Strange feeling...

Post by gn2 »

...saw my old PCX going round a roundabout in town today, felt really weird seeing it with someone else aboard.
At least the new owner was doing a good job of carving through the busy traffic :)

Ah no.
The Forza is consistently averaging 78
When new the PCX averaged 96
More recently the PCX was doing 82 - 87
So not really much in it.
I suspect if I never took the Forza above PCX speed, the economy would be the same.

That's always odd.

I had a similar experience with my Ranger. I sold it, and saw it wrecked on the side of the highway. o_O

No, both times I was waiting at a roundabout for a gap in traffic and the PCX whizzed round in front of me.

Brings tears to me eyes,....truly. When I sold my candy orange (hi viz color) Shadow, I saw it months later on the parkway heading in opposite direction. Hey! That's my bike!! I tell ya, I almost pulled a huey to follow it :cry:
Hallmark moment. Now go hug up to your Forza...a wink-el-do

I had the same thing happen with a car I traded at the dealer. Six months later I was at the US/Canada border crossing into Canada when I looked to my left when low and behold, there was my old car two lanes over. I was able to talk with the guy and he was happy with it.
