To my So Cal riders. Me and the wife are thinking of taking a hike up PCH to Malibu to a beach out there. It's going to be a 31 mile trip one way. We'll be 2 up on our Buddy 125. He just got a tune up a few miles ago. Will he hold out alright?
The bike can handle it, no problem. Whether you'll be comfortable for that distance, whether the traffic and/or limited speed will be a problem, etc. are more important things to look at.
That's an easy ride. I rode a Buddy 50 nearly 300 miles. Just take your time and enjoy the ride. Don't let the angry people in their steel cages get you down.
