    Tyres... tyres... tyres. You hear such a lot about how important tyres are for off roading, yet even the dirt bike had road tyres on. Good fun vid and expedition. Would love to see another with the scoots with a serious(ish) nod to what was learned on this trip. Oh and a tip here from this seasoned biker, keep your CoG down low for stability.

    awesome. I do have quite a lot of 50ccm experience myself with an GDR Model called Simson S51. I even was camping and did some "adventuring" with it ... But holy mother of XXX did you guys push your luck riding these slippery bush trails on full throttle with effective no breaking. Sure the perspective on the helm mounted GoPro will cause some irritation to me.
    For the Scooters. I would have striped them as far as possible. Plastic will never keep up with the forces you are facing. The stabilizer with the gas tank where an awesome idea. This is a keeper for me. and for fun trips I would detach the ammo bins. But overall awesome (I thid i did mention that already ;) )
