Re: New PCX Owner

I used to have a problem with right hand turns - especially islands. You've just got to look where you want to go and you'll go there! Focus on the kerb or a parked car and you'll end up there!

Re: Gap Insurance.....worth it?

I've had it before on cars and never used it. I wouldn't bother personally, £200 is a lot for a £2.5k vehicle. I paid £250 for a £6000 car.

Re: Gear / Helmet discussion (split off from Ermax thread)

I don't like the 'real' gear because it feels very uncomfortable to me. But lately I've seen the jeans with kevlar patches around the knees and thighs (also jackets available). That looks a good compromise to me! Has anyone experience with kevlar jeans or something like it? How is the comfort when ...

The term pikey does not refer to all strands of travelling folk so I wouldn't get too upset about it.

Re: Ermax

I have seen what happens when you fall of a bike in shorts and T-Shirt, and believe me if I tell you that those guys had a bad time. On the way to work today i saw a kid on a motorbike wearing just shorts. No t-shirt at all. First thoughts were wow what a silly bastard. They ride past my house all ...

Re: Would this pearl white helmet bettermatch the pearl wht

I had my heart set on a certain helmet but it didn't fit well so I got another that did even though it was a design and colour I didn't like! I don't care now as it fits so well! I don't think the normal white would be noticable unless you ride with your helmet resting on the bike and someone is loo...
