Birmingham Scooter Syndicate

Alright Y'all, Monday morning I am scooter-bound for the west, a few changes of underwear as my luggage, a credit card as my cash, and the sun as my GPS. I expect to make a three-day trip of it. Hopefully LisaLisa can post some photos here. Myers has crawled all over the bike and pronounced it fit.

If it all works out I hope to hook up with San Antonio Scooterati to drop down to the Border and officially roll around in Old México.

More updates as they come.

Got the scooter packed. Everything fits under the seat except a duster I rolled up and bungeed to the back for that "Just driftin' through, Sheriff" look. Took it out and did a shakedown cruise of about 40 miles. Nothing flapped or rattled, but the seat cushion I bought a year ago for long rides has got to go; it might be soft on the butt, but it makes me sit a little bit higher and believe it or not that is just enough to throw out my back and distract me.

I was also trying to ride around so that my odometer lined up at "...420" for the start tomorrow so I could remember how far I'd gone, but at 418 I said screw it and went home to drink beer.

his post says 3 days... and i think a couple changes of underwear wouldn't last 3 months Razz

i guess he could go to a laundromat

Are you going as Rodrigo Diaz de Bivar or as Walter? Either way, have a safe and exciting trip.

Good Luck and have a safe trip.

I'd probably still take my GPS..as I'd probably end up in South America thinking I'm in Mexico...knowing my sense of direction.
