Scootoberfest

Post by Robbie »

Anybody decided if they're going to Scootoberfest in Lake Geneva on Saturday, October 6th?

I'm toying with running up there......I'll steal a room at my sons home like I did during Amerivespa.

I think there's a group riding up from Chicago, ask on Chiscooterlist on yahoogroups.

Me and my mom plan on going, just not sure if we'll make it early or just for the group ride or what.

We need something more happening here in central Pa.
One of the local fire departments do a monthly 'Biker Breakfast' I go on the scoot, some even appreciate seeing a scooter. :?

FWIW, I just saw a note somewhere saying they might start everything an hour late since it's supposed to be pretty chilly in the morning. Watch the FB event page for updates.

I can't make it, have fun, everyone. Those guys can throw a great party!

I would like to, but we'll be out of the area for awhile. Seems like I always miss these type things.

Sounds like a great time .... enjoy and post some pics/videos for those of us that can't make it.

Schedule update

Post by scootERIK »

"This just announced. The NEW start time for Skootoberfest is 12pm instead of 11am. This will give everyone an extra hour in the morning so it won't be as cold. The foliage ride will start at 2pm and will be a little shorter so the end of the day schedule will be about the same." - Sherm Lindsey

Just posted to the club's meetup page.

Scooters are loaded up in the trailer (well 2 of them, the other is already in Lake Geneva). Going to make a weekend out of it!

I'll try and find those that posted.
I'll be at MAC around 10:30 Saturday morning for sign up.

I ride a light blue Stella....large Saddleman gear locker on the rack......probably will have 'Hippo Hands' on it......

I think so.......doubt if anyone will be wearing shorts regardless of their function at the event though.

I'll probably take a ride around town and stop in at Midwest in the morning, but have to go into work at 7pm so prolly won't be around for any festivities.
