2013 PCX 150 [now an ex-bike, soon to be consigned to the bottom line of the sig]
2013 Silver Wing ABS (Black)
1971 BMW R75/5 (White)
Too many ex-bikes to list, and, besides, who really cares what we used to own?
Welcome Blazinby, just got my PCX125 a few weeks ago myself, been on a Peugeot 50cc before that for 5 years. If I can answer anything I will, fabulous scooter by the way, you will enjoy it.
Dang! I'm happy to hear two things from you....1) you bought a PCX!! Wahoo!
2) and, you're set to take your "CBT" in less than a week!
That's SMART!!

thanks for the welcome,will def post pics as soon as she arrives
had a car liscence for 25 years so I'm no stranger to the roads around me but I am a bit nervous about starting out on my two wheeled adventure.
I'm a mature student and my college is about three or four miles away in the centre of Glasgow.
It would cost me a fortune to park a car in town and I truly dislike public transport,oh yeah and I can't really afford to buy/run a car anyway
so by logical reaoning a scooter would free me from the expense of running a car (hypothetical car atm) and the discomfort of overcrowded public transport.
no brainer if I just bite the bullet and give it a go
Hello and welcome to the forum. I was 42 when I got my pcx after a short time with and old c70 when I was 18. It won't take you long to get used to it and sure you'll have fun, (if the rain stays off).
Hey, Congrats on your recent purchase. I got my a few weeks ago and although got a little familiar with the road not too long after rolling it out of the dealership I still adore every moment on it. just been out today for a quick ride, weather here is beautiful for it.
I've found this forum a fountain of useful knowledge and friendly advice.
A quick tip look out for fuel on the roads :s
Asking ScootyK, have you found getting your scoot on its center stand easier now?

Yeah WhiteNoise, it was so embarrassing at the time though, especially as there were two of us doing the CBT and the other guy (aged 17 and I'm 30) had no problem with it at all ...
Turns out he had quite a bit of experience with off-road motorcycles though which made me feel a little better.
My advice for the CBT would be:
1. Stay Calm and listen carefully
2. Don't worry if you can't do something immediately, it may take a few goes (like my center stand problem lol )
3. Remember your highway code for the Q&A bit, especially different crossings
4. Have fun and enjoy it!
