Nice white one. But the thing that amazes me most is that you are the first person I have seen using the helmet hook under the seat :)

haha, someone hasn't read the manual :) ye the pcx has a helmet hook, open your seat and look toward the front next to the idle switch (unless you are in the states) and there it is

Yeah, it works pretty well...I put a Helmet Cable with it from a Honda 800 VFR Interceptor (Longer) and it's easier to use. Unless I'm "packed" on a long Trip, I just lock it inside the 45 Litre GIVI Top Case most of the time now.... ;)

Hey Skuuter you live in a very beautiful area, i'm green with envy. I live in a smelly industrial town called Widnes
which is just about the armpit of Britain. But i shall escape to the mountains one day, me and my PCX.

Didn't you guys ever wonder what the little strap with two loops in the toolkit was for? You take one loop, loop it around the little hook, string your helmet onto the strap, then loop the other end on the hook to secure your helmet. :lol:

You loop the strap through the metal D rings on the helmet, so that a thief would have to slash the chin strap to steal the helmet.

You don't want to be using a helmet hook...
Pal of mine once returned to find that in his absence, somebody had used his helmet for a chamber pot.
