New scooter owner
Posted: Mon Jun 20, 2016 10:30 am
Hello fellow scooter owners from around the globe!
I wanted to introduce myself. I started riding dirt bike with a Honda 50CCA (circa mid 60's) when I was 5 years old in '72. My parents still own it and I actually rode it my last visit back with my wife who still laughs about it to this day! Says I looked like a circus bear on it
Anyway, I had a few larger dirt bikes and eventually my first street sport bike. It was "only" a 250CC but the speed addiction was very bad. Therefore I hadn't owned a bike in about 20+ years.
I have always loved efficient modes of petrol transport and couldn't resist the PCX with it's excellent fuel efficiency as my commute is only 5.1km each way.
I purchased a 2013, black with under 2,000km's on the dial. I started off by doing it's initial valve adjustment (thanks to this site) and doing it's third oil change and final gear oil change. Fuel injection is terrific!
I will be going on a long ride (about 6 hours each way) into the states. I plan on taking photos along the way (welcome signs at each state). But no worries, plan on taking minor highways to avoid the interstate traffic etc. I'll post some pics when I return.
Seems like a great group of people here and I look forward to being part of the group!
Best,
Scott
