Scooter Cannonball 2021 // Day 10: Finally Reaching the California Coast!

Published 2022-03-18
We faced numerous obstacles during our trip, from weather to animals, gravel and potholes to crazy mountain passes. We managed to keep our bikes upright throughout the trip with zero accidents or drops, and we didn't have a single mechanical failure! Aside from burning through rear tires and engine oil, our bikes made it through this endurance challenge without a single failure and don't seem to be any worse for the wear.
Additionally, our @KIPMoto SherpaX trailers performed flawlessly! We can't imagine how different our trip or the equipment load out would have been without these amazing trailers. They carried our moto-camping supplies, spares, fuel, oil, and all of the tools needed to be self-sufficient on the road for 10K miles.
I will continue this series with our return trip to Texas. We stopped to motocamp in the Grand Canyon, chased alongside freight trains in the desert, and took a hot air balloon ride in New Mexico. So stay tuned for more great scenery and riding! 😉👍

Good day to you ! I am a HONDA Cross Cub Grandpa from Japan. Your nice Cub trailer and adventure video is so great ! Thank you so much for sharing !! Have a nice day !
-
When we bypassed the fire I was amazed on how many emergency vehicles were heading into the area as we were heading out.
-
Good video. Storms rolling through 'Bama today and I'm just sitting here living vicariously through your post. Thanks!!!
-
Having to sit and watch (listen) to all my ahhhs, umms, and so’s… ahhh was brutal! My daughter and I finished the entire series up this point! Thank you so much for all the work that goes into making these! 💕

What a great series. Recently bought a PCX 150 for my work commute (my first bike) and really love being uncaged for those 15 mile trips. As a former long distance runner and current recreational cyclist, I can (almost) feel the pain and accomplishment of such a great journey. Looking forward to the return trip videos.

🛵Quasi, it was sad seeing it end, after following your videos. I can tell it was rough, but you did something that so few will ever do. I have learned alot and even scooter shopping as we speak. I hope to see you in 2023 .

I’m late to this party. Congratulations on completing this epic adventure! 👍🏻 Very well done by you & Adrian. Man & machine won. I watched every bit of it. The overlays on your video were a very nice touch, I like the info. Great monologue too, good wit & good times.
-
Fantastic scenery, thanks for the video and the virtual ride. That's a very nice overpass at 4:50. Just a little detail I know. Also, they look like eucalyptus trees alongside the freeway there at the end 👍🇦
-
Wow, I’m from California that was an amazing ride. I hope you saw the big trees and Yosemite
-
That was an amazing series. One of the best on YouTube.
-
I’ve enjoyed every one of these, watching in Britain. What a superb trip. Looking forward to getting sone decent but much shorter trips on my Super Cub in this year in the UK. Have an end to end trip planned, it’s ‘only’ 1000 miles. 😂 Thanks for sharing this trip.
-
Superb adventure captured on video, thanks for all your hard work editing it down to take us along the ride across America with ya - appreciated very much.
-
Soo satisfying sir.. i choose to watch this for hours.. i can feels the adventure trip vibes..

Great to see Americans riding what you term "small bore" bikes. I moved to France from the UK, don't have a full bike licence and can't be arsed to take a french test. But I can ride a 125cc. So I bought a Honda Shadow. Its great, esp around these country roads where a big bike is a handful....as my friend has found out when his Yamaha Tracer fell on him...once in the woods and he was trapped for an hour and once more last Christmas when he dropped it and broke his ankle. In France a bike is a bike no matter what the cc. And many French start their driving experience with a scooter or small bike and consequently as car drivers are respectful of bikers.

I have been there at night :) its scary af. in a car though. Luckly I grew up driving in the mountains :).
-
I like the “Stand up, Quasi!” (He WAS standing up, but as he ever so often hints in his videos, he is less than a foot from being a midget) 🤣
-
I have enjoyed watching this whole trip immensely. Can't wait to do some traveling myself here in Europe 🌍 I should be picking up my Honda Super Cub 125 real soon!! You guys rocked it!!!!
-
Hi handsome. Welcome to California USA. Enjoy the final leg. Nice to see you and the rest of the crew. What a challenge.
-
Thanks for sharing your adventure guys! I followed you the whole way. It is interesting hearing your perspective as an R1 owner. I certainly can see myself following this route, however I would never keep a motorcycle throttle pinned. I would ride at a pace of 80% throttle and never allow my bike to bottom out. Or, at least try.

Well done for the fantastic epic on the Cubs, I saw your clean down vid a couple of days ago, I get a cub was second but you did very well considering you towed all your support instead of using the van and I am sure if you pair had not towed you would have been in the top four . My trip is a bit shorter with the UK North Coast 500 but starting 450 miles away in Reading makes it the same as three of your days but I have a week to do it in.
