Not trying to Ruffle feathers, but...
Why is there a limited amount of posters on this forum!
It's quite obvious that we attract posters from around the Globe, enjoy our scooters, yet only a few members seem to contribute!
We took a website in Michigan started in 2000 and managed it to to almost 50000 members in a matter of 10 years.
Not bashing the Mods, but can't we get get the word out?
BTW, I. Love this forum

Re: Not trying to Ruffle feathers, but...
I enjoy this forum too. This site is a cut above the rest indeed, but lets face it, the PCX has been around for a couple years and I tend to get writers block about what to talk about when it comes to the PCX or motorbikes in general. If Honda would continue to improve upon the PCX with new and exciting stuff that would be great as this would generate some nice things to talk about. A big hopeful would be a bigger engine, beyond the 25cc upgrade from earlier in the year.

Re: Not trying to Ruffle feathers, but...
there are actually quite a lot of awesome things to discuss about the PCX, you just gotta DYI them to find them out.

Just a quick note that I'm going to pick up my PCX125 this weekend. Looking forward to my first ride after getting my learners riding license.

what kind of website was that?
one factor may be that this is a one bike forum, so that kind of limits things.
another factor could be that the PCX is a bike that a lot of people buy as their first bike. as a result a lot of people come and go as they upgrade to a bigger bike in a relatively short time.
a lot of the guys like me that have been here for awhile are more mature riders with more than one bike or at least the PCX is not our first bike.

Re: Not trying to Ruffle feathers, but...
My feathers are ruffled! 
If you google "Honda PCX forum," we're the #1 result. I won't advertise, because this isn't a commercial site -- I pay for and lose money to keep this site up (not much at all though -- I already have the hosting, all I have to pay for is the domain). I have no plans on commercializing it either, because the content on the site is better if it's kept unbiased.
Any lack of posting is simply from a lack of interest. I think haildamage's opinion is dead-on. I love my PCX, but it's certainly not my only bike, and couldn't be. I'll always keep it because I love it for commuting, but I'll always have a larger bike too for highway cruising.

Re: Not trying to Ruffle feathers, but...
Well its a busy time of year for most members just had xmas and the new year where a lot of members are spending time with loved ones,
Please don't forget for a lot of members its the winter season so less bikes are on the road which equals less posts.

You guys are probably dead-on. Our website is outdoor-based with many aspects within.maddiedog wrote:My feathers are ruffled!

I do appreciate the wisdom and effort of all the contributing members (and the Admin!). Seems like a great bunch throughout the ranks. It is a small niche and I enjoy being a part of it!
I might occasionally post some off-topic tidbits of other hobbies of mine, like fishing, scenery, photography, if you guys don't mind. Reading about other parts of the world is also fascinating, especially the fauna and travels within.
We already have one thing in common!

It's cold and wet! 

Re: Not trying to Ruffle feathers, but...
This is certainly a very good forum to belong too. Certainly my PCX is not my only bike (The other being my Deauville) The PCX gets more use as I use it for my local commutre to work (weather permitting, don'tmind getting wetting , don't like getting drowned)
This site does have useful contributions, postings on these forums do tend to drop off over holiday periods and during summer months for obvious reasons.

Re: Not trying to Ruffle feathers, but...
Trying to get the word out requires people with interest to the pcx... and i dont know about you, but even living in a satellite area of a big metropolitan city, ive only 'heard' theres 1 other pcx rolling around the city, and have yet to see them.

Re: Not trying to Ruffle feathers, but...
Personally, I like the content of this site. It's nice to have a site with such a high signal to noise ratio, where any time there is an update or a new thread I can pretty quickly see if it's of interest to me and I don't have to wade through a slew of off-topic posts just to get at the real meat of the thread.
