Re: How A Forum Works

In my country it is much simpler, and it only comes down to: 1 to bring politics into the discussion by adding that (insert your least fav politician) isn't the brightest bulb. 994 more to get into personal attacks over their political views. Endless insults, threats, primitive accusations dating ba...

Re: I get bored very quickly if I don't have someplace to go

I enjoy my scooter when I am riding it to work, or riding it home from work. But if I take it out to ride it for enjoyment's sake, I get bored so quickly it isn't funny. I feel the same and it doesn't bother me one bit. I'd agree with gbru2505 that this is probably age-related - I'm 59. When I was ...

Re: Brand new uk pcx 125

Why don't you take a Forza 125 for a test ride? I am 59, haven't had a bike for 30 years and I am absolutely amazed with my 125 Forza which I owe for 2 months now. It's great for commuting to work and for fun rides in and around the city. With a topbox it offers plenty of payload space too. It has g...

Does someone know what work has to be done for the 12000 miles service?
My local Honda dealer is quoting me 160£, twice as much then the 8000m service.
Thanks. :)

Just for fun.
Perhaps you have done this already.

So, how about that map or country counter after all those replies?

Re: Tire Repair with Slime or Vulcanizing Glue + CO2?

Thank you all for your advice and suggestions.
By now I've definitely scrapped the idea of the slime.

Re: Tire Repair with Slime or Vulcanizing Glue + CO2?

Slime is messy, some tyre dealers wont repair them, even as they wont guarantee the repair as safe as residue from the slime may prevent the vulcanizing and bonding of their plug repair, its o.k. to get you home especially if the tyre hasn't got a lot of life left, them replace with a new one. Plug...

Tire Repair with Slime or Vulcanizing Glue + CO2?

I would like to be prepared in case of a puncture. There are 2 repair kits available: 1) with slime ampules 2) with gummy stick patches + vulcanizing glue + CO2 ampules and I would like your advice what to opt for. Slime ampules are apparently easier to use but afterwords an urgent visit to the tire...

Re: Office-friendly riding footware

One thing I love about riding auto scooters is that my choice of footwear isn't restricted to ones I can change gear and use a footbrake in. Currently revisiting New Rocks I hadn't worn since 2009. Perhaps a tad off topic though. Him indoors has a pair of Trickers that look very smart but are also ...

Either one works well. https://www.leatherup.com/c/All-Products/1/100.html?searchstring=shoes However, my favorite shoe for riding and then going to work is thi...
