Long drive on a Scooter

T

Planning to go on a one sided road trip of about 150kms flat road (sometimes filled with potholes) on a TVS Wego Scooter. Feeling nervous as hell as I haven't went beyond 60 kms to-and-fro with that scooter which is now 2yrs old though meter reading says only 6882 kms. What you guys say? Have you been on a long drive ?? What are the essentials to take??

Oops! Noticed the "Automobiles" thread only now!

If it's automatic then it's cool. Take regular breaks in between.

I've been on 120km trip( one way ) recently.
First & foremost, have a good helmet with good paddings. This is of utmost importance.
Ensure your scooter is in good condition. Ensure your petrol tank is sufficiently filled up.

If this is a road trip with your friends, Take few breaks( as faun said ) & bring some water.
During the trip( if you have time )You can try to take some scenary pics or group photos if you get bored.
Try not to drive a bit rash & fast ( usually, most people tend to forget their road sense when they are on the roads with their friends )

Anyway, its just a 150km trip, nothing much to worry about..You can easily cover this in about 3 hours ( or even less ).

Drive safe.

Completed. Oh man!!! The road was filled with potholes in a 40 km stretch in between. I departed at 5am and it was foggy as hell. My jacket n jeans were wet n filled with dirt coz of the due n it was so cold though I hardly felt it coz of the 5 layers of clothes I wore

. I reached destination by 11 am ( yeah took me 6 hrs mainly coz of the unimaginable sh!tty road) and then I had to sit in the cash counter n deal wid d public for the whole day.... M gonna have a GOOOD NIGHT sleep

I was travelling in Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Varanasi-Jaunpur-Shahganj-Akbarpur. The road between Jaunpur & Shahganj &10kms beyond was filled with potholes.

Don't go on the looks

, I overtake Bullet, Pulsar with this beauty and they keep looking at it with their mouths open while me saying "asta la vista, baby"

I've a Wego which I have used to drive 100-120 km max at a stretch. Other than the tingly feeling in the palms due to the vibration, there isn't much fatigue. And yeah, mine is still going strong as new even after 2 years and 16000 kms. Acceleration has always been a breeze
