New PCX150 owner

Post by bubble »

Greetings all:

Just bought my 2013 black PCX last week, and found this forum tremendously useful in doing the requisite pre-purchase research.

FYI, I paid $2100 for this very near mint bike with only 33 miles on the odometer (I always appreciated hearing what others paid for their PCX's, and post the price for the benefit of those who follow after me). OTD was $2470.

I am in the process of personalizing the steed...Givi 323DT arrives tomorrow (which WILL be cut down), Helm service manual arrived Friday, and the bike already has the Battery Tender power cable attached to the battery, and enters the underseat storage space. So I got the Battery Tender matching USB power connector too.

I also have a PowerbyPCX seat on order too...used the FORUM DISCOUNT! :D The stock seat sure sucks, lol (built for 12 year old boys??).

This bike was preceeded by the '05 Honda Reflex, which lasted me 43,000 miles before it decided to become incontinent, and the '02 Silverwing, which currently resides next to the PCX. The Wing is staying, as it's great on the slab. The PCX is going to be my local commuter, with the option of the adult kids learning to ride on it, if they decide to carry through with that threat!

Thank you to the forum administrator for his or her efforts, and to all who posted useful info for present & future PCX-ers!

Hey Whitenoise:

"Bubble" is an abbreviation of a great band from the late 60's/early 70's, bubblepuppy. Check this out! >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_otNCZ5T2o

As a classic rock music aficionado, all aspects of my life tend to be filtered thru a "musical lens", so to speak. To some extent, it looks like you are similarly minded, i.e. the Yusuf Islam reference :lol: .

I just did "show off" my scooter, just not in this section of the forum. Go HERE for my windscreen swap >>>> http://www.hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4372

bubble where are you?
Funny, I never heard of that group, Bubblepuppy. Shame on me! :| how did I miss them? Their sound, sounds very familiar though. To who though? Hmm :roll:
Haha! Yes, Cat Stevens :) Always listened to his music. Back in the day I use to sing his lyrics out loud whilst riding down the Expressway. OMG! so crazy back then!
Music? I "Just Can't Get Enough...." :D No living without it! No not ever!!

Coincidence. Not really into Usfaf Islam (hope I got that right the spellchecker was very unfriendly) when I was younger apart from singinging morning has broken at school assembly. Which was great tbh amongst the turgid hymns

But now it's lovely deep bubble bath and a relax music....
