I am convinced!

I am sitting here grinning like the Cheshire Cat. I brought my "new to me"PCX 125 home yesterday and had a chance to take it out for a good run despite some chilly temps. Running the scoot on a course near home had me laughing and hooting. More fun between 25 and 45 mph than an adult shoul...

The pin did appear and the tapered end was curved the way you described yours. Seems like the solution is stra...

OOPS!

While bringing my PCX home I accidentally jerked the wire leading into the left brake lever assembly out of its socket. :x Two metal tabs are exposed.

I was first infected with two wheel passion nearly 52 years ago with one of these.... http://imageshack.us/a/img806/9594/cruisaireapplianceblue1.jpg That little Allstate made me feel like Alladin and his flying carpet.

New member from North Carolina

Hello from Tryon, NC where the roads gain altitude and attitude. 8) I just sealed the deal on a gently used PCX125 Sunday. http://imageshack.us/a/img43/6295/sidepcx.jpg I will take delivery of the scoot next week. Can't wait to get it home and start putting some miles and smiles on the odometer. Whe...
