Always during the middle of finals. :cry:

Maybe this year, though. Depends on how badly I'll need to study. :\

Check out 'The Motorcycle Shop' San Antonio website for all the details. I think the cost is $13, but it has a whole list of activities and stuff on the website.

I don't got it. Jason might have something at the shop. When we went on the ride a few weeks ago we met up with the group at Evans and Look Out because we weren't able to meet up with them at the shop. From their we headed up Evans to TPC Parkway to Smithson Valley Rd to Bulverde, down 281 for like a second then into Overlook Parkway. From there we wound around Stone Oak for a bit and ended up at Blue Star.

Fortunately, my old lady has an insane sense of direction and says she remembers the whole route, so I don't plan on getting lost. There should be several others that know the route. I think there were nine with us the night we went. Additionally, I know Jason went on a second trip last night as well, so I doubt there is much of a chance of people getting lost, but really isn't that the fun of being on a scooter - getting lost? :D

Have A Rider With...

My 10 year old is riding with me. My wife wanted to know what route we would be taking just in case she has to meet us along the way should something come up.

I know there are a couple of stops along the route one on Evans and one in the stone oak area. I'd recommend calling Jason at the shop. He might be able to get some directions. IIRC there may have been a print out given the day of last year. Number for TMC: (210) 654-0211.
All right for you

Had a great time, saw some old friends, made a few new ones, and a very cool guy on a Morphous let my girlfriend ride 2up (as my blackjack only seats one) she got a lotta good photos of everyone!!!

...and won a scooter cover in the raffle!!!!

Now, she really digs scootin....and so when she learns to ride, she'll take the Blackjack, and I'll take the Stella!!!

yay!!!!! she digs scootin!!!!
