What's with all the insecurity?
Why would anyone possibly want to mess with America?! It's a democratic paradise envious by entire world..

Re: increased gas range, mileage to outrun the coming apocal
I have a rotopax for my adventure bike, the containers are good but the screw on filler is crap, all of mine have broken.
Sooner or later there will be a global economic collapse, all joking aside. It was partly the reason I got the pcx. 110Mpg helps save in fuel costs which helps me more financially stable.

I can't explain why I feel like I do, jokes aside, but I am super happy with my little pcx. I feel like I will go long distance someday

Re: increased gas range, mileage to outrun the coming apocal
"My 2013 PCX 150 has hurricane silencer, 8 drilled 1/4 inch holes in the bottom of the airbox to slightly increase mileage."
Has anyone else drilled holes in their airbox? Are there any negatives to doing this type of modification?

Re: increased gas range, mileage to outrun the coming apocal
When I bug out can I leave my wife home? I married a Russian bride from the internets. Turns out she was an east German shotputter. 6'4", 255lbs solid muscle. When she gets on the back of my scoot she pushes me forward in till what is left of my nutsack is jammed into the steering column.

Re: increased gas range, mileage to outrun the coming apocal
This thread is a whole pile of crazy. I love it.
Hairbraine, I don't mind silly comments, but make sure they stay polite. We don't need to know about your nutsack
I think I'd buy a motoped if I wanted to really have an apocolypse bike. Way smaller and way lighter than the PCX.
