Rally Report: Amerivespa 2010, San Antonio TX
Scoot SWLA &bull Jun 7, 2010
I arrived in San Antonio on Thursday afternoon and enjoyed a short nap in the cool, air conditioned bliss of my room before meeting up with L and Ed who had scooted in the previous day, and Ron and Lindsay who arrived shortly after me.

Charlie, Gay, and the rest of the Sunday Punchers of Houston pulled in right behind us.… Full Story »

Rally Report: BEW3 (part 2)
Scoot SWLA &bull Apr 7, 2010
Saturday morning I woke unusually early (for me anyway). I don't know if it was the excitement of being at a rally or the sunlight peeking in my east facing window. The morning was still chilly enough to need a jacket and promised to be a lovely day to ride. Larry and I found our way across the street to a little coffee house where I met a whippet that could have been 20 years old. I always have dog withdraw when I'm away from home. We watched starlings fight for muffin crumbs and waited for people to begin to… Full Story »
