Shouldn't you worry about her gear first?

IMO, much more costly to replace than the panels.

I'm thoroughly conversant with the gear, but had a question about the panels. See my prior posts on getting gear. She'll have the best gear, you can count on it. Our garage looks like an Aerostich showroom.

My PCX got two crash in two minutes..
I got a spill on the wet road when I were going around a curve. After I dropped I tried to stand up and lift my PCX. But when I were lifting the pcx I set on the gas by mistake and The PCX suddenly started to run to a wall... And Second crash...
:cry:
I m more sorry for second crash than first.

Glad to hear you're alright. Scooters can be replaced, you can't be replaced. :)

I never had a problem with the stock tires in the wet. You were probably going too fast for conditions, as others have said. Go slower, and do everything much more gradually in the wet. Leave way more stopping distance between cars too. Don't let it discourage you though; riding in the rain happens all the time, and you should learn to do it well. It sounds like you learned the lesson of going slow with little damage or cost, which is definitely a good thing.

Outstanding.

I broke my leg in August of 2014 while riding my PCX.

I still can't run :cry: .
