Modern Vespa

The world of moto vlogging needed a scooto vlogger to offset the madness.

Warning, there is momentary "religious" content in the video. If you're that thin skinned that such things offend you or make you feel threatened, don't watch. If you want to discuss that aspect of the video, please do not do so on this forum. You may talk about it in the comments on Youtube if you really feel you must.

I had to be in Lancaster City yesterday, so I did a little tour of the place. It's a bit scattered, and for that I apologize.

I took my PCX around Lancaster Amish country yesterday, about a three hour ride all told. It didn't skip a beat. I ended up with a migraine, but hey.

For those who may be following this, my helmet cam died and is out for replacement. I'll probably do another vlog soon with just the handlebar cam.

Thanks all who have watched.

Did a quick vid about highway riding on a small scooter. Hope you enjoy it!

A couple of thoughts Paul.

1) I've ridden the Interstate on my 250 scooter at 62 to 64 mph and get passed like I'm standing still BUT I also drive the interstate in my car with the GPS and cruise set at 66 mph and get passed like I'm standing still. Even on 55 mph sections.

2) Two weeks ago I took the 750 Kawasaki on a long ride in one night.

Guess what? Even on a high powered machine I was passed at 70 mph like I was standing still.

I totally agree with you on wind buffeting from Trucks. Even on my 400 pound scooter the blast of a passing truck can move me over. Not so, even on the Honda Rebel. That's not to mention the effect of cross and head winds from Mother Nature. Climbing a steep hill into a headwind can slow me down on the scooter by several miles per hour.

I've ridden the Interstate on a Chinese 150 for short spells but I don't make a habit of it.

But I agree. The Interstate is no place to be on a 150cc scooter but then a Yamaha SMax seems to handle it so Horsepower is an important factor.

Right, of course any vehicle will be passed at those speeds, the point was, on a 150, if you're going 60+ you've reached the top end. When you've got no more room to move the speedo needle and a Peterbilt wants to pancake you, that's a lot different than being on a 250 or higher cc machine with a bit of top end left to move out of the way. This was my point.

My PCX will do 60+ for miles and miles, though it's a bit loud at that point. It really comes down to safety more than anything else.

I don't know if I ever recounted the story of getting blown off the road on my Kymco several years back. That was something else. I managed to stop the machine just at the edge of the berm before I ended up in a ditch. Good times.
