Hello from Singapore!

[GeNeXIII]

Good day to all and greetings from Singapore!

I just had my new PCX 150 2016 model on 1st Jul this year and thought of joining this fantastic forum to learn more about this great bike! Thanks for letting me being part of this great group!

Regards,
Christopher

Here are some pictures of my PCX. Hope you guys like it.

For some unknown reason I decided to spend a month on your island-nation
2000 AD
Thinking back the Pcx would have been the perfect fit for getting around
welcome and enjoy

[GeNeXIII]

Thanks relic and hope that you can come and visit Singapore again! There's alot of changes since 2000 I can assure you of that!

I think your bike is rally nice looking, but you will have to tell us about some of those add ons. What is that box on your left? I thought it might be a radar detector, but I can't imagine a little PCX having a speeding problem. On your right side we here in the United States would have a RAM mount, but yours says something like MWUPP. It looks like the size that can handle a tablet too. How does that work for you?

Oh that's very NICE!!!! great pictures, thanks for that.

Welcome. Thanks for all the photos. I think of the great Lee Kuan Yew when I think of Singapore. The closest thing we have to LKY is on his way out of office. And, oh!, look what we've got trying to get in!

Enough of that.

The bike is beautiful.

Thank you all for the warm welcome! Apologize for the "late" reply as over here we are 12hrs ahead of you guys, so right now is 12pm on 12th Aug as I'm typing this out..

To bro Mel46, the grey-coloured box on my handlebar is actually our IU (in-vehicle unit) meant for our access through our ERP (electronics road pricing) gantries along expressways as well as entering and exiting of car parks. All vehicles in Singapore needs to be installed with one and it's serial number is unique to each vehicle. This in turn act as a seamless system for us to pay toll fees for usage of expressways and for entering into our CBD (central business district) area during peak hours. This act as a deterrent so vehicle owners may think twice about using expressways or CBD area & to keep these places congestion free. It is also now being used to pay for entering of car parks, with IU scanners at entry and exit points to determine your parking period is and charge accordingly. Below is an explanation link to our system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Road_Pricing

And yes, the MWUPP system is exactly the same as what you may known as the RAM mounting system.

I remember that was in effect in 2000 had to ask a local what was going on
one of the most densely populated areas in the world
traffic could be a problem if everyone had a free ticket
seemed to work when I was there
the comparison I heard was Singapore runs like a Swiss watch

Welcome to our forum(s) GeNeXIII it's nice to have you and your Black stallion aboard!
Thanks Mel for asking about the item on the left handlebar, I was about to myself. thank you GeNe for the quick reply.

My turn I'm guessing your clear windscreen above, is the Tall version Givi sells? May I ask, How tall are you? And...
Are your eyes above or below the screens top edge while riding? Just curious. I'm about 5'5" and others here are taller that have mounted this taller Givi version, so I turn to you in hopes you are shorter to give me an idea (looking through it, above or below the top edge?)

See that... you just got onboard and I'm asking you questions already!

[GeNeXIII]

Once again thanks to all for the warm welcome!

To bro WhiteNoise, no worries of the questions as I too want to exchange differences and knowledge of PCX culture from opposing side of the globe. Well I'm 5'8 (1.78m) tall and yes the GIVI windshield installed is the tall version (D1130ST) and when seated the top edge is about to my eye level height. I really appreciate the additional height as it is able to make the rider profile less wind-resistant and to top off this particular windshield model is able to deflect wind flow to rider's hands when riding, making your hands more comfortable and less susceptible to wind/rain elements.

Hi bro axeltow, that is correct. For my this model is for iPhone 6S Plus sized phones or any mobile that is around 5" screen size.

[axeltow]

Unfortunately, I ordered a similar this weekend. Hopefully its good.
