Picked up my new PCX150 on Saturday - loads of fun, even compared to my bigger rides

That is a common sentiment here.

P.S. Nice user name.

Congrats and welcome to the club.

Welcome and thanks for posting. Judging by the tools on the wall, it looks like you will be able to most of your own maintenance ... although with it being a new bike, you should be spared that for a bit.

Welcome! Yours is a color we rarely see around the forum, very nice! Color choices in the states are few. I'd sure like to see Honda kick it up a notch (or two) with some New "Bright, I Can See You" PCX colors. But, I won't hold my breath. So, Dilligaf what other bikes do you have? Enjoy your new family addition!

Thanks to all for the warm welcome!

A principle I try to follow...not always successfully, though. I am always pleasantly surprised when it is still available on a forum

I try to do basic maintenance where possible but will stick to the dealer for a while. Have others to work on in the meantime

In SA we are obviously spoilt for choice. We currently have the choice of Grey, Black, Candy Red and Pearl White. I've never been a particulalrly "flashy" person so red didn't appeal

Currently, between my wife and I, we have 2 x Yammie XT660R, 2 x Honda CRF230, 1 x Yammie TTR125 and a pit bike. Also had a GSXR750 track bike which I wrote off on track in Dec last year

Before the XTs, we had Honda Blackbird, BMW R1200ST, BMW R1100S, Triumph Daytona 675, Kwaka ER6F, Buell CityX (but not all at the same time!)

Wow that's a lot of bikes, maybe post some pics? Here or in the "Other Bikes" of the forum? So you rode off the track...scary! Details....Hurt?
So you think you you has a garage fetish? Yeah, me too. Meaning, I believe he does and "I" can understand. Like, Home away from home. I use to feel the same about my custom yard shed back in the 80's, so yeah, I get it (o; Nothing like a well kept personal space to call one's own. Oddly my garage is a mess right now, trying to find time to get back tuit. I will.

I can understand the garage thing to some extent but haven't let it get out of control yet...although my wife will probably differ on that

Went down on turn 2 at Kyalami racetrack, a fast left-hander (around 150 kph). Fortunately low-sided but bike flipped and flew when she hit the litter. Landed upside down and flipped again, a few times. No injuries to me - just some bruising and a sad heart to see my baby go that way...

Seeing pics like these and reading the stories behind them, and then hearing how much guys like you enjoy riding a PCX lets me know that a scooter is a legitimate ride. I never rod a bike before the PCX 8 months ago. Thanks for sharing.
