Scooters Go Green here in Boston is hosting a Founders Ride on October 29th at 1pm. Anyone in the area should definitely come out to meet the Founder & President of Genuine Scooters and join for the ride and dinner. Yes that's right, we will be riding and hanging out with Phil. He's also paying for dinner

ALL GENUINE SCOOTER OWNERS/RIDERS WILL EAT FOR FREE!

We will meet at SGG and then ride over to Cambridge to eat at Fire & Ice. It will most definitely be the largest ride of the season.

RSVP with SGG

I hope to meet some MB members there!

Looks like it will be raining, and cold, with possible snow even.

I was looking forward to it too.

Looks like fun but I'll be at a Camp-and-Ride in CT. Is it really supposed to snow already? Maybe I need to stud-up.

I am working...AND too far away. But, if you are anywhere close that is not to be missed. Go out even if its cold. Just gear up! nTake pics!

Cold is one thing. Rain + cold, or worse, snow, is quite another, and enough to make the whole thing quite unpleasant.

I'm in and taking fotos for Scooter-Go-Green. If the ride gets canceled due to weather then the meal is still on. I'll just take the train in to Boston...

Meal even without the ride? Oh sweet!

Only been to Fire & Ice twice, last time was several years ago. Interested to try it again.

I think the meal is OK only if you RSVP and the ride is definitely canceled due to weather. So RSVP with SGG and you are reserved. The weather report for Sat. keeps changing every day so who knows what will happen.

Phil actually responds to your emails... damn, I can't even get they guy to answer a tweet. But, who am I... ;-(

The weather was awful, but the ride was excellent. I had so much fun touring around Boston with fellow scooter "buddies".

I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Hopefully Scooters Go Green will have more group rides.

Thank you to all who came an attended! Thanks to Scooters Go Green and Phillip McCaleb for organizing a really fun day!

No snow till the following day...

Picture a harley biker gang weaving through busy city traffic without care, between cars, down the bike lane, ignoring red lights, just basically going where ever they wanted without care.

Now that you have that mental image, replace the biker gang with a bunch of nuts on scooters.

That's pretty much what it was, and it was a blast

Hopefully Monica got home ok, myself and another guy rode with her most of the way as her scooter seemed to die at every stop light...

Seriously? I'm glad I didn't go then. Ignoring red-lights is a step too far, and a great way to get killed. I'd have been left behind.

Well that was the mental imagine I wanted you to have. We stopped as a group at red lights, after dinner there were only 3 of us in our "group" and 2 of those scooters were having issues stalling coming to stops, so at some red lights we looked both ways and snuck through when there were no cars.
