A Couple New Scootees

ForgedPixels · Post by **ForgedPixels** » Tue May 27, 2008 3:14 pm

Ahoy! My girlfriend (who I'm sure will be joining this forum soon) recently purchased one of the new Aprilia Scarabeo 200's (in blue) from Top Gear as a means of getting around town without relying on me & my car or the transit system. As for me, with rising gas prices, my discovery of the Vespa S150, and my Dad's indirect influence (he had a Honda Jazz, then upgraded to a Yamaha Vino), I'll be joining the scooting crowd with an orange S150 that will hopefully arrive mid-June. So I'm just saying hey for a couple new Scooters in town!

We're usually busy on Sundays, but hopefully we'll find time to hook up with you guys, and potentially join in on the upcoming rally. I'm excited!

Ahoy yourself and welcome aboard. Now that the weather is cooperating we are looking at having some weekday evening rides in addition to our Sunday get-togethers.

Cheers,

Jeff

Watch the forums for other ad-hoc gatherings. Wednesdays will find some up at the PetroCanada bike night.

PS: Somebody remind me where the heck that is.

I believe a couple of us are doing bike night this Wednesday (Welcome to the board btw Forged!!!).

It's on 97th street and... I'm not sure the ave, but it is north of 153 AVE for sure and on the east side of 97th.

Anyways FP, when you get your scooters come out for some rides when you can, and hope to see you at the rally if nothing else!

Audrey's got it almost!!

Indeed, I will post separately, but bike night is tomorrow evening. 97th Street and 163rd Avenue - east side of the road. Keep your eyes open for the Canadian Tire. Its the Petro Can you want. Should be good weather.

Heya all! I am the girlfriend in question, and I am indeed thrilled and excited to be riding around town on my awesome new Scarabeo! I've got lots of questions and I'm sure I'll find some of the answers here, if not I'll speak up. Looking forward to taking part in a ride!
