**carver** · 3rd January 2009, 12:32

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

i made it-see the photo later in the thread!

see the movie here

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

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

). You could always draw a skull & crossbones on the flag

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.
