I think this is pugbuddy's scoot, which was briefly at the front of the 660+ scooter parade.

I was on a silver Buddy 170i. Great scoot (of course)!

Leaving the stop for the Long 10 Lakes Ride.

POC Phil (in the hat). Finally got to meet him. Everything I've ever heard about him is absolutely true. :)

Jackie F with the roundel on the back of her shirt. Genuine party.

That's iMoses in the Royals shirt.

By Saturday, you couldn't walk outside in Lake Geneva without seeing a Scooter Dork shirt!

Staging for the record attempt

Image
I was riding with the Heinkels!

Image
A personal fave from the Concourse, this turquoise & white Vespa 90. One of the things I love is that it's a daily rider.

Image
Cushman with CB400 engine. Holy moly.

Woo-hoo!

Great pics, Eric. I didn't think I could've wanted to have been there more, but you managed to find a way. :cry:

This is a great photo- Eric, can you get it onto Facebook for us?

Viney... Lokky wants to know if you have seen/know who taped the video of him hi-fiving everybody at ECC? He knows said video exists but hasn't seen it.

Apparently there's a video of his magnificent slide across the finish of Amerivespa's gymkhana... we have yet to see it :shock:

LunaP, I was riding by and don't know if someone caught that on video, BUT I will ask around the TMISC crew that was there and see if anyone knows. THAT would make great scooter video. I was on the orange Stella cheeky seats tiger stripe seat with a friend on the back. There was another lady riding on back with someone and I think she was shooting some video. Maybe her? I think she was on a Lammy.

This was at the East Coast Classic if anyone knows. I'll ask around.

I definitely had a guy approach me at Amerivespa saying that he uploaded a video of that to Facebook. I was entirely too wasted to remember who it was and I asked for it on the ECC group page but heard nothing about it :(


And yes, I want to see the gymkhana video of me going down :lol: I have my gopro video shot from the front of the scoot and I'll get it online when I come back from this weekend's rally ;)
