Halloween Ride, part II

Releasing our inner wolf.
How do you mix scooters and Halloween? Some clubs do costume parties, sans ride. Some, like Seattle’s Los Gatos Gordos, do creepy story tours, including celebrity graveside visits and stops at infamous murder scenes.

Nice ideas, all, and most likely our group will take a turn at a more organized event next year. But this year’s costume and ride effort – done without any special planning or incentives – was pretty amazing.

Huge kudos to everyone that put in the effort to dress up for our 2008 Halloween ride, namely:
Paul and Marla – If there’s ever another “Pirates of the Caribbean” sequel - and we hope there won’t be – but if there is, Johnny Depp seriously needs to brush up on his Jack Sparrow character by watching Paul awhile. Marla? Every bit as impressive as Paul. These two got ham-chops.

The Scooter Vote
Saturday, 01 November 2008

Learn, ponder, take part.
In a word, Vote.

For most of us, scootering is a fun pastime, a chance to hang with friends, tinker with machinery, and experience cityscape and countryside areas more directly and fully than folks in cars ever can.

So things like politics and appeals to voting have no place on a scooter club site, right?

We’ll say no. Issues like energy policy and pricing, our country’s economic health, transportation options and infrastructure, and our own State’s growth management policies all come to mind as issues that affect our two-wheeled pastime – and are on the line when elections such as this one take place.

Of course there are scores of other issues at stake, many arguably of far greater importance.

We’re not taking positions. We’re simply encouraging you to do so.

So, this Tuesday, VOTE. dingbat
 
Epic Scoot: "Going to the Sun"

This year’s events committee figured the group needed at least one epic trip in 2008. And at just six hours away, Glacier National Park seemed like the perfect destination. So plans were made for August 15-18, and seven clubbies made the trip. Below, Prez Mark provides a bit of narration to accompany the photo gallery:

“If there was ever a road made for scooters, Glacier Park’s ‘Going to the Sun Highway’ is it. Road lanes are narrow – which, along with steep drops nearly the entire route, helps keep speeds down. That’s a good thing, because views to adjacent peaks, valleys, and the park’s namesake glaciers are everywhere. In short, the place is gorgeous to the point of being a dangerous distraction.

I scooted Glacier a couple years ago, and after sharing a few pictures of that journey, the club was sold on the idea of making a trip in 2008. Suggesting that we might be the first scooter club to ride up and over Logan Pass probably helped seal the deal, too.

Plans were made, club funds were allocated to help defray travel and camping expenses, and on August 15th, we were off.
