The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I'm planning to tour Scotland in May, a ride from Newcastle (boat from Holland) about 1500 miles. Has anyone ideas about what to visit?

I've already planned a lot like Applecross and Glencoe.

does anyone know where andrew is?
last thing i heard is that he was in iran and didn't have internet access but now his site is gone too!

I think I had well over 40 degrees between Andorra and Barcelona and that's not even nice to ride in. I put up my tent at night and still was soaking wet from sweating! In the south I had about all the time a max of 35 and that's quite nice to ride in. Taking a brake is still a little hot though. Bu...

That would be nice indeed...anyone interested?

Wow! Well impressed with your journey, seems like the little scooter is not only good to go to the shops and back :) Can you tell us a little about the equipment you used? I can see a Louis Bag and some mods for the handlebars. How comfortable was it? Which gear did you have and how many tyres did ...

Great pics. I think I could tell which of those pics were taken in Spain. Those with the yellowish environment are typical from the south and mainland during the hot season. My advice, head north next time ;) . It was actually not extremely hot in the south of Spain but it was in the north between ...

Great pictures, I really enjoyed looking through them while having a morning coffee. Just one minor gripe - not all of the pictures have info on the location. As with TV's Tour de France coverage, I like to follow the progress on a map to see whereabouts the action is. But thank you all the same fo...

WOW! You clearly have a great eye for a great picture, some of your shots are simply stunning 8) You've reminded me how little I've used my camera over the last couple of years, really must get back into it, not that any of mine are a patch on yours mind you. Thank you. I've used a simple camera th...

Yes, luckily it was such nice weather I could ride in my short pants that day after and then I bought some new.

Brilliant trips and great photos showing the true beauty of the places you passed. Have been to many of the towns and cities you show but not by bike. Some truly amazing roads which i can safely say has made everyone jealous! Watched the slideshows over my morning coffee :) Thanks TC3. It's nice to...

Yep, fantastic photos! Did the PCX behave itself? Love the red colour though that can send bulls crazy :) The PCX rode like a dream. It also did very well in the mountains, I've been up to 2400m and was constantly obstructed by cars on that road. Ofcourse you don't have the power of a big motorcycl...

Ditto for me, especially Sweden and England (take advantage of relatives providing a bunk). Another dream trip would be through southern Colorado and northern New Mexico! I have some plans for the future, maybe next year: 1. Calais-Dover, then to the southwest of England (Land End?), Wales, Ireland...

Wow, AMAZING pictures! That must have been so much fun. It's a dream of mine to take a trip through West Europe and the Mediterranean by scooter, but sadly, my work schedule won't let me do that for the forseeable future. The Mediterranean is very nice and not only for it's climate. And a little ti...

Fantastic photos! How long did each trip take? The first trip took me 32 days. I did 10 days from The Netherlands (Hoogeveen) to Benidorm in Spain. There I stayed 4 days with my family. Then I went for 4 days to Gibraltar/Tarifa. After that 5 days with my family in Benidorm. And then 9 days back ho...

Like It? LOVE IT! Fabulous!! You're a lucky man traveling roads and countryside that are only in my dreams! Tell me, how frightening was it encountering all those Big animals along your paths? They would've spooked me o_O Did you approach them slowly and then add more throttle? I'm thrilled you sha...

After the first 1000km for first service I took it for a 8000km spin trought The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France and Spain to Gibraltar (GB) and back again. When home for a few weeks I went for a one week 2300km trip through Germany, Czech Republik and Poland. I've put my photos on Picasa for ...

Back from my 8000 km/5000 mile journey across The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Andorra, Spain and England (Gibraltar). The PCX150 performed very well, even in high mountains (been up to 2408m). It was a smooth ride all the way through mountains (Pyrenees, Sierra Nevada), through cities (Pa...

I'm also very interested in a windscreen. I just rode 9000 km's in 6 weeks and I have really missed good wind protection. I even found out that keeping hot winds (North of Spain at 45 degrees Celcius) away would also be nice. It's just annoying when you have the feeling you get blown of your bike. S...

Funny, the NO spot looks just like the special motor(scooter)bike parking places in Spain!

Three months is a long time but all that time I had my trusty Honda Lead 100 so it was not that I was without a motorscooter! I will post some pictures afterwards. I'm not planning to use a computer while traveling. So that will be the second half of August before I'm back and have all the pictures ...
