Off To See The Lizard

Over the years I have ridden different bikes out to Deals Gap. A notorious stretch of road that offers a stimulating ride. It has earned the name "The Tail of the Dragon" http://imageshack.us/a/img809/9797/009fpk.jpg Yesterday offered perfect weather for a solo jaunt out to the West so the...

Seat Time

After a looong dry spell away from the scoots, I had a chance to get out for a ride today up to Lake Lure. http://imageshack.us/a/img547/4297/011fla.jpg It was a beautiful day and there were a lot of folks out enjoying it. Plenty of motorcycles but I think I was the only scooter rider around. :ugeek...

Hanging Around

Some where I saw a post by Maddidog about a camping trip to the North Georgia mountains. He mentioned spending the night in a hammock rig with the pup, listening to bears and other creatures go bump in the night. Fans of hammock camping sometimes call it "hanging". If you go "scamping...

Re: Hello from Jville

"Don't let the Buckman bite."when you come. ;) Yes the BRP is one of the top roads to ride for sure. Takes me about an hour to get up to the parkway from my home. An Ascot,eh? Were or are you a member of FSSNOC? That was one of the favorite thumpers seen at rallys around the country. Our P...

Re: Hello from Jville

Welcome to the land of smiles, Burt. I have been working my way down from larger bikes to scooters and have a lot more reasons to be grinning. I am in Jax every other two weeks but my PCX is in North Carolina. :cry: Working on an easy way to bring it down while here. If you need an excuse to ride, c...

Re: moped/scooter/motorbike ?

One thing it is not....."Likker Sikle". A term used around here to identify 50cc mopeds that do not require insurance, tag or driver's license. Most often ridden by drunks who have lost their operator permit. :lol:

Re: Today's Quick Pic

Spring time and Ramps in the mountains. The Ramps are ready.....small, pungent; a cross between garlic and wild onion. The mountain folk use them in many dishes. I like them in my eggs. The Cherokee would let the babies gnaw on them. When the wee one would wake in the night, mother could find it by ...

Re: Honda PCX side Car PIMP MY PCX

I mounted a Vespa side car on my Allstate Cruzair (Vespa Clone by Sears) many years ago. Quite an experience, indeed! Imagine five lads on the rig; three in tandem on the scoot and two on/in the hack leaving the school parking lot for the nearest drive in. One on the side car and the last one on the...

Re: Day One with my new PCX 150 !

You are in for a lot of fun. I too am a "seasoned" rider. My recently purchased PCX125 has been making me grin. :D Just rode up and over Ceaser's Head on the SC/NC border yesterday. My friends who were riding with me said "you may have moved down in displacement but have moved up on t...

Re: movin on up

Apologies for suggesting turning that scooter into a "skelly". It would be criminal to abuse one as nice as that. :oops:
Do it to a beater.....maybe.

Re: I am convinced!

Thanks! Unfortunately, I am working in Jacksonville for the next three weeks with no bike. :cry: I'm usually here every other two weeks and it cuts into my riding time. Spring was busting out all over in the mountains when I left and it was hard to leave. So many roads to ride and too little time. W...

Shredder, this is near Columbus/Tryon NC. The foothills of South Carolina are to the East and the North Carolina Mtns to the West. Excellent back roads cruizing and the Blue Ridge Parkway is about 40 miles away. 8)

And more....... A good day out.. Just got back from a nice ride to further evaluate the PCX 125. The temps broke 50f with blue skies and few wind gusts like yesterday. Heading down to town I have to ride on roads like this.... ;) http://imageshack.us/a/img819/479/007ai.jpg The GPS was on and I went ...
