The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Looks like there's a microphone by your mouth and what is that sticking out of the side of the helmet?

And I'm definitely getting a chuckle, thinking about your wife watching you wander about the house in that.

Tomorrow will be a 300 miles day on the CG up to NEC and back for the motorcycle show.

Oops... Sounds like you're plenty used to it.

And I do love what you've done with that C90!

People do do this sort of thing on antique Vespas. Next to that, doing it on a modern, already broken-in PCX150 would be a cakewalk. On the other hand, people are going to think you are nuts.

Probably you'll want to be ready with an explanation.

OK, I'm done and the PCX is fully outfitted (until summer returns here around March and the lap blanket comes off). I got a GIVI B360 (36 liter) top case and the GIVI SR1136 mounting kit.

Yes, it's a very local and kinda colorful institution.

My scooter at our excellent Pig... It was a real hassle getting the lap blanket on
and now that I've documented the tricky parts to the "How To" section
I'll probably be taking it off until more cold & wet weather hits.

I need a lap blanket because it makes riding in the rain much more comfortable. Diagram (from TU) of "leg warmer" and straps... TUDiagram.jpg The problem is the Tab 1 . You are supposed to screw it inside the minuscule glove compartment, on a screw that has moved since 2013. What I did is ...

TourAndRide.com has GIVI (and Kappa) top cases and mounting hardware on sale.

Don't know how the colors go, but in the UK that probably is a 125

Otherwise the learner plate wouldn't be legal and they would sell less of them, I think

And quite a magnificent scooter it is, too

I'm pretty sure that the crooks in SC would not steal a scooter this way, even with the video.

first I've heard of this kind of defeat to the steering lock, I wonder if PCX riders are vulnerable to this.

Excellent
It sounds like you are not a big stealer of mopeds.

The husband is still unhappy about his Vespa, which ended up nastily damaged by unsuccessful thieves. more information please, noticed the lock and thought it to be there for a good reason. Mopeds are super popular here and Vespas are way cooler, so they kept trying to steal our scooters by the tec...

Nice indeed! I am very interested in your thoughts concerning comparisons between the Vespa and the Honda? It's kinda like comparing apples and oranges, because the GT was a "large frame" modern Vespa with a carburetor. The power seemed similar, but the Vespa was about 50 lbs heavier and ...

DailyRider, oops I stand corrected.... ......You're one lucky Gal to get ahold of a "White." Sooo, Did your husband take a ride on it yet? Is he at the dealership with it now putting money down on his to be Gray?" Ah yes,....."Anyday Now" ;) No biggie, looks like most of th...

It was a Vespa GT200 and an excellent one at that.

Thank you guys, for the warm welcome :) I rode it around today and it's a completely great scooter And I had no trouble carrying a heavy load of groceries with my improvised setup (above) It's much nicer than my old one and I totally, totally loved the old one (I only traded that one in because it w...

Now that I've seen it, I think the white ones will return soon. It is magnificent!

I got the white because I'm hoping to persuade the husband to get a gray one
And neither one of us wanted one that's "gamecock red" (local team mascot and school color)

Yes...
It has been about 5 hrs since I traded in the other one and already I'm in mourning for its excellent grocery hook
(but just the grocery hook)

Yep, supposed to be one of the last white ones in the US warehouse (and such a lovely sparkly white it is, too). Showing my current inelegant security solution (there's a locked cable from the rear wheel going over the seat too) PCX2.jpg And showing my current inelegant grocery portage system. PCX1....
