Wildwood NJ June 1-3.

Never been, but I'm gonna try to go. Just got a link to it on Facebook. The other site isn't up yet.

I'll try to make it this year as well. My buddy Kevin made this video from last year...

Cool. I'll how that vid to a few friends. I'm taking stella, but they were worried about having modern scoots ( a buddy 125 and a blur220)... I figured there would be plenty of modern coots in the mix.

Liked the general lee, and a few others in there. And LOVED the sidecar rig. Perfect place for one! Trying to talk my buddy with his hack into going ,too!

This one goes head-to-head with the Mid-Atlantic Scooter Rally ( a/k/a New Holland), scheduled for the same weekend.

. Trust me, if you have to choose 1, go with the ECC. The MASR is catered more to maxi scooter and the older crowd. Not that they're no fun to hang with, just not my preference.

Not that I know for certain, but folks who go to the trouble of explicitly mentioning 'classic' aren't usually too fond of 'plastic'. There are a lot of 'classic' zealots in my neck of the woods.`

You're probably right about the target audience, Boot. That having been said, the group at MASR made me feel welcome from my first ride (on a Buddy 150) to more recent times ( on an ANS400S ) (BTW, still have the Buddy ... too much fun not to keep it). Maybe it's me, but I can't say that about every rally I've been to.

I went to Mid-Atlantic last year, it was close, as the meet up place isonly a 45 minute ride from the house, I did feel out of place however with the Buddy.
Got to save my Shekels for Wildwood this season. (I need a beach trip anyway!!)

Edit: Oh yeah, I will be riding from the Lancaster Pa area but will spend the night(s) there.

I'm afraid that I missed the last one ... but trust me, more than a few riders @ MASR got their starts on a Buddy. The worst I've had there was a little friendly teasing ( "What kind of scoot will that be when it grows up?"), but had more admiration for the Buddy ( "Wow! That little thing sure keeps up!") than anything else.

I might swing by this for the day on Saturday the 2nd.
It would be a nice early-ish b-day present to finally get to a real scooter rally!

Vacation time taken, room reserved.I am a definate go. Now to try to talk a buddy into bringing his sidecar rig...or letting me borrow it

I was in cape May this weekend, and wildwood was still a ghosttown...SO weird that its so quiet. It was fun walking the beach with almost no one around though

Today is the last day to pre register for the event!. Get your registration in to get your free t-shirt

Packed up, headed out tomorrow after work! Hope to see a few folks there. Orange stella , black rear rack, tiger stripe seat.

have fun. sorry I won't be able to make it, too many other rallys filling up my free weekends this summer and the Mrs and I are going to camp in rural VA this weekend, and hit up some roller coasters at Busch Gardens.

I'm looking for good pics from the event? anyone?
