PCX Christmas Decoration Ideas
My and the PCX will be taking part in a Christmas Charity fundraising event. Raising money for Zoë's Place Baby Hospice (http://zoes-place.org.uk/middlesbrough/)
For the event hundreds of bikers gather dressed as Santa and ride through the towns in the area. More info http://www.boundary500.co.uk/category/santa-ride-2012/
It's going to be my first time going, but I have been informed that its customary to decorate your bike if you are taking part. So i need ideas! The only one i have had so far is to get a cardboard box about the size of my topbox, wrapping paper ect... and turn it into a Christmas present

Re: PCX Christmas Decoration Ideas
Kudos for you doing this for a worthwhile charity.
Only idea I can think of so far is get some toilet roll cardboard inserts wrap them up as Christmas Crackers, unwind your wing mirrors and have the crackers threaded over the stem and rebolt the mirrors....
Two Christmas Crackers with your wing mirrors sticking out the tops still for visibility.

Re: PCX Christmas Decoration Ideas
You may also just find some Christmas Crackers already that would fit, some of the smaller ones, if you are careful enough dissecting them.
Be great around Xmas time if you could post pics of it on here all fully decorated up.

A big red nose or antlers would be cool.

Re: PCX Christmas Decoration Ideas
Hah, that's awesome!
I'd put a wreath on the front, hook an inverter to my 12v socket, and wire up a whole bunch of xmas lights draped all over the bike. It might be precarious, but would be totally worth it.

Re: PCX Christmas Decoration Ideas
Christmas past (stock screen). Let it snow! (somewhere else please ) Seen in pic are those "use on glass or any smooth surface" self adhering decals. Bought these at The Dollar Store, but they can be had at Target, Walmart, etc. I'm about to put some Fall leaves on my Givi before fall is over

Re: PCX Christmas Decoration Ideas
Nice snowflakes :-) I think I might go down the lines of snowflakes and presents. It should look better with a simple well done theme than sticking everything Christmas onto the bike :-P

Re: PCX Christmas Decoration Ideas
This is a great idea.
I hope we do something like this over here in the states. At Xmas you may be in 6 inch deep snow here in Illinois (land of Lincoln and Obama-absolutely no comparison there-and a whole bunch of folks who are not smart enough to move south to Atlanta!)

Re: PCX Christmas Decoration Ideas
Well I got the PCX dressed up for the ride
My Wife caught a pic of me as we were going along too
I also got a little write up on this website (though I do work there )
http://www.gbizit.co.uk/community/59-santa-on-a-bike
I think I'm going to leave the snowflakes on, Looks nice and festive
Overall I raised about £60 so far, 195 Riders took part so it should be a good total this year!

Terrific! You and your "Snowy" scoot look great! Yeah, go ahead and leave those flakes on, you'll be noticed more. Congrats on doing a good deed this holiday. I tip my hat to You and the bunch of Santa's that rolled along with ya

Thanks WhiteNoise
In the top box, I have the secret to getting a PCX125 to 70MPH
I've put a few more pics in a gallery on G+

Re: PCX Christmas Decoration Ideas
The new red 150 will be perfect for Xmas bashes! Good effort with your decorations and outfit. The trouble here is xmas is in our summer so not sure on wearing that outfit in 90 degree heat!
