Ed March once took his C90 apart and got it onto a small boat in a couple of large bags. He listed it as "motorcycle parts" which I guess is true and didn't cost him anything. Then reassembled it at the other end. The guy is a legend. It was partly because of him that I got my license and a bike.

Wonderful video, you are an inspiration. I am 62 and first started riding at 16 in England on a Honda 50 moped. In 2007 now living in the USA I got a 1973 Honda CB450 and a 1978 XL125. Last year I had a stroke and during recovery I sold them and got a new Honda Navi, I love the 110cc scooter mechanics with the style and feel of a motorcycle. My rides thus far are under 50 miles each, but I am dreaming of making a much longer trip for the fun and challenge.

Hey Mark. Hope you're doing well mate. I'm almost 61. From England. Started on a Honda moped at 16 also. Now live in the USA. Sound familiar? I went from a Honda F6B 1800 to a Honda ADV150 recently and loving it. I put it on the back of my RV and it's great for running errands or long trips.

Hi Mark, Retired to Ecuador a year ago. Got a NAVI to explore my new home of CUENCA . Upgraded to a Royal Enfield Hunter 350 to visit Peru and Columbia. When ever I get a new motorcycle . I sell the old one. But I just can't let my little buddy go. I did ride the NAVI to a park a hour up the mountains Sometimes only getting 15 miles an hour. Don't know if many NAVI'S have gotten to the speed I was going back down. Hope your doing well!

Change engine oil every 2500 kms.. that can do ourselves...

Along the way, I will gain crucial tools for my journey. My Vespa is a 1981 model (PX) 150CC, and I named it Jefri! In Indonesia, where Vespa culture thrives, the phrase "salam mesin kanan!" holds a deep sense of camaraderie and respect among enthusiasts. It means "greetings to the right engine" and acknowledges the heart of the Vespa and the shared bond among those who appreciate its unique engineering and timeless design. Come to Indonesia and enjoy traveling around our beautiful country!"

When I started thinking about smaller, lighter and simpler, I eventually end up thinking about a bicycle! Although I must say, a 125-250cc commuter bike might be the sweet spot for me on something with an engine. My Honda 225 has done 150k km, over 100k of which was touring, so when it's nearing the end of its life I might load up the panniers, ride it around the world and scrap it at the end of the journey or when it gives up.

My first motorcycle (scooter) was a 1959 Lambretta when I was still too young for a driver's license and got my first citation for riding it on the street anyway. There are a lot of advantages to touring on the smallest bike that will do the job which is basically carrying yourself and ~60-70 pounds of traveling gear at a reasonable speed, say 50 mph. I have toured over 30,000 miles by bicycle so any kind of scooter or motorcycle would be a step up.

Thank you. I just met up with a friend who rode 42,000km from Singapore to UK. He is back for a while. He is 68 year old.

I agree with you I watch several KZbin riders and I can definitely see an advantage on scooter riders , like Pablo isomoff Alaska project on his Honda scooter comped to ichi boots . I ended unsubscribing from ichi boots cause so boring , she went from country to country and all you saw was the same thing , nothing . Where as Pablo you get to see people and culture and the main reason is the transportation he goes a lot slower on his Honda econo . You are doing it the right way .

Hi, I thing the same... I'm planning a trip for south america and the most difficult thing of all is chossing the scooter. I came to the conclusión that the best thing is a lightweight scooter, with simple mechanics, low displacement and air cooling. This guarantees reliability on an extreme trip. My options are: Suzuki Address 110 2019, Honda Elite 125 2015, Suzuki Access 125 2020, Vespa XL or VXL 150, Vespa GTS 300...

Round trip??? That’s awesome! John Ryan did it one way in 86hrs 31 min. My biggest ride on my zuma 125 was 1209 miles in 32hrs 10 min. I was wiped out when I got home

Lovely and inspiring video. I remember seeing a film some time ago about a guy who rode a B.S.A.Bantam 125 from the u.k.to Vietnam just before the war officially kicked off and becoming a famous war photographer. Anyone out there remember the title of the film? Thank you.

I came across your vid as I was looking at vids about the Honda Grom. I thought it might be fun to own and ride, I already own a 2018 Kawasaki Ninja 400 KRT ABS, and a Taiwanese-made (wouldn't buy Chinese-made!) Genuine (brand) "Buddy 50" 49cc motor scooter, which I've totally enjoyed, maintenance-free and very economical, for the last three years. I use the scooter for short, local trips to WalMart and Home Depot (I've a "trunk" - a plastic milk crate). Until I found your video, I was unaware that people traveled the world on "adventure" scooters, I thought that adventure-Groms were cool. Not that I'm going to go globe-hopping on my scooter, I'm wondering if others have done so with only a 49cc scooter? Enjoyed your vid!! Happy trails to you!

Thanks. I know people who have done it on 90cc moped like Ed March of @C90adventures. There is this guy www.carwale.com/pitstop/this-guy-covered-50000-kms-on-a-50cc-scooter-18486/ I honestly think any bike can do such a trip. People have done it on less sophisticated transport like bicycle and even longboard. It is about understanding the bike’s strength and shortcoming and adapting to it.
