2009 - Plan 9 Rally wrap up

Post by Angelo »

I would like to personal thank everyone that was involved in this year's rally, from the planning to the excution (No matter how small the detail)
it all takes time out of our personal lives, but it's this time invested that makes each years rally unique and special and it is greatly appreciated.

In the end If we all had a good time, made new friends or Reacquainted ourselves with old friends, if we all get home safely, with stories to tell and we all shared laugher and good cheer then it was all worth it.

Cheers
Angelo

High kids on bicycles and boobs on the beach were some of my favorite parts.

We just wanted to say a really big thank you to all of you that hung back with us throughout the weekend ride. Our little 50cc`s made it! You are all a great bunch of people. This was our first rally of many we intend on attending as it was so much fun. Thanks for all of your hard efforts to make this happen for guests like ourselves. Hope to see you all around town!

The broom was my favourite part - can you include that on every rally? Cheers. Paget

I will bring a broom to Calgary! WHACK!

Awesome rally, 400K on the scoot, 7 hours sleep over the weekend, thanks again to everyone that made it happen! Great to see all our wonderful friends from out of town, we all really appreciate the effort you make to come to our shindig.

Can I have an honourable mention for hard luck? After riding all weekend with a sprained ankle and no front break, my front shock cracked on the way back from Sherwood Park today, I bodged it enough to scoot across town and meet up with an old friend for coffee this evening. 2 blocks from the University I suffered a rear blow out. :cry:

What a weekend!

Damn, your last minute efforts to win were just a few hours too late!

Order in the parts and we'll have a bit of a repair-a-thon to get her back on the road again!

Man that sucks, but considering the challenges that were thrown at the old
scooters, they all faired fairly well. I'm in on the repair-athon

Agreed, you guys had an AWESOME sense of humour about everything. Hope to see you out at some meetings and club stuff soon!

Did the trophy survive the ride home with the dollar store bungees?

Cheers
All hail Emperor Kang!

Dale, It is always great to have you with us.

Thanks to your example, I am also starting to see the attraction of a twist-the-key-and-go, reliable, modern scoot!
