Hi steemers motorcyclists! I hope you're all riding and having fun around this incredible world!

As I promissed in my last post, I'm going to share here the last trip I did back in March with the Little Beast, my Honda PCX 150cc. That's right! It is a 150cc motorcycle (scooter) and I used it for my daily commute plus to travel whenever I have time for it.

The roundtrip was about 750 miles total. I live in Brazil and traveled alone from São Paulo to Londrina, a countryside city to spend the weekend there.

When I sold my Harley in 2014 I kept the luggage and some other accessories in the hope to buy another bike soon, so I create a solutions to use what I have. To fix the luggage in place I built a stand with wooden laths and bolted in the back rack. This way was easy to attach the luggage with the built-in strips. I added some rubber stripes just in case.

It was really sunny and hot. Since the PCX is slow, I constantly used to travel behind the big trucks to cut the wind and get more speed.

The road was almost a straight line crossing big plantations, mostly of sugar cane. I prefer roads with more curves but it was good to travel contemplating the horizon for a few hours.

It took me 8 hours to go and 6,5 hours to come back. Because of the heat I constantly stopped to drink some water and take some rest.

At the end it worth every minute.

For me, it is the best way to experience being free.

That's it! I hope you guys enjoy it!
