The local scooter club (of which I am a member albeit not a good one since my loner ways keep me off by myself most of the time) is having a big scooter rally on August 18-20 in State College, Pennsylvania. If you like rallys and riding in the absolute sweetness of rural landscapes then this is a must event.
In addition to all the usual rally activities you’ll have the chance to see a lot of scooters both vintage and modern. To register for the rally go to this link:
And to check out the scooter club website:
There is a link on that page to the club’s discussion list in Yahoo so you can join that as well.
Back to the idea of the rally. If you have been reading this blog very long you have probably figured out that I like riding alone. I like to stop when I want (and I stop a lot) and I don’t enjoy riding in a military assembly. Add to that my semi-aversion for crowds and a rally just doesn’t add up to fun for me. It seems a lot like a wedding or big party….
That said I do realize I am in a tiny minority and most riders love these kinds of get togethers. A guy at work told me about a big event of BMW riders that had thousands of bikes. Thousands….
Anyways, don’t be like me. Get yourself to this rally. The ride to State College has so many wandering backroads that it will be sublime. And once you get to State College you can adventure through everything the scooter club and a college town (Penn State) has to offer.
I’ll probably be at the rally with my camera. Gives me something to hide behind…
