This is about a 15 minute scooter ride from my house. The pictures aren't too great; I took them with my cell phone...

I get all excited when i can see snow-capped mountains from the SF Valley or L.A., but this has out mountains beat. Really beautiful and a reminder of all the places I want to scoot but haven't yet.

There was also a SYM HD200 and a couple of MCs along for the ride. The ride was sponsered by The Scooter Lounge which is a great local Genuine dealer. They even bought our dinner!newslinky wrote:I agree I was like look at all the Genuine scooters woot!

a guy in a pickup was nice enough to run over it for me in a parking lot.
It's still ridable around town, but I think a 500-600 mile trip would be too much for it
great pics and what is it with you guys in the mid and far west with the big scooter seens?? i live in michigan and cant get anyone to put a scooter group together i see them all over (mostly main land china stuff...tank) but a scoot is a scoot and id like to go riding. but here in the great wight north the car is still king unless its a harley

I talked to Dave at The Scooter Lounge this evening about Provophenia on Sept 12-13. He didn't have an agenda worked up yet, but should be posting more info on their website in the next day or two. Basically, it is an Olympics themed event, putting up real scooters against some Chinese scoots in various challenges. Probably a fairly early start on Friday and all day Saturday activity. It sounds like it should be fun.fiver1971 wrote:Provophenia, Sept. 12-13.... ?????
I guess I can go to ScooterLounge's website and see if they have details, but what can you share about this? I might be interested.
We had a nice evening ride down the The Great Steak and Everything in Provo. Not nearly as many people as last time. Dave bought us all dinner.

My nephew from Provo just brought me a Scooter Lounge Shop Shirt - best value scooter shirt I have ever bought!! I'll wear it PROUDLY next weekend (9/12-13 ) at the PA Scooter Rally in New Holland PA. I only wish it mentioned Provo or even Utah on the beautifully embroidered patch on the back.fiver1971 wrote:Provophenia, Sept. 12-13.... ?????

Day 1 of Provophenia. We did a ride around the Alpine Loop this evening. There were about 30 scooters in all. Ok, so maybe one of them was a MC. But it was a blast. We all stopped at JCW's in American Fork for a hamburger on the way home.
