Miami photographer/blogger departs to California on a scooter
His scooter maxes out at 40 mph, maybe even 43 mph. But that just means he won’t be breaking any speed limits during his 2,750-mile trip to Los Angeles.
And hopefully he won’t break his back with his 60-pound plus backpack.
Scott Branch, who has photographed some of the sexiest models in South Florida, left Miami on Friday. As of Monday, he has yet to leave Florida.
But considering he gave himself 30 days to reach the City of Angels, he is probably right on schedule.
And through it all, he has been providing daily updates and photos on his blog.
On Friday, Gus Moore of Miami Beach 411 and I followed Branch through Miami as he embarked on his journey. Gus drove as I hung out the window filming. The video is above.
Gus also owns the Miami Tour Company, which is sponsoring Branch’s cross country trip.

Awesome, awesome video Carlos. Love it. And “Take the Long Way Home” is a perfect fit.
Thanks for the props, Carlos.
Thats pretty awesome. I’ve always wanted to do something like that.
On a side note, damn, Miami is pretty.
Great video Carlos. Thnks for the post.
What a great video, Carlos! A fitting tribute to a great friend.
Thanks for the video Carlos. Good luck Scott!
My bet is it won’t be long til he either drops some weight in his bag or rigs up a better way to get some or all of the weight off of his back. I need a serious massage every summer when I ride my scooter from Lebanon, PA to Sugar Loaf, NY, and that’s just from holding my head up against the wind. Good thing that he’s on a Piaggio, and not some no name Chinese knockoff that you can’t get parts for to save your life. Would’ve been better off with something with a little more storage, though. Honda Ruckus, if he’d want to stick with 50cc, or a Honda Big Ruckus (what I ride), which has plenty of room on the back (you can strap a keg on there) and 250cc perfect for highways. But I guess it’s too late, huh? Hope he has plenty of sunscreen, too – the first summer I made that ride, I made the mistake of doing so in a t-shirt. Worst sunburn ever, in 6 hours flat.
That was a great video! Man I am a little jealous of that journey. Best of luck Scott!
