What a good blog, really nice to read about your adventures riding such a cool scoot!

Your country is very, very beautiful too.

I've just ordered my LX 50 (still waiting delivery) and was wondering if the LX 50 would be able to go 20 km non-stop to my school, (where I teach) specially as I'm bit big guy?!

I guess your blog just says it all!

Thanks for the post.

Cheers,
Ricardo from Portugal.

Anmore is a nice area to be in - seems so quiet for a place so close to the rest of the lower mainland. Nice ride, too!

You're right - the area is beautiful in the Spring and Summer - but there is usually a ton of rain during the other times...

Yes, people passing have, on accoasion, been a problem. Usually, if I'm going a fair distance, I try to find a route that has 2 lanes each way. Otherwise, I make sure that I pull over if I have too many people behind me. On my trip to Seattle last summer, I ended up on a lot of roads with only one lane each way but the shoulders were nice and big so I was able to pull over and let people pass.

That said, the number of times I've had people pass around me because they were impatient is a pretty small number. I do get that prickling feeling at the back of my neck, however, when I'm going up a steep hill with cars behind me and nowhere to pull off...

Looks like you had a good ride, perhaps on the coo...

Looks like you had a good ride, perhaps on the cooler side judging by all that left over snow. I had friends who lived in Anmore so I used to scoot there after work on a warm summers day, taking Ioco road then up that long hill, but they recently moved out of town so I haven't been there lately. Nice pictures

What a beautiful ride! Thanks for the pictures. That area has to be a paradise in the spring and summer. With the LX50 do you ever feel like the cages are tailgating you on the road? We ride A1A in South Florida and the top speed limit is 35, 25 in some areas, and lots of no passing signs. We still have people who tailgate us and then fly by when the coast is clear. We even had a Harley Week End Warrior pass us and yell at us that we were not going 35 mph. The nerve of him. Most motorcycle riders are very nice to us, but he was the exception.
