Re: Magnum P.I. rides a scooter in addition to Ferrari
I was able to get some screenshots of the Vespa by playing the episode on the CBS app. The circumstance was the Ferrari was towed away because Magnum bounced a check he wrote to pay for a repair. Higgins allowed it to get towed to teach Magnum a lesson :D So a Hawaiian character named Kumu (the cult...

Re: Magnum P.I. rides a scooter in addition to Ferrari
It is ok. Not like the original though. The original Magnum, if you recall, was over 6 ft tall. The one that plays him now can't be more than 5 ft 9 in. Also Selleck had more of a believable character than Jay. The new guy actually fits in the Ferrari now - Tom Selleck looked kind of silly with his...

You don't get CBS? Only reason I saw it was because it came on right after the Patriots v. ChiefsOld Grinner wrote:Had no idea that show was on again . . .. I don't get that channel on my cheap antenna.![]()
From the director that brought us "Fast and Furious"? It must be awesome.

Magnum P.I. rides a scooter in addition to Ferrari
So I'm watching an episode of the Magnum P.I. reboot (first one I've seen) and in addition to a couple of different Ferraris he's also riding around on a baby blue scooter! So this must mean it's officially "cool" to ride a scooter now, eh? :D (We already knew this to be the case of course...

Re: Attention Big Bird, your scooter is ready!
I wonder what it's story is? 1,237 miles divided by 15 years is only 82.5 miles per year! The town where the dealer is located is home to Stetson University - I'm guessing maybe it was owned by a Professor who lived about a quarter mile from campus but didn't like to walk - LOL

Check out this 2004 yellow Helix with just 1,237 miles that one of my local dealers just got: https://www.rchillhonda.com/Pre-owned-Inventory-2004-Honda-Motorcycle-Scooter-Helix-6550863?ref=list I didn't know anything about these so I found a nice article on Scooter Guide about them, apparently Hond...

Re: ~ Soon to Own a 2019 PCX ~
I think it's all personal taste and what you're used to, I have an xMax 300 and That's just 100 pounds more than a PCX. I find it to be just as light and agile, I can pull it up on curbs, can get in and around stuff. It's one of the reasons that I like the bike more than my old PCX, as it still fee...

Re: Yamaha SMAX vs. PCX 150
Took my new 2018 Yamaha SMAX for a Christmas Eve ride and made a vid where I give my thoughts on how it compares to my old 2015 Honda PCX 150. I also do some testing on the highway from about the 24 to 38 min mark where I hit a top speed of 82 (indicated) mph - probably not the best way to break it...

Re: How much to replace a front fender roughly?
Hard to justify for what must be a five minute job? They have it down as a 0.8 hour job (48 minutes) which works out to $96 @ $120/hour. It’s still a five minute job. Yes - but it takes another 43 minutes for the technician to pick his nose, take a dump, surf his phone, and talk up the cute parts c...

Re: How much to replace a front fender roughly?
Glad you're OK and no aches or pains emerged after the accident. :D The dealership labor fees are a hard fact of reality these days. . .. But at least you'll be back on the road in one piece again. I'm surprised tinted windows are even allowed. . .all these highway safety people are always so conce...

Re: How much to replace a front fender roughly?
I am not even sure that guy would have an adequate excuse for backing up in an intersection. I have had drivers backup in front of me because they decided to stick their nose out into the intersection, hopefully forcing others to let them continue on when the light changed. Then the other drivers c...

Re: How much to replace a front fender roughly?
So WTF was the excuse for backing up in an intersection? The guy was so apologetic and kept saying how happy he was that I wasn't hurt that I totally forgot to ask him. At first I assumed he changed his mind about turning right and decided to back up so he could then get in the next lane over to tu...

Re: How much to replace a front fender roughly?
So I had it checked out at my Yammie dealer and fortunately there's no mechanical damage. I think the fact that I had just begun to madly push myself backwards at the moment of impact may have helped lessen the blow - LOL. The estimate for the fender replacement is $37.65 for the part (comes painted...

Re: How much to replace a front fender roughly?
Wow, thanks for the quick responses guys - great info! That part is a LOT cheaper than I expected - hopefully it comes in the proper shade of black direct from Yamaha and I won't need to have it painted.

How much to replace a front fender roughly?
Hey all, I just had a guy back his car into my 2018 Yamaha SMAX while waiting at an intersection. I know it's not a PCX but what should I expect to pay to have it replaced? See pics below. I have tomorrow off from work so I'm taking it to the Yamaha dealer where I bought it first thing tomorrow morn...

Nice job - looks OEM. What do they call that color over there? We can have any color we want in the USA as long as it's bronze ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
