"I Saw You," Erin?

Driscoll = T-Bag Bear?
It's not often you see Vespas associated with the "I Saw You" section of the personal ads.

It's even rarer to see an ad describing a "ratty Vespa sidecar rig with bullhorns."

So imagine our pleasure to see just such an ad, describing the rider as an "American bear" and knowing full well that the only such Vespa in town belongs to 2% Erin. Here's the full text of the ad, from this week's Inlander:

"American Bear on a Vespa: On your ratty Vespa sidecar rig w/bullhorns in front of Irv's. You saw me in the bar & shot me Reese Witherspoon eyes. You can mushroom stamp me anytime. Roooar!!"

"Reese Witherspoon eyes?" "Mushroom stamp me?" We don't understand the terminology here - and aren't sure we want to - but adding to the prominent display of the "I (heart) Tea-Baggin" sticker on his pink-strapped helmet (which we DO understand), we're wondering if maybe there's some sort of code also associated with white sidecars...and bullhorns.

Who placed the ad? Don't know, but whoever did, thanks for the laughs! dingbat

If Che kept a scooter diary...
We weren't sure what category to file this three-part story under, but since there's an upcoming event involved, we'll lead with this e-mail from Karen of the Guerrilla Scooter Association, one of our favorite Richland/Tri-Cities scooterists:

"Hey Minions:

We're having a poker run next weekend - should be fun if anyone wants to come down for it. Our website with the info on it is at www.iscooter.wordpress.com

We'll also be coming to see you in September. We have your rally info (Spokane Scoot) and site link on our website. Check it out!

FYI, we're planning an "outta towners" group ride to come to your rally, so if we don't see you this month, we'll definitely see you in September."

Sounds like fun. Minion clubbie or not, if you're in the area and looking for some scooter fun on July 28th (a BBQ is included), head to Richland!

Load the glovebox and go!
It’s been a busy spring. As it ought to be.

We’ve had lots of great club rides, from quick South Hill jaunts, to long loops along the river and across the west plains, to wine tour stops at Greenbluff, Arbor Crest and downtown. We managed a few restaurant stops too, for old standbys - tacos, pizza, and burgers – at places that do those foods proud. Past Prez Rick even took a cross-state jaunt recently, testing routes and stops between here and the Tri-Cities.

New scoots have appeared, from Brian’s surprise winter restoration of his P200, to Mark’s show-stopper Pigeon, guest Jason’s new pea-green Stella, to Jack’s PX150, (which isn’t really new but seems to be, what with all new the mirrors, lights and chrome).

New faces? Yup, but a couple of members got shipped out for a few months – take care in Qatar, Bob and Jeff!
