A few months ago on the official Bad Decision Triangle messenger conversation (the source of way to many of our issues) it was decided that we should go on an adventure. I had watched a Fort Nine video where they took a minibike on boat as luggage, and I was inspired. I said "let's buy scooters and go somewhere". And as you do we all said.. that sounds like a good idea.
Apparently if you tell the BDT, "Here is a reason to buy a new vehicle" we all will almost immediately say "sounds great". The earliest we all were available was this week so we were a little concerned about weather.
Destination:
We discussed destinations and knew we wanted somewhere with off road and decent things to look at. We needed it to be within a day drive of the Triangle. Weather told us to go south instead of north. We decided to head towards northwestern Arkansas. There are a substantial amount of Forrest roads and off road trails. We are going to base out of my RV and do a few day trip loops from the campsite.
The Steeds:
We laid out some ground rules.
1. Scooter, has to be a scooter.
2. 50cc because fun increases with vehicle inappropriateness.
3. All rules are more like guidelines
I will allow the participants to discuss their choosen champion. Here is mine:
2005 Yamaha Zuma, 50cc 2 stroke. Preparations included.. . Riding it. I put about 500 miles on it so far. It needed front brake pads. Yes I took the lazy approach.
So follow along with us as we do sillyness over the next 5 days. First stop is Bentonville because a few of us couldn't resist doing a few hours of MTBing before the scooter riding and its like right on the way.
