Re: Newbie with a fresh 2014 pcx

So Honda ditched the hump!

Your scoot looks great - I would love to see what LED headlights would do.

Congrats on the new wheels.

Re: Fuel cap hassle

Mine is troublesome as well - 2013 150. I push the button and not much happens. I need to fiddle with the cover, trying to get some purchase to get it started. I might just glue a bit of a knob on so I have something to hold on to. Nothing will happen soon, though - WAY to cold (and too much road sa...

Re: Redlights and small scooters

Interesting trick - I might give it a try when the weather breaks. I do have one light that I hit on not rare occasion that has been problematic.

Thanks!

Re: 1st mod to my new 150 - thx to the reviews here

I just added the non-illuminated version to my PCX. The clock face is not very big, but I think it will do the job just fine.

Picture could be more crisp, but hand-holding at 1/4 sec is dicey even with stabilization. The flash attempt was not at all good.

Re: practical solution

Actually, it looks like a lovely place to work - effectively no tool clutter, nice light, and man, that wood-stove looks real cozy right now. It is 14F with 5-9 inches of snow predicted for the evening. My wife would probably be more or less OK with it if I was able to assure her that the job would ...

Oh well... maybe at least get some kind of cover. The Walmart one is somewhat cheesy, but better than nothing I would think.

Re: Storage in house

I'm assuming that they won't move it until you get back. Innocently ask "Do you actually smell any gas?" when next you arrive and hope for the best. Inside storage would be absolutely deluxe, even if the compromise sent your baby to the basement.

WhiteNoise - If you are having issues with pic size and are running a Windows environment, download pixresizer (http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm).

Re: Dog thread!

Well that stinks pretty badly. Sorry. We lost our pointer-foxhound at only 9 years (we got here when she was maybe two) due to bladder cancer, and it was so sad watching her go. Throwing money at some medications gave us another six months or so, but the end, even though expected, sucked. We had our...

Re: A Birdie Told Me.....

I don't think that we Americans EVER actually get yams. Yams run 2 to 10 kg and are kinda starchy. We eat a bunch of kinds of sweet potatoes that are often called yams in the supermarkets. Whitenoise - if you are asked next year, try this: roast (or peel then steam up) a couple of pounds of sweet po...

Re: So what its the trick to getting the battery door open?

Thanks! Got it open and can now install battery charging wires that I am sure to need over the next few months. I would prefer to do the task when the weather is above freezing. My experience with this sort of clip is that you push it to make it flush and the wings separate and retain the parts. A t...

So what its the trick to getting the battery door open?

I can see the nice little retaining plug with its locking button pushed nice and flush. From working on trim on the car, I know how these things work (or at least think I do). How do I get that plug out without trashing the retaining plug?

If the Scoot House puts up with the snow half as well as Rhino, I'll be thrilled. This was decidedly NOT scooter weather.
