Mrs. Ferret has been my passenger since 1972. All over the US, Canada and Europe. In fall 2021, after two replacement knees and one replacement hip, she decided she could no longer mount and dismount a regular motorcycle, nor ride long distances. This was the reason I traded my FJR in on the NC 750X. Last October she had the other hip replaced. She's totally bionic now lol.

Well, she has been grousing about not being able to ride, told me to sell her gear etc, which I refused to do, holding out hope she could ride with me again someday. At one time she had a Majesty 400 scooter she liked a lot, but eventually didn't ride it enough to keep it, so we traded it in on our Quad with snow blade. I suggested we go up and look at scooters again. Neither Honda nor Yamaha makes a maxi scooter anymore, but she took a liking to the Honda PCX 150 scooter even though the "tunnel" is not as deep as it was on her Majesty which makes it a little harder for her to mount/dismount. She only intends to take short rides with me on the backroads around our county, at speeds in the 45-55 mph range (the PCX is rated for 70 mph, but I doubt if it will do much over 60).

After an hour's test ride, she decided it would do, and proceeded to make a deal on it. Yesterday we picked it up and brought it home.





Raining today, and grandkids might have baseball games this weekend, so it might be next week before she gets to actually ride it lol. Will be nice to be able to ride with her again.

I like it. Looks great!

Congrats to Mrs. Ferret & Co. White is beautiful.
Since this is Honda, must write a few words in What did you do with.. other bike section
There is some room for RLET

Congrats to Mrs. Ferret. Now you need a trailer hitch for the Mustang so you can trailer down to this year's rally!

Excellent, excellent, excellent choice Mrs. Ferret.

I have a Honda PCX150 and the spouse loves it. I use it a lot for hop 'n' go errands due to its vast storage, economy and easy maneuverability in an urban setting (free parking tucked away on sidewalks!).

It seems to have no problem sustaining 112 km/h on the freeway (throttle about pinned), but we all know this is somewhat extreme. Nevertheless, the little Honda just takes it.

Congratulations!

Is it a 2022 or 2023 model year?

2022. I rode it home for her yesterday and at 45 mph the gauge was reading 87 mpg lol

not this again. Sports cars don't get trailer hitches!

Those scooters are great and have surprising performance for their size. I test rode one last year and was impressed.
Wow! That lady has been through a lot with the knees and hips.
I have a steel shoulder so I'm a bit bionic too

That's awesome! Congrats on the bike and hope you both enjoy many, many rides together.

Love the new scooter! Does this mean that Cheryl and I might get to ride with her next time we're in the area? Hope so!

I'm not sure if I want to debate a) whether hitches can go on sports cars or b) whether a Mustang convertible is a sports car (no matter how fast Di drives).

Keep 'em riding as much as possible.

My pard'ner in action ...
