[Moto] From Mallorca to the Nürburgring on a Yamaha Aerox. 3,000km epic ride on a 70cc scooter

[#Wittels-]

A motorcycle, an adventure. Traveling is something that all bikers like, but it is true that the adventure is not the same on a naked as on a trail, on a maxi-scooter as on an R... Or even on a moped. Let them tell the Spanish DerbiSendaa, a young man who is very cool with scooters and the Nürburgring.

A challenge fulfilled that was carried out last summer and that began with a promise to his followers on Instagram (more than 34,000 followers) and that has ended with the boy reaching the summit in the Green Hell... And back to Spain.

 

Youth, divine treasure. There is nothing like having dreams, a motorcycle and age to make them come true. Tell this little boy that he will decide to buy one of the most iconic scooters of the late 90's, the Yamaha Aerox. Not content with that, he prepared it to the brim to make one of the trips of his life.

The challenge is no small thing. He lives in a small town in Mallorca, and more than 1,400 km away awaited him until the Nürburgring. A journey of about 3,000 km on a 70cc bike (the Aerox originally had a 50cc cylinder, but it has been modified). What could go wrong? Many things (although he says he is prepared with spare parts and is aware that he will have mechanical failures), but the spirit is even greater.

 

In his social networks he has been publishing some changes that have been made to the Aerox. There is not even the original color from when you bought it. The 90's scooter is packed to the brim, and its 50cc cylinder has been swapped out for a 70cc one; an aluminum Malossi Replica.

As he has been publishing in his newspaper on social networks, upon arrival at the German circuit his second cylinder already seized. He does not lack skill or company to replace him easily, because his father joined his trip with a Renault 4L and a friend with a Renault Clio 16 valves.

 

In addition to this, practically all the mechanical parts of the motorcycle have been replaced by Malossi components: from the crankshaft to the clutch and even the variator or even the 70 Malossi exhaust.

Although he has only published the first video (he will move more about the adventure), on Instagram we have been able to follow his entire journey. And yes, he reached the culmination of the mecca of motorsports, arriving at the Green Hell on April 4, having left Mallorca on March 31. Every day I faced stages of between 300 and 600 km (maximum).

He was recording each stage with his 360º camera. In the first installment of YouTube, he leaves us with the trip since he left home, where he had to go to Alcudia to take a ferry with which he could disembark on the Peninsula (Barcelona) and continue his trip to Gerona, the end of the first stage.

We will see what he surprises us with in future installments of his video on YouTube, and, above all, the problems he faces on the long journey with the mythical and revitalized 90s scooter.
