      if its air cooled then might need to stop every 100km or something however stopping for a moment to rest seems like a good trade off

    Hello from Canada. I spend 7 months a year on my 50cc Yamaha scooter,going anywhere and everywhere. So much fun. I still use a paper map to plan my trips and take all secondary roads. I enjoyed your trip and story. For all of you out there, get yourself a 50cc scooter and change your life. You won’t regret it. Be safe.

      I ride a Shadow 125. Friends with bigger bikes have commented that when they ride out with me they ride slower. One has a large adventure bike another a racing style Honda 750.
      They say that riding at between 30 to 50 mph allows them to see and smell the countryside and not arrive tired from concentrating on the road just in front of them. Besides, my bike is easier to handle on the narrow and winding country lanes where I live.

      While still living in the Philippines in the 1970s, I bought a tiny 50cc Honda Mini trail bike. I rode this bike for a few years not only around our congested city but even frequently rode it over rough roads to my favorite hideout about 25 kilometers away in a reservoir/dam. You can ride your scooter anywhere so prepare to explore the world. Good luck.

    really enjoyed and appreciated your vlog... I found it extremely informative and very useful. I've held a full bike license since 1967 !!! a year ago I purchased a 500cc Yamaha, moving up from a 125 cc scooter. it was a mistake for me and I've now decided to go back to 125s or even a 110 cc . in the late 1950s my uncle and aunt went from London to Sydney on a Mobylette moped !!!! proof that there's nothing wrong with small engined vehicles.

    For tyre punctures..a spray can with fluid rubber...and a car puncture set...togeter less than 10 euro's. See UA-cam for how to do it. And buy saddlebags...can also be cheap...more room and a lower centre of gravity... Good luck with the next tour, from the Netherlands!

Sceneries, roads, you enjoy each part of it. You taste it. No highways. My personal challenge is taking very small luggage on board. I try the "Toothbrush/pants/socks" challenge. Kudos for having done it on a 50cc! Greetings. (Slovenia seems to be so beautiful!)

A trip from mid western Germany to Luxembourg, Belgium and Netherlands. It all started with a bicycle road trip to China which extended much longer than planned. Now I'm working again to save money for the next big trip.
    The important thing is to get out there and experience the world for yourself. Take this experience home and see the world with different eyes.

    I also made a long ass Trip too on a 50cc Keeway scooter, from Würzburg in Germany to Breitenberg near the German/Austrian border and back, a distance of bout 800km both ways via Ingolstadt. Took me approximately 2 days, top speed was 45km/h and i ended up with a sore ass and severe back pain. Was a load of fun though

    Well done, I came across your account while wandering online Helpful tips and advice and proves if done sensibly, you can travel on small bikes in big journeys,

      Yes, it is totally possible and OK. This time I treated my trip more as a "bike" trip, not so much a motor bike trip, because of weaker engine.
