I just jumped off my 50cc scooter and parked it next to my Wee. For me, a scooter is transportation and a motorcycle is for recreation, no matter how much displacement it has. Maybe my opinion...

So close, yet so far. If I could just somehow sneak my Wee through North Korea I could try some of those routes. Keep the reports coming. Great stuff!

Thanks for the link. I'll be keeping an eye out for a DR-Z 400S or similar this spring. Though that 990 Adventure on there for ~17,000,000 has me thinking of selling everything I have.

Bummer. I just found out about this from a local shop a couple days ago. Any idea of the winter schedule or any other events? I'd love to do a demo day of the 450, or any BMW for that matter.

Suspension is what I found to be the biggest issue off-roading on my scooter. Ground clearance is a close second. Neither can be easily fixed. There's a reason you don't see many scooters off-road.

Most of it's there, in parts in the bottom of the boat. You can see the lower half of the unit here. The photo was supposed to show the embankment I almost rode off.

Daelim ATS 50 in Mud

The water level at Cheongpung Lake is rapidly rising with the summer rain, so I took the ATS 50 out for a spin in the mud flats before they're gone. This boat will be afloat in a week or two.
