Wow! Just... wow. Kelly and I took the scooters out today for a major tour of North Carolina that touched Franklin, Vance and Granville counties. We even saw the Tar River and crossed two single-lane bridges! The massive burgs of Wilton and Hester (the outskirts) North Carolina were visited along with many other named and unnamed crossroads. Riding a vehicle with a maximum realistic speed of 40 miles per hours means you slow down and smell the roses. Doing so was fantastic. To top it off we only nearly died twice, once when a minivan full of Mexicans decided to pass both Kelly and I with a F-450 towing a 5th wheel coming the opposite direction. ¡Idiotas! The next near-death experience came courtesy of a red neck in a lifted truck passing on a double-yellow uphill on a curve. Thanks, dude.
But aside from those two isolated incidents the ride was fantastic!!! I wish you all could have been there.
Total mileage ridden: 60. Time lapsed during ride: 2+ hours. Annoyances: the batteries in my GPS going dead 20 minutes into the ride and getting hopelessly lost in the middle of nowhere. :)
