The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Wondering if LED valve stem lights would be effective, and much less expensive?

Ended up passing it up... the only half-hearted effort by the sales guy was the warranty's value at time of trade-in or resale. Neither of which I don't anticipate happening in the next few years.

How did you secure the bottoms of the bags to the bike? I noted velcro attachment points on similar bags, but I'm wary of doing that to my brand new 150.

I know this has been discussed before, but.... Dealer just called to offer me the Honda Care extended warranty (5-year) for $200. Down from $798. Is this now a good deal or still not worth purchasing? I'm leaning no since any defects that might arise will do so within the first year. Thoughts please...

Lots of people wave around here. I get less waves from Vespas and sportbikes than Harleys or Cruisers... Actually, I was up in Chattanooga last weekend at the Hill On Wheels scooter rally. Me and the dog left to go home, and were filling up at a gas station when a whole pack of Harley riders on HUG...

Way cool... and agree on bike choice.

A good friend of mine in Columbia, SC (fellow Gamecock) is looking to get a commuter (he's got a custom that sucks fuel). I recommended the 150... he's been researching http://www.vectrix.com/index.php

If you won the lottery you could afford a few decent machines instead of that fraud of a thing. Uh oh... a good-looking Deutsche Dud? Not really German, mostly Taiwanese. Interesting... and good to know. Thanks all for the honest input. Not that the PCX would be replaced by another scooter anyway, ...

Still sunny and warm over there then? Once again one of your posts has made me jealous of where you live . Are you joking? Americans live there. <humour on>They learn to shoot before they can walk, have webbed feet, play the banjo and do unspeakable things with farm animals.<humour off> Yup. That's...

Definitely a sweet ride... I've been eyeballing a Triumph America as a 2013 acquisition.

Glad you're okay, as well as the bike!

Luckily in my area, the train track crossings are well within the 45 degree safety guideline. My big watch-out-for is beach sand accumulating on streets.

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. Ditto for me, especially Sweden and England (take advantage of relatives prov...

What a great movie!

Fantastic photos!

How long did each trip take?

I actually found one locally, as well as a decent cable lock.

Great idea!

The dealership definitely makes some coin on HondaCare - they were giving me a "deal" at $598 for 5 years (NJ), and the dude's main supporting statement was that it's transferable. As in, the $800 value of the warranty would be taken into consideration if I traded in the scoot for a new or...

The larger wheels definitely help soak up bumps - driving home from the dealership yesterday morning was on a cement road (35-40 mph speed limits) with regular frost-heave bumps. Only a couple of times I "stood up" (butt off seat) to lean over the bumps... no worries. Even hit 45+ without ...

My brand-spankin'-new 150 needs a waterproof cover (see my Gallery post!)... any suggestions on one that will snug down and shrug off rain and snow?

Thanks!
