WKRP in Cincinatti
There were 200+ scoots at this rally and it was a great time. Great turnout for the Buddy, even saw a Blur. If you've never been to a rally, you should try one. Tons of fun.

- Can you find the Buddy? This was on the river ferry crossing over to Kentucky.

It's surprising how many rallies there are across the country. Check out www.scoot.net for the calendar of meets.

The big ride on Sunday was quite fun. Buddies were definitely well represented along with several Stellas (3 with sidecars). Here's toddrw2251 and me. We were at the end of the row. The other 200+ scoots are to the right. Photos are just now being added to scoot.net. Good times!

Great picture at Turfway! I may have met you, too. I know I had an 'open bar' session at the Comet for about an hour. (anyone who said hi got a free beer) I did see a Big Ruckus at the rally, was that yours?Lagerhead wrote:WKRP was a blast this year.
I looked for you Gary but must have missed you (which would have been easy considering the turnout) or I could just be a retard and only think I've met you.
I've found a mess of pictures on Flickr already by searching "WKRP".

If it was a silver Big Ruckus it was me. (there was a yellow one there as well)GaryEPSP wrote: I did see a Big Ruckus at the rally, was that yours?
If you saw a guy on a black Buddy, in an orange vest, blocking intersections and smoking cigarettes, that was not me. But it was my Buddy (both).
I really didn't spend too much time at the Comet, I was thinking I met you at SAQ#9. http://scoot.net/gallery/pic.html?pic=235961 but of course I could be mistaken. (it won't be the first time, this hour.)

Wow, you have a memory on you! That's my wife on the Juice Met and me on the Salsa. Our first rally and we rode our Metropolitans. Thanks for the memories!Lagerhead wrote:If it was a silver Big Ruckus it was me. (there was a yellow one there as well)GaryEPSP wrote: I did see a Big Ruckus at the rally, was that yours?

Awesome weekend. I couldn't believe the number and types of bikes that showed up. I love the black Jack Daniels Stella. I might have to do the ride again this weekend minus the 234 other scooterists. It's hard to block traffic on a one person ride.

How do people get their bikes to these rallies? Do they ride them state wide and stay in hotels, or do they drive a truck/trailer and bring the scooter to the rally? I'd think you'd need a couple of days to ride and stay in hotels before reaching a rally.
I live in Englewood which is an hour to an hour and a half from cinci, I wouldnt want to ride my scooter that far!
Someone, have englewood/dayton rally plz

I have a Tilt-A-Rack hooked up to the back of my van (you need a class 3 hitch installed if you don't already have one) that I tote my scooter around on. The model I have can take up to 400 lbs and is very convienent as it tilts down the the ground with an extendable ramp for loading. Then all you need are a few tie downs. I believe someone has posted lots of info about trailers and such in another thread.jfrost2 wrote:How do people get their bikes to these rallies?

Nice shots. Fun to see everyone else's photos. I thought the JD Stella was well done, too. If you're thinking about going out riding this weekend, let me know when. I might have some time and would love to join you.toddrw2251 wrote:Awesome weekend. I couldn't believe the number and types of bikes that showed up. I love the black Jack Daniels Stella.

Yeah, it was cold and wet all the way back to C-bus. Took us four hours with stops for fuel and lunch. Hard to describe the ride, it was truly miserable but sadistically enjoyable.SteMer wrote:Nice shots. Fun to see everyone else's photos. I thought the JD Stella was well done, too.
