I don't have a 2015 PCX, but I play one on tv..... :-)). Had to say that. I am glad your daughter is OK. Hopefully she won't be afraid of the scooter now. Did you take her for a spin around the block to show her how much fun it is to ride?

By the way, welcome to our nutty forum. If nothing else you will learn to laugh. Oh, I almost forgot...I am really glad to see that there is now a website that has parts for your 2015 PCX. That means that you can drop your bike a few times while waiting for replacement parts and you won't have to worry about it... 'Cause the parts are in the mail.

I'm feeling much better after taking the PCX out on a mission yesterday. Did the first freeway trip. Did a trip to pick up a cheque and the to the bank etc. The PCX felt great moving through traffic on congested roads as well as freeway cruising.
My last bike was a Suzuki GSXR 750. The PCX was so much better than I remember the superbike to be for doing everyday things. I felt pure joy in doing what would otherwise be mundane tasks.

Yes without manual clutch you kinda slow down and enjoy the smooth transition of power and focus on the other drivers... as it should be :)
Let us know how that touch up kit works out, my scratch is more like a pin prick on the lower side panel so I didn't bother to crack the seals on the order.

Guess Homie has to add me to the crash survivors list too. Took Casper to work a few weeks back when weather was better and this guy's dog got away from him and came flyin out in the road. No time to react but as I am a dog lover, I threw Casper off the road into Schiller Woods! No major damage just a few scratches to the graphics and a bent brake lever. Only damage to Me was a rip in my new jacket! Gloves and helmet did there job great! Happy ending, the guy was so greatful for me missing Rover that he offered to replace my jacket ( $159.00).

Oh nooooooooooooo! dogs will give chase sometimes, good handling on your part. Unfortunately years ago on a larger street bike I was unable to get out from under a dog broadsiding me and the poor animal bit the rear wheel at 40 miles per hour. This is an encounter with a dog owner you do want to have along side a road. Very, very sad and I don't have the heart to put you on the crash list after remembering this.
