2	George	Really Jeffrey are you going to ride a $100 scooter across the country?
3	Kevin	Don't that that crappy Chinese scooter
4	charlie	your last ride took 27 days what's the speed of these bikes you're looking at a2 month trip. you to get that iron butt award
5	Bob	This is going to be fun - to watch :-) I'm sure you'll make it one way or another.
6	Dave	The other scooter was too powerfull? LOL
7	Gary V	What's wrong with you! A chinese 70? Now I'm worried that S.A.A. 2015 might not happen. You might be crazy enough to ride across America once on a scooter but how crazy do you have to be to ride it twice? Insane? You'll probably cross America in a air-conditioned motor coach/chase vehicle for 2015. Ya think?
8	Jeff m	You two are nuts. Lol !!! I'm d
9	Jeff m	Opps fat fingered the last response. You two are nuts!! I'm impressed Have fun.
10	Garth W	In 1972 I drove a Honda XL250 across canada and my buddy was on a Suzuki TS185. We rode slow and not a lot of miles each day. No reason why your bikes won't make the trip. Looking forward to your experience
11	Tomp	Gr8 idea
12	Bill	Give us the make, Model, and year of those awesome bikes!
13	Angela	lol..you are not going to have fun traveling up highway 50..very steep climbs.
14	Roberto C	Great ride, congratulations!!!!! Have lots of fun. I will be looking for your pictures.
15	Bob H	Hoping you have a strong tail wind tomorrow!
16	John J	Hey Kevin...Hey Jeff...RIDE ON & enjoy it!
17	Gary V	That was Amazing! You guys were like the Energizer Bunny yesterday, you kept going and going! It must have been a scenic ride thru Big Sur eh? I can't believe you made it up San Marcos Pass on saturday with those air cooled Chinese bikes. You guys are studs!
18	Bill S	Uh Oh! It's 8am Monday and I don't see your Spot moving. Did those scoots give you trouble? Or did your alarm not go off? Come on... I"m ready to follow you (from my desk chair!).
19	Miguel B	U GO BOYZZZZ
20	Bob D	Way too cool....Kevin...Do you think an old Honda Trail 90 would be a good choice....I'm trying to talk Cathy into doing this ride with me next year...Take Care!
21	jeff m	looks like a ball. my son pat is totaly impressed.
22	Tom B	Hey guys looks like you are having fun. That hot chicken looked good.Let the journey begin.
23	Bob F	Wish I would have seen earlier that you were headed to SF. You could have stayed and dined with us. Good luck with today's leg.
24	Garth W	Beautiful scenery and so many unique things you see off the beater track, but who would have thought they would put cheap early wear tires on those bikes.
25	Bill R	Good start! Keep going!
26	DavidS	Love it.. Have fun be safe
27	Bob H	Was just in SF a couple of weeks ago for the Alcatraz Triathlon. Can picture you and your tiny bikes on that massive bridge. Stay safe.
28	Bill S
29	Bill S	Motor on Glassetts! Headed towards the Sierras. Test those bikes on some hill climbs.
30	KipW	Love the day by day updates and photos...keep it up.
31	Patrick M	Kevin, I wanted to ride and join you for lunch somewhere on Hwy 50 near Tahoe, but my new battery (the problem with the bike was a defunct battery) won't arrive for a few days - Damn!!
32	Vic M	In my old stomping grounds. I lived in San Rafael and would bike most of the areas you guys Scooted. Only goes uphill from Sac town...
33	Jeff m	Hey kevin, just a thought. If the shifting on you 70 is still an issue. Try a Lucas oil additive called oil stabilizer. It works great when my trucks have transmission issues
34	Bob F	Looks like the scooters are broken in now...over 32 for sure!
35	Trudy G	Loved the photo of the bridge in the fog! Looks like the fun is just beginning:)
36	Bob F	Bob Dogs Pizza...the best of South Lake Tahoe! Primavera or Tahoe Supreme?
37	DavidS	Love it. Sorry you lost your pine cone.. On your updates can you tells us how many miles you rode that day. Thanks be safe
38	Angela	Such beautiful pictures from my neighborhood. I immediately recognized your picture on Pleasant Valley road of the oak trees surrounding the road. I always felt that place was so beautiful. Your gas fill up was the most expensive around...views are beautiful here. Glad you enjoyed your country drive and are staying safe.
39	Terryt N	you and your son are super man
40	Jeffrey G	Can we have a break yet?????????
41	Avi	I am still not sure if you are crazy, insane or just having a blast... I hope you're having fun, because we sure are following your adventures from the comfort of our computer screen.
42	Avi	Did you run into other guys on scooters yet?
43	Rich G.	So when Jeffery's scooter takes a dump can you 2 ride on your bike the rest of the way?
44	Jeffrey G	to answer Avi yes we did run into other scooter riders however they were only in the beach towns. For Rick yes my dad will ride on my shoulders and we will finish the ride or will figure out someway to both make it even if it is a trailer for the 70.
45	Bob F	Maybe time for nostalgia....get a kick out of Route 66 ??
46	Avi	I'm glad the rain did not ground the scooters, like it tends to do to old bikes...
47	bob f	Make like a flamingo, head south.
48	Tim Glassett	Love following your ride and watching the video's. Excellent fun adventure. I watch for your posts eagerly every day to see how the little scooter are fairing.
49	John E	Freeking Awesome. I have friends that send blogs from rides in the most remote parts of the world but somehow this adventure has me mezmerized.
50	Jeff m	Great story on Jeff's scooter. But. What about the 70?? Is it really a SCOOTER!!
51	gpsKevin	Bob, the route itself is turning out really cool, no route66 but we are on parts of the Lincoln Highway
52	gpsKevin	BTW: I am rethinking my scooter limit of 150cc next year, I am dreaming of big bikes right now.
53	Bob H	It appears that you're well past the point of no return.
54	Bill S	Ride on - Big boys on little bikes!
55	Bob F	I liked the sign " Moose next seven miles' Was that warning everyone that you were coming through ya big moose?
56	Gary V.	Any action at Old Faithful? It looks like your batteris on your tracker were dead for a while. How are those Chinese bikes holding up? Any more strange noises? And how's those tires holding up? I wonder what kind of reception you'll get from the "Bikers" when you roll into Sturgis on those Chinese Scooters? Ha! Wish I could see that! You guys are Studs! Keep up the good work!
57	gpsKevin	Gary, the bikes seem mostly good. Changed the rear tire last night and the Scooter is making a funny squeel when it starts. but all seem good
58	dorothy L	Hooray! Today you are in my neighborhood! Wish I was there to fix you a nice hot lunch! I see you are about to head across Chief Joseph.... Feast your eyes on the most beautiful country there is!
59	Brad A	First thing every morning I check out your update vs. the sport page. Looks like your having a great time. Without the rain of course!
60	Tim G	Lol, up here in Washington ... if you ride year round 40 degrees and rain isn't at all uncommon. Many times during the winter months I'll be lucky if I see even one other bike on the road. I wear a waterproof snowmobile suit for the worst of it. It keeps me comfy and dry. Love your guys posts. Fun adventure.
61	Dan G	Love your blog. Ridden much of that territory on my 1200GS. Having trouble imagining what it's like on a 35mph scooter. Good luck
62	Bob H	You guys are amazing! If you don't mind, what kind of rain gear are you using?
63	Jeffrey G	Bob we are wearing plastic alpinestar rain pants, boot covers, klim tomahawk jacket and klim powerxross gloves
64	Avi	Did you install heated grips on the scooters?
65	Jeffrey G	Avi: No we did not and it was terrible today without them. we were at 11000 ft and it had to be in the 20 with snow all around
66	Lynlee of the Helix	Glad you two and your scooters are hanging tough! Safe travels!
67	ChrisC	Great scoot Guys! Love the Posts/Updates-keep those 2 wheels rolling!
68	Terry N.	i cant belive those scooters are still running and you guys are supermen
69	Steve A	I'm so glad you hit Bear Tooth pass. It sounds like an epic adventure and your pics are awesome!!
70	Bob H	Amazed at how the little scooters are hanging in there.
71	Bob H	Way to go guys! Your visit to Sturgis brings to mind the story of the tortoise and the hare. Ride on.
72	gpsKevin	Funny Bob, all my life I have looked at Harleys and thought they were the tortoise, Today they are looking good
73	Trudy G	Glad you're out of the rain. Thanks for posting with photos so we can all live vicariously!
74	bob f	Time to head south....big storms across the upper Atlantic States from Chicago to Philly.
75	Bill S	"harley guys got a good laugh but really they were just jealous" Right on Jeffrey! Great quote.
76	Avi	Everyone is asking me how are you're coming back? and what about the scooters?
77	gpsKevin	Avi, we plan to leave thee scooters in NY and fly home, then next year ride them back with the group
78	Davyd B	were are the bikini girls and beer
79	gpsKevin	Davyd, I am with my son??? and his Mom is reading the post... No girls
80	Terry N.	check out the black hills for a roulett ride
81	Tom B	Can you say what Jeffery is doing in picture 16 &17 on day 9?
82	Tom B	Famous saying (are we there yet)
83	Gary V.	Sounds like it's time to "Man Up" and kick start that Chinese Scooter. That's what you get when you over use the "Sissy Button"! I hope that the bearing in the starter motor is the only one that fails! It cracks me up that the Harley guy seemed worn out riding that "Couch" around. I don't think he could hang with you guys on a scooter...Ha!
84	Garth W	I could spend a lot of time riding the roads and trails in the Black Hills. Went there last year for a few days and just scratched the surface.
85	Steve L.	Thanks for the name mention in your adventure. Yes, I probably would of had the nut for you guys. If you are going thru Mankato Minn, stop at the "Modern Garage". Joe Miller a Colorado & Moab rider will help you guys with bike needs. I am presently in Steamboat remembering when we were here for the great Continental Divide Ride we did back when. Keep it going-thinking I just might do the scooter ride next year.
86	Tim G	It looks like it says Phone from car because it's low so you can pull up to it like a drive through and use the phone without getting out of your car.
87	Avi	It's a drive thru pay phone
88	Cy R	Sounds like fun
89	Bob H	So next year we'll all have to simply ask locals for directions? Too funny!
90	Gary V.	Happy 4th of July Guys! You guys are amazing all the way to CHEE-CA-GO! Are you going to go thru Sturgis again? Sturgis MI, that is. I wonder if they have any "Biker Bars" there? Be careful, and watch out for those Deers?
91	Davyd B	how easy it to get to the starter and check on the bendix and the ring gear? arter
92	Jeff P	Very sorry to hear about Jeffrey's grandfather. I remember him from your wedding. A very nice man. Hugs to all who loved him as you look back on a life well-lived.
93	Bob H	So sorry to hear of the news of the passing of your wife's father.
94	Bill S	Hi Glassetts. So sorry to hear about Jane's Dad. It sounds like it was unexpected. I pray that can move through this tough time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys. Take care
95	Garth W	Sorry to hear of the loss of a father and grandfather. Hope all is well otherwise. Safe travels to you and look forward to your updates when you resume.
96	Bob H	Glad to see you guys back on the road again.
97	VIC M	Only 166 miles North East on the 69 and you guys will be in my hometown! Don't blink or you'll miss it.
98	Jeff m	I am a firm believer the the fruit of a tree does not fall too far from its base. Why ? Because Jeffrey is as nuts as you are kevin. Great stories.
99	Bill S	You guys rock. Keep on going! ...and know that I'm rooting you on, Great updates too!
100	Bob F	Great photos of the old gas stations and other sites.
