We are pleased as punch to announce the newest scooter club in St Petersburg, Florida.
We call it the "St Pete Slowpokes". This new club was designed and put into action for, well, us gals, mainly, but also for anyone with a smaller displacement scooter (50cc, 125cc, 150cc) who cannot make the longer rides, such as the ones put on by the St Pete Scooter Club.
We have some neat ideas. For example, I am nuts about playing scooter tag. Ask Annie, I’ll devote a whole Saturday to it, if she doesn't reign me in. We play scooter tag on 3 different sites all over the USA, so why not right here in our own back yard? Right now, our local game is on ScootPinellas, but with enough interest, we'll shift it to our new site.
We also are asking for ideas for stuff to do when the weather isn't so nice. Maybe some kind of scooter trivia?
One of our goals is to get to the point where one of the local "joints" is interested in hosting "Scooter Night", just like the bikers have. We want to get some of the scooter dealers involved, and create a community of scooter riders.
One of our dreams is to host a real scooter rally close by. Maybe not the biggest, but the most fun.
Most importantly, we want to promote safe riding. We will post the "Rules of the Road" before our first ride.
So, come join us, see if this is the group you're looking for. Let's have fun!
Nickie & Annie
We are located at:stpeteslowpokes.com/index.php?topic=2.0

Yeah! I always wanted to take my Scoot over the Sunshine Skyway. But my little 50cc would take FOREVER to make it up that incline.

I went to Crystal River last month and thought exactly that when I was going over it in the car lol , bet it would be pretty crazy going down the other side though !.

Yup, no Sunshine Skyway Bridge for me and my 150, either. Too much work for the engine. If y'all are interested, there is an event here on the 28th you might enjoy. See the details at: stpeteslowpokes.com There is also some info about a fund raiser for a downed member of Tampa 2 Strokes there.

Can't make it on the 28th, but maybe a future event. I'll check out the site though.

Your website seems to be no longer active??? You're right. It crashed, and we weren't able to revive it. We didn't bother with a new one, because there was almost no interest in the club. we have two successful events per year, the Spring Scooter Picnic, and the Maintenance Workshop.
