I have been reading this forum for some time now, have pretty much decided to buy a 250 class scooter in the early spring, Not sure which one yet. I have kind of narrowed down to the Linhai 260, 300 or maybe the MC-54-250B. But I could end up getting something entirely different. Since I have gotten this far, I have move on to looking around the area for scooter clubs and good riding areas. I am interested in knowing if anyone knows of a scooter club in the Westminster , Sykesville area of Maryland. Since Scootertronics is located here I have to believe there are others with similar scoots in the around. If no local clubs then perhaps there are others who would like to get together for group rides on the weekend. I have talked with Tommy at scootertronics and he has said that there are a number of people who go up to his place on weekends for rides and that is an option.
Thanks

If you will check the index thread at the top of this page, you will find several groups of people that have something going on in Maryland, I'm not sure if they are formal clubs or not but at least they are someplace to start.

Thanks medman, I have looked through the index. It surprise's me that there are not more people in my area that are posting on this site. Since Scootertronics is located here you would think that there would be a large group of riders in the area. I have seen a few lone riders and a few groups from time to time which actually spurred my interest in scooters. I had 3 motorcycles back in the late 70's and now feel the urge to do some riding again. Since I will not be commuting to work on the scooter for the most part all of my riding will be on weekends and would like to find others who are looking to meet up and go for rides. there are a number of great places to go from here within a 70 mile radius that would be great for day trips.
thanks again

Ranger66. I live in Sykesville just a few miles from Scootertronics. I purchased a 150 from them in July. Shoot me a PM if you want to get together and ride sometime. I have a few nice loops in the area and have not found anyone else to ride with either.

Scootertronics has offered the Maryland Scooter Club a place to met and hang out. We are going to make an area of our shop into a lounge for club meetings and met up for rides. If we see members coming to Scooter Lounge we will start setting up rides and ride ourselves because we all ride at scootertronics. If MD Scooter Club members are receptive to us we will promote the club and I am sure members will grow rapidly, we do monthly mailings and will include this info so there should not be a lack of members. Of course space is free of charge along with discounts on service for members,we have the space so lets use it.
Scootertonics is also racing again this year so we are looking for riders to join up. We will race outside Pittsburg, PA and Circleville OH among others, we are planning on racing Scooters, Motards and pocket bikes. let sus know if you are interested.

We are offering our space for group meetings and met up for rides, I have reserved a whole section of my shop and parking for scooters only and will create a lounge, a great space in a shop with a showroom and parts dept plus we are there and will help all out with whatever they have because we all have scoots from Vespa to Jonways at this time we are talking with Piaggio but thats a hard nut to crack we will see at Indy whats up
I am in this for the long hall and getting a customer is one thing keeping them is a business, once I have a customer they become very important that they continue to visit and they do to the tune of over 500 a day in repeat visits to our site when its slow, plus now we have people tha tjust come to shop and hang out
Just think how hard it is for us to stay in business because we do not drop ship, those who do just sit around when it gets slow and do nothing I would love to name these guys because they hurt the biz so bad its crazy, we work like crazy everyday to stay in biz, oh I have to say our Sport R we just got back in stock has dual rear shocks, rear disc brakes, fat 12X4 tires and scootertronics touch for 45+mph
