This blog began when I road in the 2008 Scooter Cannonball Run, a coast to coast endurance event held every two years. I've continued using it for other long distance touring trips on the scooter.


SPOT Adventure Tracker for July 4th NH Trip

Made it Home from NH

We made it back, one day ride, about 410 miles. No issues, traffic was surprisingly light.

Road about 80 miles on the Taconic State Parkway, I enjoyed it, Lisa did not. It def. is a motorcycle deathtrap. Cars randomly pull out from no where, exits are not really marked, little signage. At night I imagine there would be 1000s of deer.

Washed up the scooter. I am at another service internal, engine oil, hub oil, belt, headlight, few other items. I made a list of replacement screws to order. Winter riding in the northeast, salt, anti-ice sprays, etc... really corrodes everything. I don't have the time or patience to go shopping for stainless steel stuff.

One of the two exhaust studs + nut that hold the exhaust to the header is completely missing. Add that to the list.

A few more photos and a route track to follow in coming days, work to catch up with first.
