    I had an RXS100 back in the mid 1980's. Brilliant little thing for commuting round London, zipping through the traffic. The auto-lube worked on mine though. 🙂Enjoy the trip!

    A great little video, thanks for sharing, what an adventure !
    Though without being pedantic I must correct you, your Lexmoto is a scooter, your brothers Yamaha is a motorcycle.
    Apart from that I cant wait for your next installment. 👍😎

      Your adventure is very entertaining and shows you don't need big powerful machines to travel large distances. I have a book of bound copies of Motorcycle News from the early 1950s with a story of a man travelling Europe just after the war in 1950 on a tiny 98cc James Comet. The Comet did 140 MPG and 40mph so he probably did it quite slowly, but very cheaply . 👍😎

      I have a big capacity adventure bike and to be honest, the challenge of travelling on a small bike which isn’t 100% is amazing. I highly recommend it.

      I also have two large capacity classic bikes, but I've always had a soft spot for smaller bikes. It was on a small bike, bought from the money from my paper round that got me addicted in the first place. 👍😎

    This would be a lot better if it wasn't "Selfie Style" . 3 weeks of looking in your face, no thanks. Bon Voyage! Catch ye when ye get back! 😂😂

    No fckn chance you paid £250 for any of those!

      You are right, I paid £130 for the scooter and Paul made the Yam out of parts which cost him a lot less than £250.
