I broke camp early since today was the day that I’ll be heading to Florida. There were a lot of long stretches of road and this route is mostly for trucks. I e noticed the number of truckers that is just passing me. Since the lane accommodates two lanes each way. There were still some small town I had to pass before reaching to Jacksonville. After 3 hours of riding…
I woke up early to make sure to get enough day light to move on to my next camp site south of Georgia in a small town in Riedville. To my surprise Uncle Nestor was already awake and helped me out. I thank him for the hospitality and told him I’ll keep in touch to let him know how I am doing. He then says “Be careful this weather might…
The 4th of July weekend was coming up so I asked my Uncle Nestor what we will be doing. He looked at me with a puzzled face and tells me”OK hold on.” He then calls someone and speaks in our native language “Tagalog”. After the conversation he tells me he called up a Filipino family he knew that would have a small get together at their place. He then tells…
I got up late and took my time before I left Alejandro’s place. It was already 2pm he asks me “what time will you reach Georgia? I told him “I think I’ll be there late like 1am.” He looks at me “That late? Are you sure you don’t wanna stay?” I told him “the weather is so good today I know I’ll get there in good time and since he…
I woke up early and the clouds looked clear from the other night. I message my friend Alejandro to see if was already in town. He then messages me that he will be back at around 1pm. I had a lot of things on my hand so I better make use of the time. I went on to the boathouse and used their laundry system. Most of things are already…
The bike felt like it was before. The power was back and I felt confident again. It was already pass 12 when they finished my scooter and I know it’s gonna be a long road to Charlotte. I told myself “I know I can do it but I’ll be there late. I message an old boss of mine Alejandro that moved already in Charlotte and see if he can meet…
The next stop is crossing the Carolina state line. I left James river and headed to my next camp site, Lake Kerr, North Carolina. I woke up early to get some early miles. By 8:30 I was already on the road. The ride of the scooter felt good but as I previously mentioned I can’t push the scooter pass the 40mph. This terribly annoyed me. I anted to go to…
I woke up early to start packing unfortunately it was too early. I then decided to get some breakfast at uncle Buck’s for the last time. I ordered a big breakfast cause I knew I’ll be starting my day late. The parts came in tue afternoon but Earl and Dale did not finish the job. I knew they needed more time to finish up the scooter. Now there are…
its been 8 days since my accident and till now I am still waiting on my right parts. Since it was another 30 miles from Luray and my camp site I decided to pitch in my tent in town. Earl helped me by calling the chamber of commerce and the police department to see if that was ok. He told me o can pitch in my tent at the back…
After four days waiting and deciding what to do with the trip. I made up my mind to push on. I’ve asked several mechanics and their opinions about how about to approach the problem and fix it. Sandy from Celtic customs told me if you rode the scooter and it feels ok it should be rideable to your next destination. From riding it to see other mechanics it doesn’t really…
