Here is something from the geos-5 satellite;

Professional weather forecast

There is a time slider at the left bottom of the page, you can move and zoom the map by dragging.
And if you click and/or drag on a spot it gives you the co value, i have seen over 4000 on one occasion.

Mrs. Gone's job is going to be changing from 100% tele-medicine to performing some home visits to patients around Orange County. She'd be able to do most of that without using freeways. Last night she started asking if a scooter might be a good idea. We bought the little CB300 for her to learn on, but why am I seeing another little set of wheels in my garage sometime soon. I did get to tool around on a new Navi last week...

The 2015+ Honda PCX150 is incredibly "hop 'n' go". There is no thought to ready it and onboard storage is abundant. Cost of ownership is a non-issue. Top speed: About 112 km/h in stock form. Urban maneuverability is unmatched.

My Honda Ct125 would disagree.:banana:

The Honda Monkey would be even better, but none of the latter have any practical and secured built in storage, ... amongst other attributes.
 
that's really the crux of the issue...the Monkey has no storage **and** you have to operate a clutch, which makes it worse in traffic and other urban situations. the PCX 150 and the CT125 have no clutch, so they're in a tier above for urban maneuverability. The thing is, my CT125 has far more storage than a PCX150.....so so much more lol. Also it has auxiliary fuel storage, so the range is quite a bit longer.
 
The PCX150 has deep storage for the practical rider, and it is secure. In addition, I didn't even mention the rider adding a 35L top box - which really isn't needed - but just adds more.

The PCX150 is not good for off-road (even if light). I wouldn't bother. Its strength lies in urban use - like L.A.
 
Wierdly, the CT125s strength is also urban use, which is why i mentioned it. It dresses up as an off road machine but requires **significant** modification to fill that role effectively, while its real strength in stock configuration is an urban utility vehicle. Its actually better as an urban vehicle than its own variant, which is supposedly intended for Urban use (the C125 Super Cub)
 
I bet the CT125 has a superior power transfer feel to the PCX150.

Like most scooters, there is an initial lag at motion start-up that is annoying. However, once power and load "sync up" (seconds), it is a sling shot - if required.
 
Kind of...it's at least chain drive, so the pull is really snappy. I can also gently apply pressure to the shifter lever in gear and it acts like a clutch, allowing me to load revs and launch, or spin tires depending on the surface. the PCX has the same power train and motor as the new ADV150 and I know for a fact that thing smokes my CT125.
 
We have a fleet of 2008ish-2010ish Kymco 150 scooters in our event trailers that we use to get things done on large properties. A few are used only by the bosses and are hands-off - woe betide the newbie that grabs one of these. The others are held together with duct tape but still run. They are a hoot, and I'll grab one of them when I need to get somewhere quickly and need to squeeze somewhere that a golf cart won't fit.

Taking a quick look, even used scooters are expensive right now - a used PCX150 is over $3k near me on Craig's. Speaking of scooters, anyone check out FortNine's latest video?

lol - Arlet is lost.



Nice find Gone!

Yeah, PCX150 fuel costs are ultra low, maintenance cost ultra low, and no oil burning, and etc.
 
Yes … but how did Ryan know about RLETs?
