2013 Genuine Customer Appreciation Rides: "Family Reuni

Post by **ericalm** » Wed Mar 06, 2013 5:53 pm

It's pretty rare for the President of a company to tour the country to meet their customers, hang out with them and buy them lunch. Many who attended the previous Genuine customer appreciation events with Philip McCaleb reported not just having fun on a ride with our Genuine brethren, but were also happy to get to meet someone (The Man, even) from Genuine and, as they say, "share the love."

As the other dates and locations are announced, post here with links to the info in the Rallies, Events and Meetups forum. We usually don't double post but these events appeal to members who don't normally attend rallies or check the Rallies section of the site. (We gained several new members in our riding group after last year's LA event!)

The 2013 Tour kicks off March 24 in San Diego. Details here:

Yay we had a great time last year in RVA, looking forward to it.

^^^ Ditto. A great excuse for a ride. And yeah, how often do you get to chat with the "head man" at an event. GREAT idea and I'm glad to see they are doing some more.

Two of my scootering highlights last year were the Richmond ride with Phil and friends, and the East Coast Classic...some madman in riding boots and shorts high fiving the entire ride-out group on the way by

I've seen the videos, I wonder who the dashing gentleman was

I am still trying to come up with a new theme for the rallies this summer~

Who is going on the 24th in San Diego? I understand that it's starting out at Vespa Motorsports. Be sure to RSVP to [email protected] if you are coming so that they have some idea of numbers.

I can't make that one, but I'm seriously considering heading to Chicago for the next one. It's April 27th and it's going to be a blast. I'm waiting for more info, but if I hear anything, I'll post it up here.

Me!

Come on out, we'll find you a scoot! (Uh, maybe someone will.)

You should down for Amerivespa while you're at it, too.

Yeah, it snowed. I didn't make it as I had another ride going on the same day. It'd be nice if there was one in the summer.
