the plan.
to tour the area above auckland on the 50cc yamaha jog seen in the "scooter culture" video.
im getting it all loaded up now.
il bring my film gear too.

i would be grateful for any place to stay, however, i will have a tent!

this will all be done for one week~ and will cost as little as possible.

il post a contact detail on here before i go

Sounds like fun. Is there a twist to this? Possibly you are doing the entire tour on the rear wheel?:clap:

This sounds 'gay' but it would not be a bad idea to get one of those big flags kids often have on their pushbikes fitted to the Jog - out where you are going they will not be looking for scooters (are they ever:dodge:). You could always draw a skull & crossbones on the flag :headbang:

Have fun, and keep us posted.

well, so far, i have a 1person tent, a sleeping bag, and i may get a small gas can for it, but the aim is, to do it as cheaply as possible, it just keeps raining though.
there will be no camera man, just me

Fuck, you're brave on a 50cc. At least by the time you get back you would've earned yourself some good street cred.

Bring an iPod loaded with songs, it's gonna be a long and scenic journey....

Shit loads of places to crash if you're Aucks.

Take back/secondary roads. You will enjoy it more.
Hell, do via gravel roads (like coast rd to Pt waikato etc) and you will reach cult status overnight, and all the boys will love you.

well, im in auckland staying with my kind host morcs.
the trip on the motorway took 3.5 hours, riding on a stip of ashaplt a foot wide, on one side is speeding traffic, on the other is a 2cm drop, where the seal ends, and on 10 inch wheels, it throws the laden scooter around quite badly.
so far so good, its harder on my arse than my last video.

im heading north today, after a ride around auckland!

well, i made it!
i spent day one riding around auckland till about 1pm on Morcs bikes.
i made it from auckland to kaitia that day (9 hours)
the next day (yesterday) i made it from kaitia to the cape, then back to kaitia, whangerei, and down to orewa. (15 hours riding straight)

90 mile beach was hard going on the way back, the tide came in and i rode at 25kph-10 on soft sand for about 2 hours, i binned it once.
the scooter got up the stream pretty well.
on the gravel it was pretty uber.
Some people thought the ruts in the road from 90 mile to the cape were too rough, and it wouldn't make it.
the scooter sits in the garage of sixpackback.
i would like to give my heartfelt thanks to morcs, the locals at kaitia, sixpackback, and all my stand in camera crews.

the movie will be uber, with a max speed of 55kph

yeah, its parked up top the hill, on tapu land

Awesome achievement. Did you manage to pull the front up?

I accidentally wheelied my old scoot once, but couldn't stay on the back.
Too much throttle starting off, and the exhaust had just been modded.
The front shot up straight away...scooter was bouncing around the carpark in circles while I held on running behind it.
Thankfully I eventually managed to lay it down on the ground without hitting any cars...:sweatdrop
