Re: iPhone X

Android had facial recognition, and knew when you were looking at the screen, a number of years ago. Of course apPle slaves won't know this because they're programmed to be unable to touch any other phone. In our house we just buy the latest Moto G for about £160 and save ourselves millions of pound...

Re: Office-friendly riding footware

I buy Clarks Goretex boots when they have a sale on. Much cheaper than bike-specific boots, the urban versions of which offer little if any protection over normal boots.

No mention of Cat Stevens in the article, so you needn't worry with your bias.

Re: I didn't know scooter thefts were such a problem in the

After reading that article I still had one question on my mind. The biggest factor in murders in New York City has been guns. Just about every gangster wanna be in that city knows that having a gun brings respect, or so they believe. Getting a gun illegally seems to be easy there. Almost every murd...

Re: Security

Vehicle security.... I worked once at a psych hospital as a veteran co-therapist - was walking with a Vietnam veteran down to breakfast one morning, and he glanced out the front door to see that his souped-up Nova was still unmolested by the neighborhood thugs. He'd lost two batteries so far. "...

Re: New Forza 300 2018 is coming!

I like the new design and would buy one if it comes to America. I felt my 2017 pcx was too small for the rural roads. My 2014 forza is the perfect size and very comfortable to ride. I think the 650 silverwing is too big and expensive. So, Honda needs to start selling the new Forza in the USA. You d...

Re: New Forza 300 2018 is coming!

I'm pretty sold on the new Forza 300. Registered my interest with Dobles Honda and hoping to test ride one as soon as they become available. I'll hang on to my present Chinese auto until then, but if it's as good as I think it will be, I'll be buying one of the first ones in the UK. 8) https://www....

Its not the world, its just the USA. gn2, I'm sure you understand that there always have been large numbers of Americans who deride the NRA for refusing to push for a ban on the purchase of military style semi-automatic weapons.

Re: Question to the board...

I remember the last school shooting in the UK, in the country GN2 lives in. It resulted in our ban on hand guns. We shouldn't give up, wrongly assume that this is how it has to be, and then have to respond accordingly. I accept that the USA is a unique environment and culture, and that how things lo...

Re: Freeway riding

Ok, time for a reality check. On the Golden Gate bridge there are crosswinds. The PCX 150 is a light bike with a maximum speed of 64 mph. The crosswords are bad when you are behind and beside a semi truck. Imagine that combined with the winds that blow on the bridge. Good luck holding it in your la...
