Hello fellow PCXers

Hello to all,
Came across the forum whilst researching the PCX so I've been lurking on here for a few weeks now and thought it was about time I registered and said hello So first of all congratulations on a great forum, I've learnt loads about the PCX and a fair bit about riding in general from here, it's been incredibly helpful as a newbie to motorbikes/scooters, so thanks.
Having never ridden before I took my CBT on the 13th of June on a little 50cc moped and to be honest having been driving a car for some 20 odd years and being a regular cyclist I found it pretty easy really so passed no problem, which was just as well as I'd already put my deposit down 2 days before on the PCX and was due to pick it up the following Wednesday. Picked it up on a glorious sunny day (talk about lucky) so decided to make the most of the weather and put just over 100 miles on it on the first day which I think is testament to how much I enjoyed riding it However although it is great fun to ride it was bought for commuting as my car is somewhat uneconomical (approx 20MPG) so as I've now filled the PCX 3 times and it's done 118.9MPG, 119.1MPG & 123.7MPG it's confirmed it's gonna save me a fortune in fuel
So here's a couple of pics from the day I picked it up
and here's a couple from a slightly crazy ride out I did yesterday into the Peak District, a bit ambitious really for the PCX but it coped just fine
