scooter trip to alabama

[duallyman]

1000 mile round trip on pcx to mobile alabama
back in february really windy temperatures in the 30s

From where? I use to live in Mobile, and the winter cold there is a damp cold, which makes it bad to ride in. When I lived in New Orleans I sometimes rode my motorcycle up to Atlanta, Georgia in the winter. When I reached Mobile the damp wind would cut right through me. I can't imagine riding a little pcx that far in the winter.

Do you have your route planned and are you going to post it here so you can see your fellow PCXers along the way?

[duallyman]

Yes I'm gonna be using.aca route southern and northern tier and Atlantic trail for the west half pacific coast half cascade trail plus detours to all the national parks and famous landmarks like Golden Gate Bridge Hoover dam Statue of Liberty Lincoln memorial and others and diamond state park in arkansas
Where. I'll be camping couple days trying my luck I'm gonna be stealth camping most of the time
Cooking my own meal everyday I have fishing rod reel and gold panning kit also
My scooter has 8000 miles on it I plan to ride about 15000 to 17000 miles

I want to get into scooter camping. I have a lightweight eno hammock that takes no time at all to pitch and is comfortable to sleep in

I hope you don't have the original seat on your PCX. It will get very uncomfortable. I put a custom seat on mine and my wife's and we find that we can ride longer and feel less stressed. I also hope you have figured out where to get new tires and service. I found that many places don't have the specific size tires the PCX uses. A rear tire will last about 8,000 miles. A front will last about twice that. Here is an interesting thought. Buy some online and have them sent to friend's places along the route. Recently I had to replace the rear tire on my wife's bike. I bought a City Grip online for $51.26... That same tire was over $100 at the dealer. You are going to need 2 of them. Something to think about.

thanks for the advice since im at 8000 miles im gonna change rear tyre the seat is comfortable enough for me
is that ebay or amazon? did you put the tyre on yourself
