Re: Getting a PCX 125 on Saturday!

I'm not sure, he says he's thinking about it because he rents out a flat and the tenants might be moving out, so he'll have less income. Plus I've spent all his money this month lol (I had to get him to pay the deposit on my scooter, clothing and insurance because I don't get paid until Friday!) :oo...

Re: Barnsley area

I meant just on the roads generally (e.g. driving a car), but never mind - would still be fun to go out somewhere with a random person at some point! Although it may turn into a case of "who has the fastest PCX?" if the other person turned up with an axe or something... ;) I felt like I di...

Re: Getting a PCX 125 on Saturday!

Yeah, I'm looking forward to going places on it - even just driving to somewhere random would suit me. I'm looking forward to my boyfriend getting a scooter because then we can go places together, and I'll have someone there if I need help for any reason. Going to ride to work tomorrow and I'm very ...

Re: Getting a PCX 125 on Saturday!

I do love it! I was a bit reluctant at first because I liked the idea of the step through platform, but I actually really like the way that it is - keeps me centred etc lol :) Leeds is in West Yorkshire in England - if you look at the main part of the UK it's just below halfway down, and about the m...

Re: Barnsley area

I wouldn't mind meeting up with someone at some point and going for a ride, especially if they are more experienced and can show me where to go lol... My boyfriend is thinking of getting a scooter soon, although he wouldn't be getting a PCX - would he be allowed to come? Lol :) (I live in Leeds, by ...

Re: Getting a PCX 125 on Saturday!

That's reassuring! I realised I rode up a no bike/car zone yesterday, only for a little way. It said "Limited Access" on the road and had signs saying the rule was in place between 5am and 10pm, but I was so busy concentrating on getting the traffic lights right that I missed them (I only ...

Re: Getting a PCX 125 on Saturday!

Hopefully I won't have to drive around the centre too much - just work out how to get to and from work and that's about it. I live on the edge and the lock-up is on the edge too, so if I get my key sorted tomorrow I will be fine. It wasn't too bad in terms of traffic this evening, but there were dru...

Re: Getting a PCX 125 on Saturday!

Collected the scooter today - was terrified but the ride back was actually not that bad. Went round in a big circle to begin with which was a nuisance as it meant that I was late back for Avenue Q at 4pm :( Had to park on the street rather than at the lock-up (didn't want to waste any more time), an...

Re: Getting a PCX 125 on Saturday!

I went to Hein Gericke originally, but then decided to go with Get Geared. A bit less fancy but seemed to be better value! (They are next door to each other, and there's another shop on the opposite side of the road but when I asked about helmets the man didn't have a clue, so I decided to avoid tha...

Re: Getting a PCX 125 on Saturday!

Thanks again for your comments! :) The insurance is with MCE - I tried both Compare the Market and Money Supermarket, and they were the cheapest on both for comprehensive cover and cover the other stuff too. Seems a bit pointless when the excess is £650 anyway :( I rang them directly in the end and ...

Re: Getting a PCX 125 on Saturday!

Thanks for all the advice! :D I was expecting people to tell me I was silly for rushing into it so quickly :lol: I've got my insurance sorted - it's costing me £649.81 :( I'm going to buy my clothing tonight - I might stick to a helmet, jacket and gloves for now and sort the rest at a later date as ...

Getting a PCX 125 on Saturday!

I passed my CBT last Saturday, and this Saturday I'll hopefully be collecting my new scooter! I'm really nervous and I'm scared I might forget something, so I'd like some advice please :) I need to buy a helmet and clothes before I get it, but I'm going on Friday to the shop (there are three right n...
