Repairs Complete

Post by Blazinby »

Hey all,

Having crashed my Black 2015 PCX I have now repaired the s**t out of it, hard to believe it's the same bike.

.... so you lifted up the seat a slid a new bike under it, didn't you!? Very nice looking bike. Good bike with a nice looking set of plastics. If only they could add the disc brake to the back as well. Then it would be a GREAT bike.

You are both right of course,

repairs for my 2015 start with £400 for a front light, £250 for replacement panels, various hundreds of pounds for yoke,bearings, spindle, new caliper, new front wheel.....

I can't afford that s**t. I can afford to buy a brand new bike (£20 per week) so I did that.

Can't throw my old one away so I will fix as parts get cheeaper and turn up more often on Ebay and stuff.

New one seems slower off the line but def feels more powerfull as you get to 50+

it is very pretty tho :)

I hear you(you),

could make enough money to buy two bikes; or maybe start my plan for world domination!

To be honest my 2015 will always be the first motorbike I bought (two wheels and an engine therefor a motorbike) and I kinda want to keep it. I intend to rebuild coz I'm sure it was faster from a standstill.

However I may be the first guy you ever heard of who died trying to race two scooters at the same time by himself :)

There's a Darwin award out there with my name on it

New one looks good.
Have you tried pricing up the replacement parts for the 2015 direct from Thailand?
