live the four corners of the United States on a scooter
~|~
a journey in which 'a bold undertaking' is damn understatement
~|~
The Pioneer Ride
RIDEiculous is not your average adventure
~|~
10,000 miles of back road wanderlust to the four corners of the lower 48 on a Scooter so small it is not allowed on the American Interstate System
~|~
No Highways | Few Rules | Few Problems
as told in 2011 by a pioneer of this journey after extensive research
~|~ usingGoogle Maps & pen/paper math to budget ~|~
"preparations for my 1981 C70 at optimum running condition before the journey ~ordered new rings and gaskets to rebuild the engine, new chain and sprockets, new rear tire (and spare). Hopefully I find some panniers"
~|~ 1200 miles from nc to maine
~|~ 3800 miles from maine to washington
~|~ 1500 miles from washington to so cal
~|~ 2900 miles from so cal to florida
~|~ 1000 miles from florida to nc
Total: 10,400 miles ~|~ call it 10,000 or 11,000
you will get lost | you will get sidetracked | over-estimate
~|~ these are guesses ~|~
10,000 miles | 100 MPG (Google it) 100 gallons of gas (math again) assuming you burn more on uphills and save on downhills
factor $3.00/gallon = $300/gas | Not bad for a stroll around the US
math sucks so you should take this info with a grain of salt
plus a rim of salt on a shot
