My girlfriend and I decide to go for a ridiculous scooter adventure. And I think we accomplished that. We jumped on our 49cc Yamaha C3 Scooter, completely overloaded it, and then rode it over the Mountains in BC, from Vancouver, BC, Canada, to Toronto, Ontario.
4500kms, in 11days. We even did 650kms one day! Not bad on a scooter that wouldn't go faster than 55kms/hr downhill. Don't get me started on uphills!

He's 62 (hence the "wheezy") biz exec and she's 28, a French teacher, an unusual couple. Our point: Anyone can do this trip, here's how we did it; we know of no one else who did it on a GL1800 and so far no regrets on bike choice ... owned many BMW's too, so know bikes and 2nd-3rd world realities.

We left Montreal, Canada in October of 2007 to escape the coming winter and see the world. The sights have been incredible so far but who would have thought that Uruguay could be so cold in August?
