Resurgence III in Atlanta, GA; October 2011

Post by Uncle Groucho »

I didn't get a chance to stay long this morning; hopefully I can sneak back for a bit tonight but I'll definitely be doing this next year.

Please forgive the lousy shots courtesy of my outdated myTouch...

Enjoy:

Hey, that's my scooter shop.

I'm sorry I missed it; I heard it was a lot of fun.

What little I participated in was fun; heard someone got knocked down Friday night but was okay. Atlanta drivers aren't the best in daylight to begin with...

Loads of Stella there Saturday morning; made me really jealous not to have one.

I probably could have managed with my 50cc okay but I felt a little iffy given I've only been doing this for a month. Hopefully I'll be better prepared for the next one.

And Steve @ TnS did a damned good job setting up the grub. Folks were happy.

Glad you guys have been enjoying the snaps.

I went by late yesterday to see the guys and had a chance to see both of the Lambrettas out back; that yellow one in the background in your photo was pretty sweet also.

I saw the guy go down Friday night, it was driver error more than anything. He had been down on the scooter on the same side earlier last week, so it didn't do any additional damage. It was a shame to see such a nice scooter messed up too, it was a black 2010 Vespa LX150...

We (me, my wife, and the dog) rode down 3-up from Marietta on my PCX for the Friday ride and again for all the shenanigans on Saturday. We just missed the ride leaving Saturday morning, so we got the route from the dudes at Twist N Scoot and did some maneuvers of questionable legality to catch up. We caught the group at the gas stop, and were riding with the rally for the rest of the day.

Here's pics from Saturday: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... 571&type=1

Damn, that was a lot of scooters; do you know what the count was?


Also, where was this shot taken?

Thanks for the photos and videos; it really makes me wish I could have been there. I'll sure try to make the next one.

No idea how many scooters... At least 100, probably much more.


That picture was at Elliot Street Deli and Pub: http://www.elliottstreet.com/, and was taken Saturday night right before Gymkhana. :D

I wish I could make that one; my sister is part of a float this year and it'd be nice to scoot through L5P.

Have fun!
