 Bryce behind glass, good.
The weather made it a touch and go affair up until the last minute, but at the 10:00 am start time, roads were still dry. Rick, Brian, Crystal, Kevin and Pat met at the usual 2nd and Cedar launch pad (a.k.a. the Rocket), took on some warm-up coffee and breakfast items, then left under mostly-cloudy skies and fairly chilly temps. Ride leader Mark joined the group closer to his home base near Trent and Argonne.
The ride over wasn’t at all scenic – Trent is one of Spokane’s many autopias, after all - but it was fun just to cruise and give motorists something to do double-takes over. The only real hiccup along the way was a broken clutch cable on Brian’s rig, which he was fortunately equipped to replace with Rick’s help, pit-stop style.

 Jumpin' in with both feet! Tomorrow night, Saturday December 1st, members and friends of the Minion Scooter Club are invited to take part in Vespa of Spokane's annual Christmas Bash! Keep in mind, this won't be just scooter people - Vespa of Spokane is also Dollar Rent-a-Car, and basically this party's a thing they do every year for employees and family, as well as customers of Dollar. It just so happens that this year's the first where Dollar's also been a Vespa dealer, so Mike Cole (who's a Minion member) wanted to invite us, too. "It's HUGE," Mike says. "Food, drink, music, dancing...it's like a big wedding reception every year." Let's see...a wedding reception you don't have to dress up for. Sign us up. If you're in-town tomorrow evening, drop by starting at 6:00!

 Pirate, incarnate? But Mark, a.k.a. "Minion Mark" is often seen riding his bike one-handed while cruising: one hand on the throttle, the other, resting - a bit regally it seems - atop his knee. And some say that's when he resembles Captain Morgan, the buccaneer featured on the label of Captain Morgan rum. Now, we're not saying there's a strong physical resemblance, but the whole raised leg thing plus Mark's general demeanor just struck us as pretty funny at the time. So much so that we dug up an image of Captain Morgan and compared it to a recent photo, which frankly made us think a little software interpolation might be in order. So check it out below, and be sure to grab the little scroll bar and "scrub" back and forth to see the similarities. And maybe next ride, watch him do the Captain Morgan pose.
