After roughly 1,300 kilometers of travelling, Euroscoot‘s 2008 Ride which followed the reverse Northern Luzon Loop (Manila-Nueva Ecija-Nueva Vizcaya-Tuguegarao-Isabela-Pagudpud-La Union-Manila) I finally got home at around 6 pm Sunday evening, tired, dirty and smelling it.
It was one of the toughest rides, physically, I have ever been on. The Vespa GT performed flawlessly. I got it us high as 130 kmh on the long stretches of Isabela before finally giving way to good old fashioned fear. The GT could handle more, but I could not, no need to go that fast when you have 400 kms of open road in front of you.
I will leave it to the rest of the guys who joined the trip, as well as the other club members who went on a parallel ride (VCOP and Scoot 66) doing the Northern Loop, to share their stories. It’s too much of an experience for just one person to tell.
