Hey guys...I'm going to try to enter this with either my trike (which I know will be in top condition) or my little TaoTao 50cc. Oddly enough, my daughter, her ex-husband, and my 2 oldest grandsons(23 & 21) are going to sponsor their gramma so she can go. ;-) Anyone else going?

male-velina, did you know that south lake tahoe is 12hours away from San Diego california?...coming from phoenix, it should be 14hrs...please don't tell us that you are riding your Ice bear for 14hrs, first thing you should do is to get the AMA roadside assistance,,that's a must if you're riding a chinese vehicles..lol.


i had a great time------>

well, a vespa gtv 300 was able to make it to tahoe from sd with ease...i doubt if cyburgers 150cc Vespa can do it...LOL
definitely a Silverwing can do it(halfway)..lol

[malevelina]

Thanks Cyborg.

Luke:
First, my daughter and I will trailer whichever bike I decide to ride in Tahoe. Luke...You would understand that Luke since it would seem that the only pics we see of your bike, it's on a trailer.

Second, we'll be leaving from Orange County not San Diego and we like to go places. It's not the distance, it's the adventure.

Third, I decided, if I go, to ride my little blue 49cc. She's never given me any problem and I;m confident that it will do just fine. ;-)

BTW Luke, thanks for the AMA tip. I've been looking for roadside assistance for my bikes and haven't found anything affordable yet. I'll check out the AMA.

Malevelina, I got Good Sam Roadside Assistance when my stepsons started College and I wasn't there to stand over their cars. It includes both car and motorcycle coverage and it's waaay cheaper than Triple A. I'm paying $80 a year for coverage for four of us.

The Tao Tao should be just fine. The 50cc GY6 is a solid, Japanese reliable, engine and Tao Tao started as an ATV company and saw all the abuse silly Americans can heap on a vehicle.

Two tips though. 1) You should take the Tao Tao out on at least a 100 mile ride before then to see what pains you and fix it. Three Hundred and twenty miles is a trip and I had more than a few aches and pains the first time I did it in my 20s.

2)Absolutely get one of these!!! No joke, it's the difference between agony and enjoyment.

This backrest business on a scooter or bike is a lame imitation. A kidney belt gives you all the lower back support you need and keeps you innards from squashing each other. Experienced motorcycle Tourers won't leave home without one.
Extremely important, life saving, No kidding at all. If Luke had one of these his trailer would end up on Craigslist.

Thanks Kz. I'm going to look into Good Sam. I need it for both my bikes. I'll also look into the kidney belt. Still not sure if I'm even going yet, but I'm going to try. It basically depends on my daughter's work schedule and if she can get a few days off at that time. I'm 60 years old and still have a lot of fire inside me and I want to go places and do things. Have my bucket lest all made out...LOL.
