I met Alex few days ago, when I picked up my Sym scooter. We briefly talked about Cannonball. I would make my contribution to supporting him to accomplish this dream he has. Hope other friends, fans and even SYM, would do their best to send him and Donnie to USA.

Hey Quasi! I'm registered for 2025 and I'm pretty excited. Since you were so "successful" on your PCX I'm taking mine. However, I've learned the value of OEM parts thanks to you.

I have been watching both your and Alexs channel for some time now and to see you do the cannonball together is a welcome surprise! Looking forward to hearing more about your plans on which bike you are taking:)

Thanks again for info coming up on 2025 SCBR and new friend and shipping of his scooter to your home! Mr. Aaron 🍻

So cool ! I need to do this from 🇨🇭

Just thinking out loud here. The company Granger makes heavy duty belts. Should look into them to see if they make a belt. That’s the size of your scooters belt. It would be longer lasting and you won’t get stranded on the side of the highway with a shredded Belt.

In 1988 Goldwings got a reverse gear. Today they’re all electronic. In a decade they’ll be self-riding. 😂

I've owned 4 Goldwings, but they were all the older GL1100 and GL1200 models before Honda added the electric reverse. I don't miss trying to back those heavy beasts out of parking spaces, especially uphill! 🤣👍 --QM

Your Silverwing would be great to see.

I saw that on his channel. That's gonna be great. Wilcer is gonna be doing it too. 3 of my favorite channels.

I have been wanting you to take the CT125 for the 2023 SCBR. I i wanna see how that trail cub stand up against the rougher roads

Because its a temporary trip. Importing and using a bike from Europe is fairly easy. Insurance is probably the hardest part. I see travelers with European plates in New England on occasion.

Hi Quasi, I was seriously looking at coming over from Australia to do the '25 Cannonball, but couldn't make it work time wise mainly because I would want to stay over around 6-8 weeks to allow prep time before and to do a bit of touring after the event. So 2027 will be the year. I did do quite a bit of homework re either taking a scooter over vs buying one over there. It was no real drama bringing a scooter over, a Broker will do most of the hard work required at both ends. You do need to apply for an EPA temporary exemption re emissions compliance before shipping, as well as temp import permits etc. Cost wise, it is cheaper to get the help of someone you know and buy a new ADV etc in the US, use it and sell when you are done. Even if you take a bit of a bath on the sale afterwards. There are advantages in bringing your own fully prepped scooter over but from Aust at least, the 2 way trip is pricey.

My 2012 Honda Goldwing had a reverse. They actually showed a movie of the bike going backwards up a flight of stairs at 1 mile an hour.

might reach out to @itchyboots as she shipped her CRF300Rally into South America, but then rode up to Alaska.

Good video! I'm still trying to figure out. What I'm going to do for the 2025 SCB. Ship the scoot or ride the scoot? Either way I'm just going to ride, but not for points.

I'm glad to see you riding the rebel more now that you have that seat installed

You should reach out to SYM USA. Maybe they would sponsor you since you have a reasonable following and combining with SYM Romania publicity. They have 4 scoots here that would be good options. Only 1 with ABS I think though. At least one has combined front rear braking though. 😳😬

That's a great idea! Maybe they'll be interested in sponsoring a couple of loaner scoots for both of us to ride across the USA?! 🤔 --QM

​@@QuasiMotardif you get the Jet14 200 it has the same drive train as my Donnie and I mean identical we can share spare parts :))

It’s really not that expensive to ship a scooter from the UK to the U.S. The biggest hurdle and expense will be the EPA compliances.

I don't know........shipping is very pricy now.....plus dealing w customs....... Buy a new one US, ride it , then $ell it; probably cheaper?

ok i have been looking and can not find the video of what GPS you have. i'm ready to buy one now and want the same one you have because its proven to be good. so i need the info on what one to get unless you think their is a better one out there. and i know now as bad as i want to there is no way i will be able to do the 2025 cannon ball. but maybe i can meet you somewhere once you it Texas and finish the ride with you. i have to get another truck.

The Garmin Zumo XT is a fantastic GPS unit if you can justify the ~$450 price tag: amzn.to/3Oai7Ba . I purchased mine on sale closer to $400, so you might watch for price drops. You can also get it certified-refurbished at a lower price: amzn.to/4eRsp5V . Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

🤘🏼

Where would you even buy a Piaggio MP3 in Texas?

Does Suzuki Sell a Burgman 200 in the USA

Wouldn't it just be cheaper and easier to buy a bike in the states rather than ship it ? Buy it, ride it, and sell it.

I suggested that option to Alex, but he has sentimental attachment to his Sym scooter. He's determined to ride THAT scooter across the USA (twice), and then try something different for the next big trip. 😉👍 --QM
