Good deal. I'm trying to remember how we coordinated the MB meetup at AV 2010. Had a good turnout from what I remember...Elder Scoot wrote:I will be there. Maybe we can coordinate some meeting place. I'm trying to do the same with Modern Vespa.
It's a bit far from Mobile, but Birmingham used to have a pretty active club. http://www.birminghamscootersyndicate.com/BeefSupreme wrote:My GF and I will be there, riding in from Mobile. This will be our first Amerivespa and our first rally since we got into scooting a few years ago. The scooter scene in Alabama is pretty lame so we're really looking forward to it.
Yep, I just moved down here from Birmingham last year. When I was there they didn't have too much happening with the club.hackett wrote:It's a bit far from Mobile, but Birmingham used to have a pretty active club. http://www.birminghamscootersyndicate.com/BeefSupreme wrote:My GF and I will be there, riding in from Mobile.

Good deal. You'll see my handle on my badge, and if it's not too ridiculously hot I'll be wearing my patch jacket with the MB patch ericalm gave me in '10.Elder Scoot wrote:It seems like "The Transportation Revolution" where the Cannonball riders are celebrating at 7:00 pm on the schedule is the most logical place.
When you get your ID tag - put your MB name on it, e.g. "Elder Scoot MB".
I will be going by two names "Oldscoot MV" and "Elder Scoot MB".
Look forward to seeing y'all.
I chose the Hilton for the same reason. I also believe that the hotel provides a specific and secure area for the scooters. That is - for a small price.chloefpuff wrote:I'll be there! I'm staying at the Hilton. I had originally booked at my fave B & B in NOLA but decided that I needed to be at Rally Central.
As did we. Tried doing some price comparisons and use of some points with a competitor hotel chain to get one night free, which resulted in an unnecessarily-complicated spreadsheet trying account for parking costs, varying rates, and distance from the rally hotel.Elder Scoot wrote:I chose the Hilton for the same reason.

That's what i've been keeping an eye on the past few days. Living on the coast i've learned to ignore anything under 50%. Small patches of rain can come out of nowhere and disappear just as fast. Riding to NO from Mobile we expect to cross a few. Raingear, check. Towel, check.Elder Scoot wrote:For what it is worth the weather forecaster (Weather Channel) predict a 30% chance of showers every day of the rally. This is not atypical of weather in the Gulf states. Therefore, bring some light rain gear and remind yourselves of the techniques for riding in the rain.
Didn't wind up making it to TTR tonight; got caught up having dinner with a local friend I'd been meaning to get in touch with. Hope to catch you all at some of the other events.Elder Scoot wrote:It seems like "The Transportation Revolution" where the Cannonball riders are celebrating at 7:00 pm on the schedule is the most logical place.
Banquet tonight, but if you haven't already registered you won't be able to get a seat. Raffle tomorrow morning at NOLA Brewery.keltick wrote:What other events are going on this weekend?
