Bikers' Banter

I've put a bid on a 2021 1,400 mile one on Fleabay. The seller is only a few miles from me so fingers crossed.
Plan is if i get this it will surfice for the time being. I will then go down to Smiths Honda of Chester and order a new one. They say 6 to 8 weeks delivery.................but we know they tell lies, but it wont matter as i'll have one to play with whilst waiting.

You could always take it to JHS for an oil change... that shouldn't take more than 6-8 weeks......

In F1 they service a car in about 2.5 secs

BTW, i'm still the highest bidder on the Ebay PCX. It ends bout 5pm tonight.

It's so exciting when you are bidding and watching the time tick away...... Good luck Bob......... i buy Coins and Bars on Ebay, the trick is to set a limit, wait patiently till the near end then stick a larger bid in with a few seconds to spare that way you will probably win because the other bidders will have no time to respond.... I do get some bargains at times..........

Bransons have some Forzas but the PCX Deliveries are patchy, apparently.... I went in yesterday and chatted to a couple of the chaps. the Forzas look huge ! wouldn't fancy lifting that on the back....

Breaking news.
I am now the owner of a 2021 1,600 mile Honda PCX 125. £3,200
Picked it up on the MH. All good.
Insured it with Bennetts. £141 to include EU riding................being the whole point of buying it.
Monday i will go down to Smiths and order a new one.

Well done you..... it's great when you win a bid..... is it a good Bike ? do you need to replace it ? i hope you both get good use of it on your travels............

The scoot is ok but don't like the colour, it's a sort of deep metallic dark grey thing.
And it's it's a temporary ownership as i will buy a new one in the correct colour.......being white.
