Ride in the rain! It's fun. Just take turns slow... And bring a towel.

I've ridden in the rain since the first day I bought a scooter, I was going to wimp out but decided its better to just get on it and go! I don't mind riding in the rain at all, just take it slower around the bends and leave a bigger stopping gap! Oh and I use the combined brake more than the front! Helps having waterproof clothing too :)

I just got a 2013 black PCX150...previously owned a Scarabeo 500. The 150 is perfect for the city streets here in Los Angeles. I do need to get the tall Givi windshield for freeway driving...too much wind. As far as the seating position I find sitting upright promotes good posture, and now that I am used to it is comfortable for city riding although I could imagine wanting more room to stretch out on longer rides. I have 200 miles on it, and my only complaints are too windy above 40mph (windshield will fix), and to cramped for long rides (this machine isn't made for that for me...maybe shorter people would be ok)

Gerojetset, you might consider removing your seat hump to give you more legroom. It'll make it more comfortable for you if you are taller.. It's not too hard to do. hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=396

Speaking of Korea there was a bit of a fuss at the Olympics when someone behind the scenes got their flags mixed up...
