Little Rock to Jacksonville... And back. 50cc scooter. Honda Metropolitan

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Circa 2017 (most likely september). You can see the inside of the River City Cycles Little Rock, me picking a scooter in a showroom and going to Jacksonville location to do some repairs.
Old school, no internet on the phone, no GPS, only a printout of Google Directions.
Mostly nostalgic video.
Oh yeah, that Honda Met had a Bob Marley sticker in the front and I def felt the vibe.

    The best memories of my life was when I took a trip from zLubbock, Tx. To Baja California. Highway 1 was still complete so I went up Highway 1 to the Oregon border, back down to Route 66 to Amarillo, Tx. And finished back in Lubbock. The trip took three weeks. Back then I slept on picnic tables at the rest stops most of the time. My bike was a Suzuki GT380, it was brand new. Maybe had 200 miles on it when I started. I would give anything to have had a video of that trip.

    I own 3 bikes one of which is a metro and I would not want to ride this far on it but I would if I had to! But I’m older so it hurts my back more when your young you can go all day and night on one I used to! I was doing enduro by 14.

    Get yourself a pair of riding gloves and wear them. When you go down your natural instinct is to catch yourself, and at that point your hands become road crayons. I have seen the results twice and it is not pretty.
