Little Rock to Jacksonville... And back. 50cc scooter. Honda Metropolitan

Circa 2017 (most likely september). You can see the inside of the River City Cycles Little Rock, me picking a scooter in a showroom and going to Jacksonville location to do some repairs.
Old school, no internet on the phone, no GPS, only a printout of Google Directions.
Mostly nostalgic video.
Oh yeah, that Honda Met had a Bob Marley sticker in the front and I def felt the vibe.

The best memories of my life was when I took a trip from zLubbock, Tx. To Baja California. Highway 1 was still complete so I went up Highway 1 to the Oregon border, back down to Route 66 to Amarillo, Tx. And finished back in Lubbock. The trip took three weeks. Back then I slept on picnic tables at the rest stops most of the time. My bike was a Suzuki GT380, it was brand new. Maybe had 200 miles on it when I started. I would give anything to have had a video of that trip.

Nowaday's 50 cc scooter technology is enough suffucient and developed to offer a pleasant experience in the city and suburban.

I own 3 bikes one of which is a metro and I would not want to ride this far on it but I would if I had to! But I’m older so it hurts my back more when your young you can go all day and night on one I used to! I was doing enduro by 14.

This almost full throttle speed doesn't damages the engine?

Well that was just click bait. There isn’t a person that watches this that doesn’t think Jacksonville, Florida. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Get yourself a pair of riding gloves and wear them. When you go down your natural instinct is to catch yourself, and at that point your hands become road crayons. I have seen the results twice and it is not pretty.

@IvanBobrov09001 6 ай бұрын

Yes I am wearing gloves everyday now. Check my other videos. Cheers ;)
