Scooter News 100 Things : Item Number 54 A date with the Nullarbor…. Item Number 54 is taking the Symba for a longish spin across Australia.
SYM Australia 
On the 30th of January 2011, Sebastian Terry from Sydney's Northern Beaches, and his good mate Andy Thomas from the UK, will be attempting to ride two 100cc SYM Symba scoota's across Australia from Perth to Melbourne, covering a total distance of 3,279km in just over a week. By doing so, the two will be completing Item Number 54 - Ride a Scoota Across Australia from the 100Things bucket-list.
This challenge is not to be taken lightly. By day, the boys will have to contend with the harsh, unrelenting Australian sun whilst dodging kangaroos and giant articulated road trains along the Nullarbor Plain. At night, sleeping in their swag bags on the side of the road, they will be trying to avoid being bitten by snakes, poisonous spiders and scorpions as they rest their weary muscles from the eight hours of riding they will need to do for eight consecutive days in order to complete the challenge.
In undertaking this trans-Australian scoota-thon, Seb and Andy are hoping to raise money for Camp Quality, any donations would be greatly appreciated!

Wish Them Luck !
