I can't imagine doing that on a 50cc bike.


Congrats

You went from coast to coast in 50 hours on a 50cc bike? What bike and what kind of seat did you use?

That is awesome. I think the 50cc one would be absolute fun,but with a little more time than that of course.

I remember when I was 17 I did a 50 cc ride, about 300 miles. I could hardly walk afterward.

I believe the 50cc is meant to indicate 50 hours Coast to Coast, not the size of the bike.

I don't care if you are driving a car, 50 hours Coast to Coast is quite an accomplishment. Especially since Gene lives in Oklahoma and has to drive half the country just to get to the start line.

I am guessing Gene rode his Valkyrie?
