I AM THE BIG KAHUNAS-I MADE IT!!!

[newguy]

I made it to Auburn CA. on Sunday, July 24 2011!
The trip from Wyoming was wonderful, True there were some problems along the way. I broke a drive belt just north of Parker AZ. That held me up for a week. Then it was off to Las Vegas!
(The strip is alot longer) than I rememer it 25 years ago.
Then I went west to Parump NV. where I gassed up,Spent the night. The next day, I made it to Tonapah on 1 tank of gas.
130 mi. it only used about 9/10 of a gallon. The muffler blew out when I hit the California line. The bike has a new cruising speed of 55 miles per hour ;D :)Really happy about this new noise emminateing from back there. Sounds like a Hardly to me!!
Bike is running great. Eliminate the Air filter, Then gut muffler.
You will gain gas mileage and more top end. My gas mi. more than doubled, My top end gained 15-25 MPH easily. Comming off
a hill, I hit 75 MPH but that was wide open. Ohh Almost forgot
the windshield blew off on ther strip in Vegas. (That's where it stayed too)

Sounds like a wild trip, takes some guts to ride a scooter that far. You wont gain 15-25 mph with gutting the muffler and changing air filters, thats just not possiable, i would say 10mph if your lucky. Im assuming you have a chinese scooter ?, then your speedo is off at leas 6-10 mph to fast, so 55mph is like 50 really.

Glad you made it. I was worried about you as you quit posting for a while.

Now you belong to an elite group of scootering weirdo's. I'm one too, but all my friends just think i'm crazy for going long distance on a scooter. lol.

Now what. Are you staying in Cally.

So glad you made it Newguy. Thought about you while I was on my long ride. But my ride only lasted 2 weeks and I had a Silver Wing 600 to ride. You left before me and were riding a smaller scoot. You also had more serious problems than I did. It is difficult to plan for all eventualities. I guess that is what makes a long ride an adventure.
