"Once Around Australia" project

by Travis Mostoller
(Once Around Australia)




We have established an epic 15,650 kilometers (9,700 mile) to circumnavigate Australia on scooters for individual charities. It is our intent and goal to have 100 international scooterists involved in this endeavour.

The event launch date will be from Sydney on the 1st of August of 2012. The trip will take 44 days, 38 of which will be on the roads of Australia.

Maintenance and relaxation stops will cover Brisbane, Cairns, Darwin, Perth, Adelaide, and Melbourne and returning to Sydney on the 13th of September 2012.

We have recently exceeded 1,000 likablity on our Facebook event page and are advertising in 30 countries. Our event website will be released shortly with full details of the event and how to get involved.

With so many different charities available, we have decided that each rider might want to champion and ride for their own legitimate charity. There are so many different charities and having a personal attachment brings back a little more satisfaction to the rider at the end of the day. We will be establishing a direct link from our website to each charity's donation page.

If any of your readers are interested in distance riding, with a bit of adventure, an international event, while doing it for a good cause, feel free to follow our progress and get involved.

Best Regards,

Travis Mostoller

Battery Tender Junior in package

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.

Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.

One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.

Attention!

I'm Back!

Yes, I have been noticeably absent from the site the past few months. I recently lost my mother to a long battle with COPD and was subsequently plagued with a bunch of minor health problems. But I'm better now & back full swing.

I had to delete over a hundred questions that had been submitted, some because they were too old for answers to still be valuable and many because they were written in text speak, which I don't accept on the site. PLEASE... use proper capitalization & punctuation, so I can publish your question/review, etc. without editing. Thanks! :)

Wondering why your scooter question never got posted?

Chances are, there is a good reason. Did you...

If you "checked yes" on any of the points above, then I've deleted your post. Sorry, but I have standards. Feel free to re-submit, following the instructions I have everywhere on the site.

Also... all submissions have to be reviewed by me, and that can take a few days sometimes. Comments go live without approval, but still take 30 to 60 minutes to show up, so don't repost them, please.
