Well guys, thanks for the "Ride it Home" I did and was all smiles. I took some backroads, made a wrong turn at one spot, had to get on Rt 81 interstate for about 7 miles, I let her rip wide open, 64mph, not bad, but i would not do it regularly wind from other vehicles does effect me on the...

Curious, Insurance coverage on the PCX, do most riders have comp & collision or liability, just got a quote for liability only $70, sound fair

Hi paul Sounds like you are having some good times on your PCX, i am sure i will too, so tomorrow i pick it up, still deciding if i should drive it home or trailer it, about 60 miles, i have a trailer but if i trailer it, would there be any problems tying it down as i did with other bikes one strap ...

i might drive it home and have the wife follow me in the car, dumb question, but i can ask the dealer too, but i am curious, it says the instrumentation and has a gas low light, is there a gauge that i can see how much is in it at times or only a low warning. Chet ps cant wait to get it i hear so ma...

Paul thought about the deal, was looking on the internet for 2 weeks, this one at the dealer caught my eye 840 miles with an aftermarket rack on the back and a aftermarket taller windshield, some on the web were salvage bikes and some with alot of miles, this one has a scratch on the side, can be ea...

Thanks Paul. the dealer did say it was serviced, but i do want to double check. Lancaster, been there many times, we are up in Wilkes Barre, bought the bike at Rusty Palmers in Honesdale

Chet
