Re: price shokking
Love the pictures thanks for that.
Your frustration is justified. The "finish" is we join forums and do general maintenance ourselves. The PCX is a solid scooter not like a lot of these Chinese scooters that fall apart rapidly. You can do the periodic service with minimal tools and help from members in here. Did you buy the extended warranty? How many miles do you have on your PCX now?
It is a wonderful life... congrats on your retirement

Re: price shokking
In America most of us can not retire until we reach 65 years old or older. In fact, many do not get the opportunities that allow them to retire at all, so if you are retiring you are one of the very lucky people.
As far as the price of service for the PCX, the biggest part of servicing it is taking off the panels, which HAVE to come off in order to do the valve check. That part of the inspection has been our biggest complaint too, so many of us do our own servicing after the 600 mile check up (a check up that is very important to do). I will not say that it is easy to pull off the plastics, but if you do it enough times you become familiar with where the screws, clips, etc are.

He is saying, I believe, that he has worked 48 years, not that he is 48 years old. Anyway, retired or no, life is still life--full of happy/sad happy/sad.Mel46 wrote:In America most of us can not retire until we reach 65 years old or older.

A brand new CTX 1300 as a loan bike on a PCX? Your dealer is also your friend!
The photos are great.

Re: price shokking
I retired at 65 years old, but I started working and got a Social Security Card at 11 years old. Granted, I didn't pay much into the system at that age, but by the time I was 16 I was paying taxes. I went into the military at 17, so I probably followed in the same way that many others have, except that I finally finished my college which allowed me more opportunities. Still, I never thought that I would be able to retire, and I really am glad that I could. So I know how great it feels to get to retire, so congratulations on being able to . Life is good. :-)

Re: price shokking
226 Euros to hire a CTX for the day and your scooter serviced free of charge.
That's what I call a bargain.

Re: price shokking
gentlemen, 1 answer to my working, hihihihi
i am 64 years old, i have 48 years working. I HAVE BEGINN WORKING I AM 15 YEARS YOUNG.
in germany you must !!! working when you birth behind 1952 bis 67 years an 7 month. it is judge.
but a new justic calling vor 2 years: when you have 45 years working and you are 63 years old, you can go with FULL!!! €, not less.
also: when a men/woman wont nothing working more BEFOR 67 YEARS old, and he have now 45 years working,
the judge say: for a mont= 31 days you want go earlier, we tow
0,36 % .
the resultat is: when a mann will go with 66 years (and have not 45 years working) it is: 19 month at 0,36 % = ca. 6,84% less.
a live long.
now i have 48 years working, also more at 45 years, this 2 years bring me:
wonderfull, marvelles, greates, heavist, unbeliviebels 20 € in a month, hihihihihihihihi
and: when i say: stop, i am now 64 years old, but i will working bis 67 and 7 month,
i bekam 35 € more.
also, what i doing??? for 35 bucks in a month 2 years working more??? i am not grazy, i am going.
i hope, i have its good for understanding posting.

by the way: in europa is working bis 67 and 7 month years old state of art,
but the minister SCHÄUBLE will: we must bis 2030 the people are working bis 70 years.
