Maybe I should make a banner


The rally is getting closer and I've been thinking it might be cool to make a banner to show off the Geezers in Canada. Problem is I really don't know where to start. My first thought was to get a strip of fabric and adhere the Geezer picture I made for a poster. If anybody has a quick inexpensive method, let me now

Upcoming Rally


Rally season has been upon us for a couple of months now and it's about time the Geezer make some sort of presence. The Garden City Moustache Ride In Victoria, British Columbia will be hosting its 24th year by the Capitol City Scooter Club and I have booked My reservations to stay for the weekend. I'm going to check with the rest of the Geezers to see if they want to come but I think there might be some schedule conflicts. Even with that said I know I will enjoy myself because I have been corresponding with the CCSC and they sound interested in hoping the COHO for a afternoon ride and followed by a nice lunch and vice versa with us.

It's Great to know that Canada and the United States can come together with our love of Scootering. Hopefully we can find other things in common too.

I hope it doesn't snow this weekend

I decided to ride the 50cc into work today and to my surprise it dumped snow on me. This sucks, it's almost May and it is still so cold out that it is snowing at sea-level. It's almost 5:30 in the afternoon as I am writing this and the sun finally came out and I am hoping the weather takes a turn for the better.

A great way to bring in the weekend

The Sun was shining today and the temperature was great for riding. I started with some serious riding after work today by heading to the post office to mail my Tax return. I probably should have done it earlier but you know what they say about procrastinating...I don't but I'll probably google it tomorrow. Anyway, after that I went to the one place where I get a chance to get Sofia going at top speed, The Spit. After I got past the paper mill and out to the straight away I glanced at my mirrors to see if anyone was behind me and let her rip. Once I got her up to 65 m.p.h. I decided to slow down, park and take a walk on the beach. When I stopped to
collect my thoughts and have a good chuckle, I noticed that the vibration from the Scooter had moved from Sofia to me. My hands and knees were a little shakey, it wasn't the bad kind, it just made me laugh ever harder.

After my walk on the beach I jumped back on Sofia and blasted toward town at 65 again and headed home. The weather reports said that we should have sunshine this weekend and if that is the case, I'll be on the road.

I also want to say so long to Steve Williams at Scooter in the Sticks, he has decided to hang up the reigns on his blog. I hope he has fun in whatever future venture he choses.

Sofia can now be ridin' legally

You can read into that title all you want but in the State of Washington you are required to have at least Two mirrors on your Scooter or Motorcycle. As of the 1st of April, I have Two mirrors on my legshield. It was my birthday present from my Parents and I was grateful for them. I also got these really cool scale model Vespas that I set up on my desk at work and the DVD Johnny English from fellow Geezer JayBee. All in all it turned out to be a pretty good day.
