First we rode to Steak & Shake Hwy 37 for breakfast (4 of us). After breakfast we rode way out past Grabill, All over out that direction. Then we came back out south east of Ft Wayne to my house. We rode about 70 miles total. It was fun and what a great day for a Scooter ride. Ratrod, I wish you Good luck finding a Scooter to ride. CL has Scooters all the time. Just check them out good before you buy one. Hope you can join us for a ride soon.

same here. there is this 1 but have never heard of them lol fortwayne.craigslist.org/mcy/3027734260.html and i have nothing against vip scooters. i prefer the older style like a metropolitan, vino, or some of the chinese copies. the other hold up is funds. sounds like a fun ride and wish i could have been there.

Sorry Rat I dont know them. I am not in the scooter business. If it was me, i wouldn't be posting links to other scooter business when John is in the scooter business too. That is how he makes his living.

that is true. its a new ad and didnt recognize the number. seems like ppl are popping up with the scooters all the time as a "business". i also know scooter boy runs a shop and wish him the best of luck. from what ive read hes a good guy and reputable to boot. a combination that cant be beat! you guys be safe tomorrow.

Well Rat.. We all showed up at Richards restaurant this morning at 9AM. Well I shouldnt say all because Dan had to work today. John had problem with his scooter, so he drove his van. Sherry rode with him in van to the restaurant. So I was only one with a scooter today. hehe

Hi Ratrod, Trust me this is a great group of guys, you can always show up and enjoy bfast with them even if you have no scooter to ride later. John is a great guy that will stand behind anything he sells so when he comes across a good deal that you can afford he will do you right, My next scooter I buy will come from him..

Hey Guys, since Larry got job in different city toward end of season last year.. The scooter club hasn't been the same. He was the founder of the club, and we use to ride for many hours every Sunday after having breakfast at McDonald. Those were some of the best times I ever had!! I missed those days. This year we down to total 4 members. We pretty much just a Breakfast Club now. Which means we meet for breakfast, and then we go back home. The fun factor isn't there anymore. .Just doesn't have the same feel like it did last year. I join scooter club to go on scooter rides. Not just to meet for breakfast only. I am finish doing that. I will stay home instead. Plus it might help me lose some of my weight skipping a big breakfast. LOL But if you guys do go for scooter ride, let me know. I will be there with bells on !

I em truly humbled, I'm so humbled that I just not even sure what to say.. I too enjoyed the rides, and often when Sunday rolls around I em wishing i was still there.. For me it was about the fun, we are always spending the week stressing about making a living.. Sunday we got to leave all that behind and just have fun.. At least that was how i saw it..
I wish my scooter could make the trip, I really do, seems like one problem after another with that dam stroker, enough so I can't trust it to even get me there and back. let alone a day of riding. The stroker was a bad decision on my part... We will ride again Phillip the summers not over yet

Your welcome Larry. yeah we sure had some fun times last year! Wishing you were here too...Sorry to hear about your stroker, but dont have clue what that is. If that bad, then you made right decision not coming to Fort Wayne on that. I have faith in you that will fix it. Hope to see you this summer too! I have good news. The place where i bought the scooter from agree to help out with the labor cost. weeeeeeeee They also ship the gaskets. I ask for piston cylinder, head, and exhaust gaskets. Should be here tomorrow.
