Once I get on the road/get my scooters' lights fixed up I am going to start a Saturday and Sunday Run. I'll post up here when I'm going to start and ride to. Should be soon. Stay tuned my fellow North OTP'ers!

I pass by the place every day coming from work. I never knew what that place was. Keep us informed on the crowd and how the night goes! My scooter is out of commission at the moment but my car is still good! : - ) Thanks!

Ok I'm seeing more scooters all over the place now. Not sure if the Vespa "dealership" near me and the Scooter repairshop/sales place are the ones getting them out there. Drove around in a 5mi or so radius around my place today and saw about 5-6 scoots. No idea if they are on the forums or not, if I could have stopped any of them I would have asked...fast little buggers.

My Matrix has been being worked on the last 3 weeks. Had to run a whole new electrical set up because of my low beams and regulator issues. I'm hopefully getting it back tonight and plan on doing some weekend riding for sure. I'll post up my number once I get it back and maybe we can start an email list and let everyone know where we will meet and ride to.

Ok... got my scoot back. Ready to ride this Saturday.... If you live in or want to drive to the Kennesaw/Woodstock/Acworth/Marietta Area please PM me with your email address. Any suggestions where to meet up and where to ride is totally fine with me. I have no idea where to go yet, but I'll be thinking about it over the next 2 days. I was thinking.... Meet: 10:30AM @ J Christophers @ Towne Center Mall/Barret Pkwy. Leave: @ 11:00AM Ride: From J Christopher to Kennesaw Mountain (The Top) Then to Red Top Mountain. Then To Taco Mac @ Chastain For Late Lunch and Libations. Again.. if anyone has any suggestions, I'm open. I'm just trying this out for the first time! Here is the map of what I was thinking... maps.google.com/maps?saddr=2700+Town+Center+Dr+NW,+Kennesaw,+GA+30144-6800+(J.Christopher's+Breakfast+Brunch+and+Lunch)&daddr=33.9868881,-84.5965051+to:kennesaw+mtn+to:50+Lodge+Rd+SE,+Cartersville,+GA+30121+(Red+Top+Mountain+State+Park+%26+Lodge)+to:34.0619344,-84.5999248+to:600+Chastain+Road+NW,+Kennesaw,+GA+30144+(Taco+Mac+Kennesaw)&hl=en&ll=34.050384,-84.59404&spn=0.19144,0.41851&sll=34.06117,-84.656755&sspn=0.191416,0.41851&geocode=FTQFBwIdCqb1-iFbescsMuBqUikrQV-DIBX1iDG1D3iDhrQeew%3BFUiZBgId5yj1-imxECAvnRX1iDG5OBPWJVrGHg%3BFZRvBgIduGr1-iE9hIDL9rJdNQ%3BFfMNCQIdNHXz-iG81BBeaYRu_w%3BFW6-BwIdjBv1-ilrH1JTmWr1iDHggEAOMzD3pw%3BFSBeBwIdCJf1-iGXj2rh03nyeA&vpsrc=6&gl=us&dirflg=h&mra=dpe&mrsp=4&sz=12&via=1,4&t=h&z=12

Sounds like a sweet ride but unfortunately I am heading up Sugar Hill for a garage day with another scooter owner.
Definitely let us knows how it goes, even if you just ride it solo. I haven't been up K-Saw Mtn in awhile. Seeing a few scoots over in the Marietta Square area too. Couple of Vespa's, a Kymco and a few Aprillo's.
Got a scooter shop that opened over there selling Peace Scooters so they are popping up all over now too.

Read up a few posts and check the info.. I'm starting my own Scooter Club and having the first ride tomorrow. Its called: Royale Scooter Club All scooters are welcome since some of the clubs seem to be Vespa Snobs. Thats not saying Vespas aren't good scooters, I just dont understand the elite attitudes. Isn't it all about riding? I'm making a logo and going to get shirts and patches made in a week or so. Once I get my graphic I will create a Facebook page and email list. Hope to see you out tomorrow!

Recently bought a Linhai 300, and got my wife a Linhai Retro 150. We're on the east side of Gwinnett County, in Grayson. Would love to connect with anyone else on this side of town.

Well I have sad news folks. My scooter is no longer. Going to cost me too much to fix and can't afford to get a new engine or rebuild it. Apparently it is having compression problems and wont start. Could be a number of things. So... I'm selling it as is or for scrap. I may try to get a new one but I can't seem to find a non-chinese scooter that fits my budget. If I get one here in the future I will be sure to drop by here again and touch base with everyone! I hope its sooner than later~!

looks like there's a few of us in the same area. I'm between Marietta, Kennessaw, and Powder Springs. I normally head up to the N. Ga mountains on my weekend rides.
I'm probably not going on a long ride this weekend but would be interested in a meet and greet with some other local scooter riders. How about the Marietta square this Sunday afternoon? Anyone interested?

Marietta sportscar & scooter (Vespa, Sym & Genuine ) is having a spring kickoff this Saturday Mar 22nd. They will have seminars & demo rides. I'm going since it looks like a good way to meet some other local scooter riders and it will also be a chance to ride a Vespa which I have not done yet.

Crap Klaviator, missed your post. I normally try to scoot around Marietta Square on the weekends. Have a friend who lives over there. I did meet a scooter rider who bought a VIP from Twisted Motorsports, that you by chance? Stopped at a red light and scooted up to say hi.
Saber - bought some parts today but still need to order springs and sliders before we meet up.
