I love the South

Hoppin John...what a name for food. Black eyed peas [I love 'em] and white rice with spices for New Years. When I'm full I plan to take a scoot.

"in the wind"

Richard Heck rides to work on prolly the most pimped up scoot in the club. I'll get over and get a picture of it, or maybe a video of him scooting. I really hope Richard will get to ride with us this Spring. He's a real hoot.

In the Wind

So i've been hunting for images of "In the Wind" and found all of these old adverts. I'll use different ones at different times.
This one goes to Phyllis Mathis. She was honored in an earlier post for riding to work each day.

If you know of someone who deserves the"In the Wind" award please respond to this post.

the image of a goddess

I've found what i think is a public domain icon for the goddess award. I will use it.
Here's to you Sheri.

Only the Brave

Well here's the brave group that gathered on Sunday for the ride to the Hiawasee. Did ya catch the "El Capitan's" new scoot? He wondered how we all put up with a 50cc....well we just did. Forget the popcorn, the video's too short. Seeya all soon.

Reminder. Following Sunday's ride, Max (aka fgm) and Mr Bill are serving hot cocoa at their place in Harrison.

Goddess award

HI,

Shiftless Sister here, and I just heard a wonderful story about one of our members.

And the first ever goddess award goes to:

Member Sheri S. owner of a 150cc Vespa bought in Atlanta. Seems since the purchase Sheri battled an ever -leaking tire. It needed more air and it needed more air and it needed more air.

Finally suffering enough, Sheri thoroughly reexamined a her scoot [Sheri does it have a road name?] to find that the tire had an embedded nail.

A model Fossil, Sheri said

"I've had enough and I'm not going to take it any more".

She wrote a letter to to Piaggio, or maybe it was on the phone ( Mr. Bill told me this ... he's not a man for details) recounting her problem started when she purchased her scoot, and what it cost for the tire replacement.

Piaggio, get this, wrote her a letter and sent her a check for the cost of the tire. BOOYA

So the first Goddess award goes to Sheri. News like this that gets to me will be posted here. And no guys won't get a goddess award but I haven't decided what they will get. Any ideas?

And according to Mr. Bill, Sheri gave Piaggio praise and her vote of confidence for the best dealer in town -Scenic City Scooters. I agree

Way to go Sheri!

For complete details ask Sheri this Sunday . REMEMBER THE RIDE. Check earlier posts or call Mr. Bill. I've found the pix for the award but can't it up for posting yet.

Return of the Honda Cub??

Check these machines

Just got a report from our faithful Indian Scout that the area that we are heading to is beautiful and is about 23 miles from Wolfteavor on a low/no traffic road. The Scout also reported that we should have a great trip. Look forward to seeing as many of you as possible. We leave from Scenic City at 1:00 PM, and from Wolf Teavor at 1:30 on this Sunday.

Sunday's Weather is forecast be in the 50's and clear. So unless it is raining or snowing, or perhaps a real danger of alien abduction, the ride will be a go. Hope all can make it.

SUNDAY RIDE I'm up for a ride this Sunday, Dec 14. Lets ride to the Cherokee Place mapped below. Start from Scenic City Scooter at 1:00. For those riders living to the east we can meet with them at Wolfteever Boat Ramp at 1:30 and then proceed up Birchwood Pike. All scooter riders welcome welcome, member or not.

Could this be the Fossils???

FYI

Look 2

December Run? From what I've gathered the Cherokee Removal Park is located at the north end of the attached map, on the TN River. I'm up for such a ride. Travel up Birchwood Pike? This will be a cold ride and you will need to be prepared. Remember it is easy to get cool on a bike but it is hard to get too warm. Wind chill, in December weather will be brutal at 40 mph speeds. Hypothermia is a real concern. When do you want to go?

Thinking about scooting

Hey all you riders.... let's be sure to have a ride this month. I'm thinking about a ride to the Cherokee Memorial in Meigs county.Since there has been a suggestion of a ride through the battlefield in N. GA, post your comments on which ride you want.
The ride to the memorial will start for those in Red Bank at Scenic City Scooters. Then Hixson riders can join in on Amnicola highway by coming over CB Robinson bridge. Meet up will be at the Riverpark pavillion This oKay?
if this is okay meet the 58 side riders at Harrison Bay Park and then we're off to Birchwood.

So none of the ride is on large highways. Riders from northside can use the turnoff just before 153 to get to 58. Time from RB to Birchwood should be about 60 minutes riding.
Then back to Bill Levy's for hot cocoa, coffee, or tea.

Well if you don't like any of the posted ideas so far submit your own. Ride Captain Doc Tracy will review all the ideas and set us up with a holiday ride. Let's plan on an afternoon ride so we don't all freeze.

This weekend is too short of notice so would you like to join us on weekend of December 13th or 20th or right after Christmas.

Next year I want the Fossils to be in the Toys for Tots ride or plan our own.
BTW, is not the FGM so beautiful
Shiftless Sister

If you know of an interesting ride East of the River please let me know. A December ride is in the planning and rides to the East are being suggested. I need suggestions.

Thanks

Late this past weekend I learned that the gift of the Buddy was from my Fairy God Mother and not necessarily from Max and Bill. Prior to this time I never knew my family had a FGM attached to it, sure I had an uncle who we used to keep an eye on, but never knew about the FGM. Well anyway I was able to capture her with my trusty cameria. So here for the first time is a picture of a FGM.
