Do it during the summer.

Otherwise you will freeze. Wouldn't want to be suck on a scooter in a snow storm.

You can generate a time lapse thinger with google maps? you could literally sit and watch your ride before you go on it!

Hello GetSome!

Sorry for the long wait on an update been very busy as you will see below!

This will have to be the biggest update due to the location of the record attempt being changed to Australia from the United States.

This is due to trying to keep to a budget and because I was contacted by SYM Scoota Australia who will sponsor my event by giving me a 50cc scooter with Unlimited Servicing/Repairs when needed and even going a far as if my scooter was to break down out in the remote regions he will fly a mechanic to the nearest major city and get them to travel from there to where ever i may be!, but they expect the scooter will hold out and only need basic repairs like tyres, wiring ect.  

The scooter itself will be kitted out with a massive fuel cell that should get me about 350km without needing to fill up aswel as extra storage units to hold some of my gear for the trip also USB sockets will be attached to keep the GPS Navman and GPS Logger powered for the whole event.(Model of scooter TBC)

You will notice the maps on the first page have been updated to show a draft route that will be used for the event that will cover 13,000km of Australia and what townsI will be stopping at along the way.

To do over 13,000km in 30 days I will need to set a goal of about 500km per day it will be hard and grinding but I think I can do it, I will have support for about 2,200km of the journey from the starting point.

Accommodation wise I will be ruffing it most of the time by stopping at camping sites/trailer parks and using a tent and using power facility's to recharge recording equipment. I was told it could be about $20 to use power facility's but maybe I could work something out when I explain the journey I am doing.

So I am pretty stoked with what is going on and with October being locked in for the event I only have a few months to get ready, you may also notice on the front page how much I paid for all the Items im taking, im pretty sure fuel will properly be the biggest cost of the event.

I will be doing this for charity now and will try to raise as much funds though the website and while im traveling over Australia, im in talks with people with a possible website and a charity but has not been confirmed yet.

Most Towns I Will Stop At (30+ Legs Across Australia ( THIS IS NOT FINALIZED)

Fantastic I like this new plan so much more, you are going to be remote as fuck for the majority of it and the charity aspect is also a great addition.

[BerG]

And this time there is a large probability you will break down and be swiftly surrounded by hungry carnivores.

Like I said last time, WE WANNA SEE YOU DRINK YOUR OWN URINE. And now I think we will.

Well done.

[Pitchey]

Don't swim anywhere except hotel pools!

[Pyromanik]

I was told it could be about $20 to use power facility's but maybe I could work something out when I explain the journey I am doing.

Maybe one of those wee solar trickle chargers?

Also, event sounds amazing. Good on you chief!

[mycoolcar]

You're going to need to budget more than $10 a day for food. Even at home id struggle to spend that little amount.

Are you doing any physical training before this? Sitting on a scooter for that long each day, day after day, would get pretty hard on the body.

I've covered a fair bit of Aussie in the last year or so, and met several bikers who are doing your sort of trip for fun.

What parts of Australia are too dangerous to camp in?

We need to warn the locals.

great vid, that's what it's really like.

Guy must have a cast iron arse.

Almost made me want to go back and do the rest of it. [I'm halfway round, but I've done the interesting {for me} bits]

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

I really like this cool idea.

Hey guys,

Just a small update, with some help I have manged to get Shell Australia to sponsor us all the oil the scooter will need for the trip (too bad it isnt petrol!) but I am stocked with that as that is one last thing to worry about buying

[frankytanky]

I am riding from Bluff to Queenstown on a scooter in a fortnights time, will let you know any tips etc I can pick up

How much oil do you think it will use? Is it two or four stroke?

If it's a four stroke $20 bucks should do it.

If  the motor is OK it won't use much even if it's a two stroke, if not you won't get far.

Try to learn a little more about what you are trying to do.

500km per day for 30 days?

You've got to be dreaming.
