@@Alex.G Well, you tried then. I still enjoyed the video very much. I am 72 and I have been thinking about getting a small scooter and doing the Arkansas and Oklahoma portions of the TAT on it.
I don't even know where to start there was so much awesomeness in this video. The bikes were great, loved the hot tub, riding footage was fun to watch, I would definitely watch another scoot trip video.
Alex, you guys are crazy! PMSL. This was so much fun to watch, you must do this again. You can tell from the comments, this is a project you've gotta continue. Keep up the good work mate.
+Glynn Baker cheers mate! Yeah we come out with some pretty whack idea's! We have been formulating some ideas for new mods if we are to do another one :D
+Intents Offroad we did this in winter in germany at a little lake that even had ice on it. We´ve used an old central heating radiator that we chucked into the fire pit and pumped the water through. Was enough to heat up a pool that fits 10 people.
This has been an awesome series! Just goes to show that you don't need a lot of money or the best rig in order to get out there and have a blast. Good work!
What a great trip. Looks like the Fun Meter was at least 90%! You will remember this trip for years to come. You didn't let the bad weather spoil your fun.
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.
man, I don't know how I found this vid, but I'm glad I did. Seeing people just have real fun is entertaining. Can definitely tell there's real friendship here. Great video, definitely found a new subscriber.
+OFF ROAD N Chill thanks mate! 8000 seemed to come about pretty quick! We should do something awesome for 10k I reckon. Thanks for sticking with it from the start :D
Brilliant!!!! I think having a vehicle that is too competent off road ruins the adventure! On the scoot, an ordinary hill becomes a challenge! And they're cheap so everyone can have a go! Good work boys, you've got me looking at scooters even though I have a proper dirt bike haha!!
+100% Mostly Authentic I totally agree with you there! Something I've been quite enjoying lately is owning horrifically incapable vehicles that really require a lot of thought to get through obstacles. Yeah we had Jake wanting to step down into a scooter as well. It's such stupid fun!
round 2 please absolutely super funny lol Jake gets zapped by his own action using the indicators great build and race too lol slumming it while camping lets use the cappuccino machine 5 stars✨✨✨✨✨ last time i was in that type of terrain was in 1984 high school camping trip at Jarrahdale
Great fun had by all i reckon. Really entertaining vid Alex. When you first announced the scooters I was sceptical but having seen the trip, was a great idea. Great work :) That nudie run... was lmao... Loved the Glampers and that Coffee maker.... hilariously awesome!!
Yeah some of my ideas are a struggle to grasp haha, but they always turn out okay in the end! We must think of ways to increase the luxury of the glampers on the second expedition I think!
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 ;) )
Enjoyed the series ... the whining scooter motors not so much, but what can you do, eh? Give you a lot of credit for your efforts in rebuilding the scoots and for flogging your way through the ride in those conditions.
💯 This was a fantastic adventure! There's nothing quite like riding a pissed-off chainsaw with skateboard wheels over unfriendly terrain! Such misery and adventure rolled into one... good times! Cheers! 👊🤣👍 --QM
Good to see you back on the road! I had a scooter myself and tore the shit out of it! Loved every second. Now i upgraded to a Nissan Navara D22. Does the job but my Scooter always has a special place in my heart. Thats where the real fun happened and if anything went wrong its not that much of a major and cost efficient ;)
Loved it sitting here with a beer didnt want the vid to end i own lambrettas and gu watched a vid of a lad in the 50s taking a lamby accross the alps a lamby weighs the same as my gu i thought those plastic scoots wouldnt stand a chance i eat my words great job lads
I plan to get a 50cc next year and take up camping here in Quebec. Well played get drunk before bed! OMF-how could you forget coffee! Camp stove and espresso percolator! 2 cups every morning before anything else! I always forget shit tickets, tobacco grows in the ditch from coast to coast, big fuzzy leaves-only thing it's good for is wiping ass.
Awesome stuff guys got to be one of the best adventure videos i've seen actually made my night watching this maybe next time add some maxxis tires for a little better off road grip have a great one
+rubiconned I know Haha! I was looking and looking to see if anyone else had done this, and I know people have, but nobody else seems to have filmed it yet!
The only thing unexpected was that the scoots just didn't burst into flames as you pulled into the driveway. Good call waiting for a downpour for your trip dates! 👊🏽
+Ronny Dahl (4 Wheeling in W.A.) I know Haha I was glad I won! You know, Jake just loves being naked haha, but he used the excuse that he didn't want to leave a brother to nudie run alone :p
I always loved how easy a scooter was to fix, on the side of the road with a small handful of tools you can pretty much completely tera down and rebuild one of these cheap China scoots
funny because iv been looking for a video like this for a while, for example making the scooters more weather friendly , but you went offroad friendly, would be good to see you go over the scooters in detail n maybe making them more weather friendly too. i liked the idea of putting bars down the side of your engine case, was hoping too see the outcome... hands down is in the top 5 vids iv seen on youtube hope too see more
Yeah 2 stroke. And cos we messed around with bigger cylinders and the air intakes we struggled to get the air and fuel mixture right. There notoriously fussy 😐
Most important. Your mates had a leg of lamb on the spit but didn’t share with you to have some meat with the noodles? What fucks! Very funny video want to see more. Good job 👍🏿
You guys drive your scooters like you think they are dirt bikes, If you don't take care of your scooters they won't last long... This is why you keep having tech problems.. Drive safe
I can't imagine with all the trials and preparations you made that you never thought about putting knobby tires on those scooters.
Oh we did! Just had trouble finding the right size 😬 I even tried notching mine with an angle grinder. 😅

+Primal Outdoors I'm so gonna have to do another one! Haha
It's happening!
Intents Offroad next time , better tyres please 😋
Bloody brilliant mate! Absolutely love it- more scoot videos!
Perth's own Top Gear... Well done guys, super fun to watch!
Wow an espresso machine in the woods.. Brilliant!
I don't usually comment on peoples vids but I've just watched one of the best expeditions ever . Hats off to you . You must do more!!!!!!
+robert grieve That's awesome mate! I really appreciate the comment! :)
That was an mad laugh! Gotta see them in action again
Alex, you guys are crazy! PMSL. This was so much fun to watch, you must do this again. You can tell from the comments, this is a project you've gotta continue. Keep up the good work mate.
+Glynn Baker cheers mate! Yeah we come out with some pretty whack idea's! We have been formulating some ideas for new mods if we are to do another one :D
Nice work boys! That spa is epic.
+Ashley Moore isn't it the best!? I'm keen to get an actual cheap swimming pool and make a bigger version next time!

+Karve Overlanding thanks mate and yeah exactly right!
way to go, Alex! good watch! the coffee machine, spitroast and hot spa were great too. keep the inventions coming. love your work.
+Emiel Selderbeek thanks man! Yeah they really added a new element to camping hey?
What a great trip. Looks like the Fun Meter was at least 90%! You will remember this trip for years to come. You didn't let the bad weather spoil your fun.
Mint little series boys
A real adventure
Bloody Brilliant ! What a laugh! Cheers !
Absolutle madlads. I love it. Just got myself a scoot and custom trailer, taking trips to the Mountains and The Grand Canyon soon enough
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.

That was awesome ! Need to find room for a winch .
+gomadoe I know exactly where I could squeeze one..
man, I don't know how I found this vid, but I'm glad I did. Seeing people just have real fun is entertaining. Can definitely tell there's real friendship here. Great video, definitely found a new subscriber.
Hey congrats on your 8,000 subscribers, i have been watching your channel since the beggining and its awesome
+OFF ROAD N Chill thanks mate! 8000 seemed to come about pretty quick! We should do something awesome for 10k I reckon. Thanks for sticking with it from the start :D
Drunk Aussies have the best sayings. It's like the down under version of letterkenny for Canadians
+Jonathan Bullock haha heck yes! Love me a good drunk saying!
I admire you for riding adventure on 12 inch wheels, brilliant 😂
Brilliant!!!!
I think having a vehicle that is too competent off road ruins the adventure! On the scoot, an ordinary hill becomes a challenge! And they're cheap so everyone can have a go!

Awesome series mate, more please! ☺️

Great fun guys! Good on ya....
EPIC adventure!
Time for a set of knobbies!
Loved the series. Thinking about doing some of this on my 80cc scooter.
+Greg Frazier yes! You'll be packing the power to haul the extra weight too
Great fun had by all i reckon. Really entertaining vid Alex. When you first announced the scooters I was sceptical but having seen the trip, was a great idea. Great work :) That nudie run... was lmao... Loved the Glampers and that Coffee maker.... hilariously awesome!!

The Glamping will be a fun addition to the videos, maybe do a vid on how to glamp properly lol.
Epic Video, look forward to the next one, cheers!
Thats so funny!! reminds me of when i was younger we use too do this, its a wonder were still alive! good video mate!!
Ah the good old days! It was a great weekend for sure 😄

That hill looked crazy , Joined a gym yet? Lol .. Awesome vid can't wait for more

Whacko ! I really enjoyed that.
Good to see you back on the road! I had a scooter myself and tore the shit out of it! Loved every second. Now i upgraded to a Nissan Navara D22.

+James Delegat it's awesome to know we're not the only lunatics to do such a thing lol

Why's a power sander in the bush odd ? With a coffee machine and heat exchanger for the bath nothing surprises me anymore. Epic trip fellas.
To finish off the bar we cut with the chainsaw - obviously
Nice Ride
Awesome stuff guys got to be one of the best adventure videos i've seen actually made my night watching this maybe next time add some maxxis tires for a little better off road grip have a great one
That was fun, nothing like it on the tube! Part 2!
+rubiconned I know Haha! I was looking and looking to see if anyone else had done this, and I know people have, but nobody else seems to have filmed it yet!
Keep up the good work, the 'tube missed your raw humour 😁
Молодцы ребята 👍
awesome job but shit weather worth the wait guys some of those hills looked killa even for a 4B LOL cheers
They were pretty killer hey! Harry actually busted his tailshaft on one of them and had to remove it before we hit the highway again!
Needs more flannel .... loved the vid tho
The only thing unexpected was that the scoots just didn't burst into flames as you pulled into the driveway. Good call waiting for a downpour for your trip dates! 👊🏽
+Robert P at least if they had burst into flames there would have been enough rain about to quench the fire!
U should probably put off road tyres on them
You guys need more off road tires
I tried to notch mine out with an angle grinder....it was a smokey exercise and didn't work at all
Good stuff mate loved it. High stakes on that race in that cold weather hahahaha. But why did Jake do the nuddie run as well?
+Ronny Dahl (4 Wheeling in W.A.) I know Haha I was glad I won! You know, Jake just loves being naked haha, but he used the excuse that he didn't want to leave a brother to nudie run alone :p
this was sick boys!
Wonderful video. What scooters are these? Did you have mechanic problens with'em? We want more 50cc trips like this. Keep it up you are amazin'.
epicallly awesome. thx for the vid

Funny as! haha
2 stroke on those?! Mine is 4 stroke and never have a power issues
Yeah 2 stroke. And cos we messed around with bigger cylinders and the air intakes we struggled to get the air and fuel mixture right. There notoriously fussy 😐
Most important. Your mates had a leg of lamb on the spit but didn’t share with you to have some meat with the noodles? What fucks!
Very funny video want to see more. Good job 👍🏿
12:00 He spun 360° and facing the opposite direction eh?
If I think of what your saying , you video it . Probably get a million like on that one :)
There is a little variator ring that restrics your speed
Brilliant loved it, bloody funny to watch. 👍👍👍 Shit tickets I’m still laughing at it.
Lol Aretha Franklin Chain of fools 4:12
not sure how much tread your tyres were but a sharp knife and some water could have put some knobs on them
There was a fair bit on mine and I actually tried making them into knobblies with an angle grinder lol! It was a little too smokey..
Good stuff mate love your vids keep em comin!!
When are you coming down Bunbury way?
+iMichael Still I'd been thinking of bringing the subi for a cane through the collie/Brunswick area in a few months!

+Scott Leggo Yeah a few people have seen it around! I'm yet to drive past it though
Shit tickets! Way to go Alex!
Hold up, I'm forever going to use that word.
Shit tickets- toilet paper.
scoots are best.

+Jason Wooler Oh man that's a good one! I've gotta add that to the vocabulary!

+Rolly B the idea did cross my mind!
And a mini-fridge!
maybe a winch, ha ha
got my eye on a quad bike winch actually! lol
You guys drive your scooters like you think they are dirt bikes, If you don't take care of your scooters they won't last long... This is why you keep having tech problems.. Drive safe
shit tickets😂😂
