Tomorrow I’m meeting up with a woman who has completed an AMAZING feat… 11,000 miles across the USA in 3 months on a Genuine Buddy! While I’m there I’ll be covering the event and then escorting Alix Bryan back to Austin where the Urban Moto Shop has a little BBQ & champaign toast planned for her.
- If you want to ride up with me, I’m leaving from Jo’s coffee on SOCO at 9am.
- If you want to meet up in Crawford, I’ll be arriving there at around 1pm.
- If you want to ride back to Austin, we’ll be leaving Crawford around 4pm.
- If you wanna get in on the BBQ action, we’ll be meeting at the Urban Moto Shop somewhere between 7pm and 8pm in Austin. Be sure to RSVP if you plan on eating: 512.535.6144
Wish me luck! I’ll be doing 200 miles on a Buddy supplied by my good friends at the Urban Moto Shop (thanks guys!). It should give me just a taste of what Alix put up with on a daily basis for 90 something days.

Oh and to put 11,000 miles into perspective. If Alix could ride her scooter from Austin back to the city where her Genuine Buddy was built, in Taiwan, it would only be 7,784 miles.
If she were to ride another 1,400 miles after she reaches Crawford, she would have ridden the distance from the North Pole to the South Pole. WOW!

Steve,
Wish I could join you but being in L.A. its bit tough. I had seen her scooter parked in Pasadena and was confirmed by Alix that she it was hers. Oh well – enjoy, ride safe, and have a great time.
