I once rode my 50cc Simson Schwalb from Blackheath, in South East London, to Gloucester and back one weekend in 1989 (about 250 miles total) and it didn't complain once. I was cold though.
Great video. Thinking about going on little trips like this one, on my 125cc scooter, and this looked lovely.
Thanks for sharing.
Love these bikes an amazing way to see the countryside..I gave up on bike bike 4 years ago now I tour on a 125 never had so much fun
I rode my 125 Hoodlum from Brynhoffnant to Nottingham via the Devil's Waterfall (200 miles per Google Maps) four days ago, used shy of 2 gallons of petrol. On the 4th of January I rode out to Rhyl and back to Nottingham (270 mile round trip almost entirely on A-roads) and used precisely two gallons.
Nice trip Paul, I enjoyed your video, greatings from Belgium
Had anf 2003 put 77 k miles on it. New exhaust still ran lovely and in immaculate condition. Guy collected it a peugeot estate. Was a carb model did 130 mpg
they are great bikes, I haven't used this in over a year so will get it MOT'd and sell it
Just bought an innova same model / color, can’t wait to get out and about in the summer 🙏
you'll love it, I get between 95 and 140MPG.
tank range is 80 to 110 miles.
don't bother with super unleaded as you don't gain much.
check the oil level every 50 miles as some burn oil and I carry a 4ltr 10w30 oil can with me, buy the cheapest oil you can as it makes little difference.
enjoy
@@ArcturanMegadonkey hey thank you for the quick reply and great advice!! I have a seat specialist close by who will remove the step in the seat also which made my last bike (Honda wave 110) way more comfortable and more bench like
@@alistairrobinson3865 On the journey in this video I had to stop every 50 miles as my backside had gone numb, a comfy seat is essential for long trips.
Mines going up for sale soon as I don't get time to use it.
Great to see you back Paul, reminds of the opening scene to Guest House Paradiso :)
Thanks mate
Awesome video as always Paul. Long time no see, great to see you back on a video my friend. Fantastic road trip to Stonehenge, what a special place it is to. Brilliant MPG from your wheels. I bet it felt good to soak your backside in a hot bath haha. How’s your garden shed doing, is the roof still on it. Have you grown any vegetables this year. How’s your lady friend doing do you still see her. Do you fancy metal detecting after seeing that lovely stubble field. Hope to see more vids mate. Thanks Paul for sharing.
Hi Steve, great to hear from you again.
Yeh my backside was happy to get in the bath LOL, I did grow some veg again this year, mainly potatoes. The lady friend has gone as it wasn't working
I will do some metal detecting, not sure when as I have so much to do in spare time
all the best
Paul
Brilliant! Enjoyed it.
Just bought one of these little guys, Carby version.
Thanks, you'll love it as they are so easy with everything, I get between 100 and 140mpg
I think you need to buy a gel seat cover to protect your behind, great video, I really enjoyed it. If you get in the slip stream of a lorry you use 40% less fuel.
Epic ride on a 125 can't imagine the suspension was designed for a trip of that length, but impressed with the Honda. Great to see you back. 👍👍
It managed ok, just need a better seat or put a gel seat on....bum still aches LOL
joking
@@ArcturanMegadonkey what you upto pal
Bro, there's ppl who have done RTW trips on these Bad Bois - one Guy did Sydney to London.. You got to remember these things (as the Cub) have moved the whole of Asia since 1958
Catching up with vids, that was brilliant! What a place to wild camp! Thats on my list. Do some more vids like this, but get some soft foam padding first! LOL Great job mate
Hi mate, thanks for watching.
yeh I need a gel seat lol
What a good adventure! Innova’s are amazing little machines, but I do remember the seat after 40 miles is pretty uncomfortable lol.
Absolutely right on the innova seat I had mine customised and it transformed the the bike ,
Shame I can't add pictures on here to show everyone.
Yer hands will be warmer in gloves!! I've got a Harley Roadking but bought a little Suzuki Address 110 last year as well. Loads of fun!!!
I have heated grips, they work really well although I did take some gloves with me but it was quite warm
Hi
Get a sheep skin for your seat. The difference is amazing.thanks
This was amazing mate, I literally got one of these recently.
Thanks.
I do love mine, such fun to ride and maintain
About time u put up video,enjoyed that thanks
Thanks Graham
Fantastic buddy brilliant video
Thanks very much
Hi mate its been a while ! Hows you and when's your next metal detecting video?...
awesome vid mate,but ya passed my house twice and never popped in lol, take it easy
lol if I had known I would've pop in for a cuppa
Randomly in my recommendations, but I've always said any bike can go for an adventure. The 1000+ cc bikes are a marketing scam!
Great video mate finely one lol
Thanks mate
Great adventure mate sold my bike in April as soon as the guy drove about 50 yards I thought you twat lol ...on look out for another fancy a Vespa for a change. Atb Coops 👍🏻
Pleased you enjoyed it, get an Innova they're most classy than a Vespa hahahhahah
It looks like a wonderful adventure!
I booked a Keeway RKS to ride London to Loch Ness in a few months. Would you say it's safe leaving camping gear on the bike when going into a grocery store?
I never had an issue although it's always something to be wary of so in and out the store as quick as you can.
Enjoy the ride no matter how hard the going gets, smile when it's pissing it down smile when it's sunny.
Great video. I used to own the carb’d Innova. Do you find car drivers are almost aggressive/impatient towards scooters?
no not at all, they seem fine around me when I'm riding
How long did it take to travel the distance?.And how many stops did you make...bum petrol food etc. Thanks.
Hi, I set off at 09:30 and arrived at 17:30
4 fuel stops on the way down and lots of stops to rest my backside.
Thanks for watching
@@ArcturanMegadonkey Thanks for the reply and info.
Very fun and cheery, but ill aimed helmet cam. :P
yeh I still need to work out how to get the angle right.
Thanks for watching
Brilliant. I fancy one if these bikes!! How are they to ride? And in the rain?
They're easy to ride, can take them just about anywhere (across fields etc) and no problem in the rain but there is no real cover for your legs so you'll need water proofs.
This run was 111mpg there and back
@@ArcturanMegadonkey
Oh wow thats brilliant yeah ill have to see how you do the gears. Be good to see a quick video
@@worzysp1 It's a semi automatic, throttle off and click the next gear
Fun watching you out and about on the honda, as a lincoln person, how does the innova cope with lindum hill or yarborough hill?
Thanks, I went up Lindum hill yesterday on it, it's fine. Innova's are a go anywhere machine and amazing fun!
There are 3 Innova owners in Lincoln and by chance I actually met one of them in traffic yesterday
Wish I could if come with you
Get a bike mate
Got a car 😂😂
Got a car 😂😂😂
God, if I had of known you could’ve dropped in for a nice cup of tea just before you would have driven through pigeon shit Canyon (The Chilterns) just off the M40.
That would've been great!
How's your gout?
Gone thankfully!
It came back a few weeks ago and my knee was swollen but all sorted now.
I still take 2000mg Vit C every day
Hey Paul mate.👋🏻😃 That was ace pal. 🛵💨💨 👍🏻👍🏻 Glad you got a geared bike. They’re so much more fun. Have a look at a gel filled seat cover. That’ll stop the dead arse. 🍑 111 mpg is great!! I still think you should have bought a Vespa though. 😉 Where to next??? 🌏 Take card and stay upright ya’ loon. 🇬🇧 Deano. 😃👍🏻
hi mate, thanks. yeah a gel seat is the way to go and Vespa's just aren't my cup of tea.
Not sure where to plan for the next adventure but I'll film it where ever I go
I look forward to your next outing sir and may it be warm and dry. 😃👍🏻
