Scooter Cannonball 2023 // T-6: Houston, TX to Roswell, NM

[@mlbabineaux]

700 miles in one day...that's a lot, Quasi !

[@KrypticArt]

These are the videos that make me want to ride. Today was christmas for me, picked up my ADV 160. First impressions, I absolutely love riding this thing. Took at the back roads home had some fun on some twists and turns. I think the fastest I hit on the ride was 55 on the first trip. Thank you for the videos you put out, it gave me the bug to get on two wheels again. And honestly I really like the scooter over the motorcycle right now. But I saw a trail 125 at the dealership and was like ooooo that looks like it would be fun too.

[@leerepass9312]

Bought myself an ADV 160 Aug. 3rd. Love it. Conversation starter.

[@Robert-t1p]

Get a 300 or 350 or 400 and carry extra 1.5 liter fuel bottles 3 or four.on trips like this.travel at night in the desert if you can.

[@pubg_god5939]

And so it begins! Looking forward to another year of Scooter Cannonball videos.

[@johnoconnor5581]

I’ve done San Antonio to Roswell several times on a bike, about 525 miles, and even on a BMW I’ve usually been ready to get off the bike at Roswell given the winds and heat of West Texas and NM. I can’t imagine doing 700 miles under those conditions in a 150cc scooter. Tip of the hat to you Sir.

[@Moto350ADV]

I have the Honda ADV 350 and have been wanting to do big mileage trips. Watching this has inspired me that it’s possible and nothing should stop me.

[@Terry_1111]

Wow, 700 miles in one day is hard in a car, so I can imagine how tired you were after doing it on a scooter! I always look forward to your videos! Safe travels to you, always!

[@QuasiMotard]

Thanks for the feedback and support, Terry! I'll have more Cannonball videos edited and published soon! 😉👍 --QM

I drove my GL1800 from Vancouver BC Canada to Thunderbay Ontario approximately 1870. miles no-rest slept 4hrs in wal-mart parking lot . and drove to Sault Ste Marie. Ont. Another 438 miles camped at a KOA (very nice) And Ottawa the next day 500 more miles . A total of over 2800 miles In about 55 hours. My Ironbutt ride. I was running out of my cheap gov. Inslun, had to get home . I drove in smoke from BC fires for over 1000 miles . ✌

[@memdefrag1370]

this made me FEEL like i was actually making the drive, but i imagine the video doesn't do it justice. amazing watch as always man! would love to do this one day once i get all the gear

Agreed! I'm still holding my breath to see if Honda decodes to import the ADV350 into the States. It's a long shot, but that would be a perfect middle weight scooter for commuting and touring! 😉👍 --QM

The head and crosscwinds are BRUTAL crossingbthe mid and southwest! I rode out Route 66 a couple years ago on a Honda Helix CN250 and got taken by surprise by the high, incessant winds. Didn’t help matters that it was carb’d and NOT jetted for altitude. Gasped for air in the Rockies though and needed a lot of maintenance to recover the power after we got home!

[@jonakers704]

With regard to getting passed by cars with their wheels in your lane, I had the same thing happen to me in Arizona on SR64 heading up to the Grand Canyon... TWICE! They had the entire other lane to pass me in, but couldn't be bothered to pull all the way over and give me my space! I just don't get it.

[@jonaubuchon1040]

I wanted to make this comment about the variatior. I saw a KZbin video on changing the final transmission gears. The output shaft is 20% up and the idler gear is 5% up. So. you change them both it would be 25%. (All these numbers are approximate) You could change these gears and leave the variatior stock, as it seems so many problems came from the variator. However the job to replace the gears is much more involved than replacing the variator.

The Scooter Cannonball is an exercise in minimalism... to attempt the ridiculous (or impossible) with the smallest machines possible. The maximum displacement was 279cc (now upgraded to 300cc), so it's a challenge. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

[@QuasiMotard]

Thanks for the feedback and support, Alejandro! Editing and distilling these videos down from 30+ hours of raw footage (3 cameras of 10+ hours each) into digestible 30-minute chunks is definitely a time vampire. Occasionally, if I'm lucky, I'll find a rhythm that's a good compromise between fast-paced action and "boring" ride footage. The trick is keeping continuity between the huge time chunks of video that hit the cutting room floor! 🤣 Stay tuned for more Cannonball videos coming soon! Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

Omg Quasi 700 miles to Rosewell in one day on a scooter good job!

[@MotoMuscleChick]

Hell yeah entertainment at work. I'm so excited to see it and watch it.

[@taebert]

Great video! It is a shame that the mighty PCX didn’t turn out to be as bulletproof as we were hoping. It would be great to see a wrap-up of what failed and whether it was stock Honda parts, or aftermarket parts that caused you problems.

[@QuasiMotard]

Agreed! It was a combination of both OEM and aftermarket parts that proved to be faulty. I'll give my diagnosis as the adventure unfolds on video. The OEM torque drive assembly (driven pulley, clutch, etc) has been suspect since the scooter was new, and that was a good portion of the problem. The Dr.Pulley performance variator did NOT withstand the abuse of Cannonball. I confirmed that at least two of them failed: one on my PCX150 and the other on John's PCX160. They both failed in identical fashion as the center bushing wallowed-out, which permitted the movable face to chatter/wobble on the drive boss. That chatter caused rapid failures of the movable face and shredded CVT belts due to belt slippage, twisting, and overheating. I'm planning to do a full post-mortem and remediation of the PCX in the near future. It's still sitting patiently for me to do the teardown video and then I'll order the replacement parts that I broke or burned out during the trip. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

[@serenitykitty9294]

Woot. The saga begins...

[@belalehner3937]

It’s interesting that your 150 ccm can do 70 mph for a long distance while my PCX 125ccm barely can do 50-55, and 70 for short distances without damaging the engine.That 25 ccm counts a lot.

[@QuasiMotard]

@belalehner3937 That speed difference can also attributed to the Dr.Pulley performance variator and sliders. The sliders bumped my top speed from the factory 62-63 mph (hitting the rev-limiter) up to 67-68 mph. The Dr.Pulley variator pushed the top speed further to 72-74 mph (drag-limited) and 78-79 mph (rev-limited) under ideal circumstances (e.g., downhill or with a tailwind). Unfortunately, the Dr.Pulley variator doesn't hold up to extended high-speed punishment like that, and it failed during this trip. At least one other Scooter Cannonball rider in a PCX160 experienced an identical failure of his Dr.Pulley variator during that trip. Our new perspective is to run the OEM variator and clutch for reliability. The Dr.Pulley sliders give a bit of top speed and efficiency without the risk of variator failure. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

[@QuasiMotard]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm always reluctant to add music to these ride videos, but it certainly gives an extra dimension to the video than just road noise. Finding tracks to match the mood and tempo of the ride takes a lot of research, so that can add significantly to the production times. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

[@nicktung-l7r]

What aftermarket parts r u using to get the higher top-end speed? Is this the same set-up u had b4 that kept braking belts? 😅 I’m in Beaumont tx & I sometimes ride my PCX 150 to Houston & Galveston.

[@QuasiMotard]

This PCX150 has the Dr.Pulley perfomance variator and 13-gram sliders in it. That setup was reliable for nearly 10K miles, but the Cannonball finally killed the variator flying across the Mojave Desert on Day 1 of the Run: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXTFlISjn9CBeac . I limped along with it for 2 more days after that until I realized that the variator was causing the CVT belts to fail. I'll have more Scooter Cannonball videos coming soon! 😉👍 --QM

[@ettiennetmalbroughjr9284]

Great videos! What happened to the cub?

[@QuasiMotard]

Thanks for the feedback! The Super Cub still lives in my stable... it'll probably never need a new home. I still ride it occasionally for relaxed back road touring and the occasional road trip. I haven't been riding it too much lately because I need to open the engine and inspect the timing chain tensioner and idler wheel. These little 125's are known to whittle down the timing idler wheel after about 15K hard miles, which can cause premature engine failure. My Cub is still running fine, but the top end sounds a little bit noisy. Adrian's Cub (now my second one) is much rougher... it's down on power and doesn't sound healthy at all. So, I'll tear into that one first to see how badly worn it is. I might upgrade it with a mild big-bore kit (143cc with the PCX150 fuel injector) to see how that performs. After I know what to expect, then I'll dig into my Cub's engine to refresh it. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

The pcx is a good scooter but it's underpowered for the open road a 250 or higher will get you down the road a little better

[@QuasiMotard]

Agreed, but that wasn't the objective for this ride. The Scooter Cannonball Run is an exercise in the ridiculous. It's an endurance event where the smaller/older scoots have better points handicap in scoring. I have plenty of larger/faster motorcycles and scooters, but these small-bore adventures are more challenging! 😉👍 --QM

[@cargo71]

Hi. You´re becoming my hero, doing those trips with the PCX (which I don´t have but it´s in my bucket list). How many miles do you do with one tank? Greetings from Argentina

[@jonasmeier417]

Hello Quasi & People: I'm a newbie. Why this scooter? Are there other scooters that are good for touring? How many miles did this scooter run in total? Average yearly cost? Which brand/model is the trailer? How much did it cost? Is it compatible with Honda PCX 150 or only models/brands?

[@QuasiMotard]

Howdy! The Scooter Cannonball is an endurance challenge for scooters (and qualifying small motorcycles) under 300 cc's. My scoot for this year was a 2015 Honda PCX150; it's known to be a very reliable machine, but it's not designed for touring. I started this trip with ~9600 miles on the clock, and it finished with ~15K miles. Operating costs for these scooters are minimal, and it usually gets around 100 MPG! Better long-distance scooters are in the 300+ cc category, such as the Honda Forza 300, Yamaha XMAX 300, Suzuki Burgman 400, Honda SilverWing 600, etc. Those larger "maxi-scooters" offer more power and stability for long-haul comfort. The trailer on Neil's silver Yamaha SMAX 155 is a custom-fabricated creation. Neil is a mad scientist fabricator and welder, so he builds all of his own accessories for scooter touring. The mounts for that trailer are also custom pieces, so it's not directly compatible with any other scooters (although Neil could certainly fabricate something). Cheers, and let us know if you have any other questions! 😉👍 --QM

[@NawafRides]

Hey man, how do maintain chin mount in place in hot weather? Mine keeps falling (adhesive fails) the 2nd time it gets exposed to sunlight and heat.

[@QuasiMotard]

Great question! I've had very good luck with this particular mount ( SUREWO Aluminum Helmet Chin Mount: amzn.to/4780Bq9 ). It comes with a heavy-duty 3M VHB adhesive pad on the mount that hasn't failed me yet. I cleaned the helmet surface with alcohol before I mounted the adhesive pad so it securely bond with the surface. I used a C-clamp to maintain high pressure (10-15kg force) on the bracket for about 5 minutes to be sure that it was cured in place. So far, it hasn't failed in the past 12+ months... even after a 35 mph ( 56 km/h) chin bounce on gravel! kzbin.info/www/bejne/npfYho2ujs98ars The only complaint that I have with this mount is that the anodizing isn't very robust. It started as a satin-black color, but the sun exposure has bleached it out to a bronze/gold color now after about a year of constant use. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

[@dcijams]

after watching some of your videos, and having your belts brake, (question) can the final drive be changed to a chain?

[@QuasiMotard]

Not easily (or at all). The variable front and rear pulleys in the CVT transmission allow the v-belt to slide up/down to create infinite drive (gear) ratios. Replacing the belt with a chain would also require some kind of transmission to replace those pulleys to provide variable ratios. I've mused on that topic during several of my Scooter road trips. It would be interesting to replace the entire CVT with a 4- or 5-speed transmission and a centrifugal clutch, similar to how the Honda Super Cub operates. The direct-coupled transmission and chain drive would gain reliability and reduce driveline losses from the heat & friction in the v-belt design. The obvious downsides are added weight and complexity. 🤔 --QM

[@dcijams]

So what are you going to be riding on next year’s cannonball run?

[@QuasiMotard]

I still haven't decided which steed I'll be riding for the 2025 SCBR. If I don't buy a new scoot for the event, then I'll decide between the Super Cub (again), CT125, or the PCX150 (again). The Navi is still rattling around in the back of my brain, but the speed & fuel logistics for that might be too much to manage. 😉👍 --QM

And I thought 400km in one day on a 50cc was bad here in Holland. Much respect!🫡

Greetings from the USA! 400 km's on a 50cc is hard work because it's so slow! 👊👍 Our traffic speeds here in the States are so fast and frantic that it's difficult (and dangerous) to ride 50cc scooters on pubilc roadways. I have a 2008 Yamaha C3 (XF50) scooter and a 2022 Honda Navi 110... both of them struggle to keep up with our crazy cagers here in Texas. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
