Unless that trash can is full of cement, it's not holding up a PCX. There's a side stand on the left side of the PCX.JCVA wrote: Why not use the centerstand instead of leaning it on a garbage can to keep it from tipping over?

Do you practice in front of the mirror? Try not to make every single post about yourself. Give it a restMel46 wrote:When I bought my Burgman from an individual my insurance company told me that I had 5 days to get it on the policy, in case the company was closed when an individual tried to call. However, that was when I was adding another scooter. For a first buy you should line up your insurance in advance so you will have an idea of the cost. They will need the Vin number as soon as you buy it as well as other information. Have cash ready because many people do not trust checks. Ask the individual how he prefers to be paid before making any assumptions. When I purchased mine, the individual went to the bank with me so that the whole process was less painful. Make sure the previous owner gives you any records and manuals that go with the bike. I doubt that anything at all is wrong with the scooter you are buying, but look it over to make sure, and start it up to be sure it runs. Ask how old the battery is. I am betting that the person either found that the scooter wasn't powerful enough for him or he wanted the newest one and they wouldn't give him a good trade in. That is the problem with bikes in general. Trade in value drops fast, even though the bike is in beautiful condition. I really hope you enjoy that one as much as I am enjoying mine. It is well worth the money you are buying it for.
Easy, tiger. Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.JCVA wrote: no shit sherlock
Thank you. I'm not gonna lie. I took it out for a test drive last night and was just going 35mph and it felt so fast and I was pretty nervous. It just shows how slow vietnam is compared to the states. I'm pretty sure it's just bc I'm not used to it yet. I'll slowly be working up the speed once I get my licenseWhiteNoise wrote:Okay, whatever! Moving along.....
Congratulations mongerhater, the deed is done and a joyful one it is! Be safe, practice and become one.
Cheers!
I got offered something like that from a dealer on PA which is like 2 hours from here. It was like 2400$ plus $300 for fees and he told me that I would tax and registration of my state but I didn't want to deal with driving all the way up there and deal with the sales person and bought one of craiglistsocoguy78 wrote:A few weeks ago I bought a new 2013 PCX150 for 2,599, 180 for freight, and 200 for paperwork/titling stuff. About 3,000 total and about $202 for motorcycle registration, tags, plates, and sales tax.
Have you given any thought to taking the MSF course? I recommend it highly. It's worth taking! It helps build your confidence level plus teaches Right from Wrong riding techniques? You stated you need to get your license, Why not do it all at once? Pass the course, get thy licensemongerhater wrote:Thank you. I'm not gonna lie.

I have thought about it. Currently I work 6 days a week so I don't have the time. I was planning to get the license asap then a beginner course that doesn't give a certificate which is cheaper and learn. I only working 6 days a week for like 2-3 more weeks but I don't want to wait that long to legally drive my scooterWhiteNoise wrote:Have you given any thought to taking the MSF course?

Have you rode anything like a scooter on the road before? If not, I'd strongly recommend taking the MSF Basic Rider's Course. Crashes typically happen within the first 6 months of riding, but taking a safety course could put the odds in your favor.mongerhater wrote: I have thought about it.

He's saying that they only provide the motorcycles. You have to buy your own equipments that they require. Gloves, boots, a long sleeve shirt or jacket, jeans, a dot approved helmet. So it's like $280+ for the class plus all of those out of your own pocket.Valiant wrote:Seems a little backasswards. So you essentially need to take a class in order to ride your scooter, but the class requires a motorcycle that would not be provided to you? Might be cheaper to take the class in a neighboring state unless you've got motorcycle rentals nearby.
It's only $200 for me...mostly because I already bought my gear and plan to wear it anywaymongerhater wrote:He's saying that they only provide the motorcycles.

. Though it may vary by state, as my class technically provides helmets, boots, and gloves. You just need to bring a long sleeve shirt and long pants.
