Austin Scooter Club

Starting this Wednesday, members of the Austin Scooter Club will meet up at the Pour House (6701 Burnet Rd in the 78757) for some beer, food, and camaraderie.  We’ll be arriving around 6-6:30pm and hanging out for a couple hours.

If you scoot in the North/Central part of town or just feel like going for a ride, then we would love it if you joined us. Everyone is welcome. We plan on making this a weekly event, so if you can’t make it this week, then pencil us in for a future Wednesday.

Just in case the first Scootour of Lights didn’t get you in the Christmas mood, there will be another one this Sunday. Linda and Desha will be leading the ride and have collected some awesome prizes to give out to the best decorated scooters. Please make sure to  vote in the poll here if you plan on attending.

Agenda

5:30 PM: Meet at Titaya’s Thai Cuisine at 5501 North Lamar #C101.
7:30 PM: Cruise around town and check out the Christmas lights.
9 PM: End at Thunderbird’s on Koenig Lane.

It’s that time of year to break the tinsel and Christmas lights out of storage and spread a little holiday cheer. Attach the tinsel and Christmas lights to your scooter and ride around town looking at other people’s tinsel and Christmas lights. Since this ride is in town, all size scooters are welcome. So deck your scooter and join the ASC for the Scootour of Lights!

Agenda

5:30 PM: Meet at Mighty Cone  at 1600 S. Congress Ave.  for some delicious and semi-famous trailer food.

6:30 PM: Go for a nice city ride around Austin to check out Christmas lights.

8:00 PM: End at Thunderbird Coffee on Koenig for warm (or cold) beverages.

Don’t feel guilty if you can’t make it out this time. Another Scootour of Lights is scheduled for Sunday, December 20. Details coming soon.

As many of  you know, a bunch of us are headed to the Third Coast Rally 5 (Scooter Libre) next weekend in San Antonio. If you are planning on heading down, here’s an update of what’s going on.

If you plan on riding down to San Antonio, your scooter needs to be in tip-top shape. Take it down to Go Go Go Scooter Shop for a $25 oil change and checkup. Don’t forget to mention the post on the ASC forum here to get in on the deal.

Vespa Austin is hosting a pre-rally mixer for us Austinites on Thursday October 1st from 5-7 pm at their shop on S Lamar.

Everyone knows that riding in a group is more fun than riding by yourself, so don’t make the trek to San Antonio alone. We are have three, yes THREE, groups riding down.

• Early Morning: Meet at Vespa Austin at 8:30am, ride leaves promptly at 9:00. Lead by Thovas and Eric.
• Afternoon: Meet at Urban Moto Shop at 2. Roll out by 2:30. Lead by Ian.
• Evening: Meet at Vespa Austin. Ride leaves promptly at 5:30. Lead by Mary.

Please post in the Forum if you plan come on one of the group rides. See everyone there!

Did you forget to buy tickets to ACL Fest or need a good excuse to get out of town that weekend? Join us on the Austin Scooter Club’s second annual quest to San Antonio for the Third Coast Rally #5 (3CR5) – Scooter Libre!

For many club members, 3CR4 was our first scooter rally. This rally is organized very well, and at least 120 people attended last year. You’ll meet fellow enthusiasts and get reacquainted with some of the Fistful of Scooters attendees.

Out-of-towners are encouraged to stay at two main hotels: The Red Roof Inn or The Days Inn Riverwalk. A discussion has been made in the Meetup section of the Forum for club members who want to share rooms and ride down to San Antonio.

Register online at 3cr5.com for $30 to make sure you get the T-shirt size you want.
