The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Went for a day trip today with the local club. Was planning on taking videos but had finger trouble using my little camera and none came out. Here are some stills:

Started out in town near the docks. There is a wooden boat festival on (every 2 years). Here is a nice old (15th century) Portuguese Caravelle.

We drove up the local mountain (about 4200 feet high). Here is a stop about 1/3 way up.

And here we are at the summit. A bit of drizzle on the way up and only 4 degrees C at the top so didnt stay long as only had summer gear on!

We stopped for Blackberries on the way down. Yum.

And finished up with fish chips and coffee at one of the beaches on the river. Tomorrow I have a sailing race; I love summer so pity you poor folk in the northern hemisphere

Looks great. Is the Portugese boat original?

Weather is getting better here, well the rain is getting warmer.

No its a replica. Has a nice tarred look though. Have postponed my usual April UK biz trip to later in the year hopefully for summer there, winter here

I see you have members with old Vespas. What are those Vespas by model? I guess maybe a Rally or a GL/GS.

I think there's a Peugeot Speedfight and a piece of agricultural equipment too

Dont know the vespa models but that little Peugeot was a 100cc air cooled and left me for dead, though the rider was 1/2 my weight. Also a Piaggio X7 350 which was nice.

Fish and chips? In the colonies?

Whatever next

I'm Not tell in'!
Correction, I read (scanned) local paper today turns out our town had 30.7" White ..... and More White is on the way ... falling tomorrow.
Think I 'll go out to the garage, visit WN and "strike a pose" (to go nowhere )

I bet it's at times like these you miss your old place in Florida eh Mr WhiteNoise?

Is white snow?

We never get snow here, except the top of the mountain in winter. So its our choice if we want to go and see/play in it. So florida sounds nice!

>> TheBoyBilly, you have a good memory. Miss? YES!
Riding time is all the time in Florida, except now (Feb). The temps are dipping there, so a lot of bikes are undercover getting spruced up for March > onward. Owners are so proud of their rides.....and it Shows!!
>> you you, No. "is white snow?" Turn it around. Although, I have to say it's looking mighty pooey right about now
>> Taz, lucky guy you are. You can visit cold and then escape it all in a days ride. If you like warm/hot weather, Florida is the place for you. BIG bugs though Splat! Must wear a FF

weather is on TV now...............Crap!!! More "white snow"!!
Note to Self: Check airfares

We did a day trip today to the pub at Dunalley near where we had big bushfires last month. Supporting the local economy and getting some pics and vids.

Here is a brief vid of riding in company with other bikes and scooters today:

ps can someone tell me how to embed vimeo here as pasting the full html embed code doesnt work...

Here are simple links to the 2 videos:

http://vimeo.com/59828675

http://vimeo.com/59829619

There's no Vimeo embedding, since HTML is disabled to prevent malicious redirects. You can embed Youtube though, or just post the links like you did.

That bushfire damage was horrendous. I hope all those people had good home insurance.

Where was your camera mounted?

Dave, Pics of the camera, and mount on this thread: Its attached to my left mirror. http://hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=814

Oh yeah, I forgot about that thread.

That's good quality for only $30.
