June 10, 2012 is RICHMOND's turn!
I'm already working on a shift trade to make it to this. Should be a great event, and a chance to meet the legend himself.
Not sure of the definite plan, but the Mrs and I may ride down early the morning of and ride back to DC in the evening.
Yeah, just decided to do it. Going to have a bonfire at my house saturday night. Then a few of us are going to get up Sunday AM and ride down. Going to be a 400 mile+ day on a Stella ...sounds like my kinda fun! Even made a FB event and invited my scootering buddies.
Speed is only a matter of money...How fast do you want to go?
We'll be leaving from US-1 just south of the Beltway around 6:30 or 7 if you happen to go that way, maybe hit up a waffle house in Fredericksburg on the way.
Hey Viney, you forgot about me heading back with Adam, think I topped 500 as well so I'm sure Adam was over 600 since he had another 40 miles from my place. On the way I home I think we would have been better off with the pink buddy. I know my psycho just didn't wanna stop when I got home and topped the 1000 mile mark on it (1300 actually of many more to be added). My first question is when can we do this again? Next weekend...lol. Thank you to my buddies that I road down with, Scoot Richmond for the great ride and awesome looking shop, and Philip Mccaleb for lunch and everything else including an amazing quality super scooters.
So we went farther than I thought ! ( wasn't keeping track of miles). Awesome. I figured Adam would top 500, I knew he was farther than you. but I saw he did 610.
Yeah, it was a fun ride, good friends, no issues, and safe return. Scoot Richmond...nice place, great folks.
And Phil, THANKS for lunch. It was nice talking with you again.
And I really enjoyed putting faces to names from Modernbuddy. All in all a great day

Yup. 610 miles. That was awesome. I laughed almost the whole way, every few minutes someone would look over and have that "wtf?" look on their face, that pink buddy got more attention than any bike I've ever been around.
Thanks to Bill for dragging me along, Batman for going along, and thanks to Phil for buying lunch.
And ya, Batman, the pink buddy Is actually a better scooter than my wife's ride. If they ever make a purple scooter 150cc or up, I think I'll be able to get her on a Genuine (Phil - purple Stella? Maybe?)
Ya, it was a loaner. My Stella blew up at 1200 miles and Bill was determined to make sure I was still going. I'm not sure how it came about, but I was offered a choice : blur or buddy. Naturally, the pink buddy was to awesome to
Turn down. There may be more to the story, but Bill would have to tell you
"Stella" is Latin for "use threadlocker on all fasteners"
Thanks to all that were involved in organizing this.
I had a great time hanging out; enjoyed the ride (especially through Fulton which hold many family memories); and the "Bourgeois Bowl" was delicious - a special thanks to Phil for that.
So will this post change my status from "Lurker" to "Member"?
