anyone else from the area and would you be interested in a trip?

Looking for like minded scooter folk to have a mellow day of riding around and slacking off.

Re: I did the sit test

Well, I am 6 feet tall, and I have broad shoulders so I expect from things I have read here that I may get a certain amount of buffeting once at speed.

But yeah, not going to worry about it now, just want to ride again! 5 weeks now since my BMS scoot died.....


ARRRGGGGhhhhh! The waiting! :ugeek:
