Cocoa Beach Rally..who's going?
This is looking to be the east coast rally of the year! Last I heard there were 500 preregistered.
So who from MB is attending...besides me and Diva Bocette?

I wish I could go to all of the big rallies. I don't even make many of the ones in CA!

Gotta bring a scoot!
I'm trying to decide between the 68 SS or the 67 GT Rat!

I don't own a vintage scooter (yet), and I don't feel the need to bring one of my modern bikes to this particular rally. Trucking one from Philadelphia would double my costs, which would mean not going to AmeriVespa. This year's AmeriVespa is in NOLA, so DUDE YES I am going to that! I'll bring riding gear just in case someone lets me ride theirs. Because unless I somehow find an extra $250 between now and February 24th, Pinky & Ditto are staying home.BuddyRaton wrote: Gotta bring a scoot!

I'd see if Porn-Hair has any room on his tailgate for Pinky.polianarchy wrote:I don't own a vintage scooter (yet), and I don't feel the need to bring one of my modern bikes to this particular rally.

So here is the scoop, I started to planning, checking out the hotels, getting a travel route ready because I wanted to ride my Black Jack up there and enjoy the rid, check out where to stop, get an tool kit ready etc. etc.. On the day I wanted to register and book the hotel I asked my wife that I would be gone on the week-end of Feb. 25 and then she told me casually oh, we got tickets to go to see the "West Side Story"......so that means I am not going and I was really looking forward to it.

Yet it's closer for me to drive to AL, MS, GA, LA, AR, TN, KY, TX, or SC than it is for me to drive to Cocoa Beach!polianarchy wrote:WHYYY aren't you going? It's in your state!
Florida is a friggin long state. Distance aside, the real issue being I would not be able to take time off work.

It's not JUST vintage scooters, because the large international contingent will be mostly ride-less and some of us from points far-flung in the USA will be renting modern bikes from Eagle Rider, etc. I think it's supposed to be vintage-focused, though.Scooterjoety wrote:I cant wait for the rally I am super pumped. I live in Orlando so its a short drive for me. There are supposed to be over 600 people at this rally. Does anyone know if its just VINTAGE scooters?

Yeah Poli, it would kinda be like you stopping in Eire on your way home from Cherry Hill, "But it's in the same state"KRUSTYburger wrote:Yet it's closer for me to drive to AL, MS, GA, LA, AR, TN, KY, TX, or SC than it is for me to drive to Cocoa Beach!polianarchy wrote:WHYYY aren't you going?

I had a boss say something stupid like that once, "Hey Keith, on your way home from work, do you mind dropping this in Ephrata?"
Ephrata is thirty five miles PAST where I live from where I was working at the time, in Harrisburg.

Diva Bocette will be on a Vintage 125 (161) and I'll be on the SS180 or the GT Rat
