Austin Scooter Club

The Riff Raff Scooter Club is hosting The 3rd Annual Austin Scooter Rally on the last weekend in September. Registration is $40 and includes: food, drink, T-shirt, rally patch, and swag bag. A running vintage Vespa 90 will be raffled off at the end of the rally. More details about the rally and everything you need to register is located at riffraffsc.squarespace.com.

The weather has been scorching hot for the past few months, and most of us are ready for summer to be over. Come on out and get a nice morning ride in before the temperature gets unbearable. The group will depart at 10AM from Jo’s Coffee at 1300 S Congress St so arrive early if you want to have some breakfast before we leave. Eric is leading and anticipates the cruise around town will last a couple hours. The ride will finish at Austin Java at Enfield and Lamar and is open to scooters of all engine sizes.

Austin Scooter Club has been invited to a free special advance screening of Larry Crowne on Tuesday, June 28th at 7:30pm.

From the Larry Crowne website:
“Academy Award® winners TOM HANKS and JULIA ROBERTS come together for a romantic and optimistic comedy about how the hard knocks from today’s recession inspire one everyday guy to undergo a personal reinvention and find an unexpected second act in his life: Larry Crowne.”

In the film, Larry Crowne joins a scooter club! Join us for this FREE event. If you are reading this, then you are invited! We have been given priority seating and immediate access to this special advance screening to those who arrive by 6:30pm on Tuesday with our exclusive epass. Download your epass here, print it out, and meet us at Regal Cinema on Stonelake Blvd to see Larry Crowne before the release date.

If you would like to attend this event, then please make sure to review all of the info on the epass and arrive early. Seats are not guaranteed, and they are first-come, first-served.

Eric will be hosting a scenic ride to San Marcos this Sunday, June 5th. We are meeting up at Jo’s Coffee at 1300 S Congress at 10 AM. Drop by our Forum to let us know you’ll be joining us. We are stopping for lunch at Herbert’s Taco Hut in San Marcos. Don’t forget to bring water and sunscreen!

WHEN: Sunday, May 8th, 9:45 a.m.
WHERE: Paco’s Tacos at 1304 East 51st Street
STANDS UP: 10:30 a.m.
BACK IN AUSTIN: 3:00 p.m. (??????????)

HELMETS REQUIRED!!!!!!!!!!!

ARRIVE WITH A FULL GAS TANK!!!!!!! No planned gas stops. Ride is only about 55 miles. My one-gallon Vino tank made it with gas to spare.

Don’t forget your camera and cowboy hat (or any other fun cowboy prop)!!!!

We’ll meet at Paco’s Tacos http://www.yelp.com/biz/pacos-tacos-austin for coffee, tea, juice, whatever. Then we’ll take a fairly short ride to “downtown” Manor for a late breakfast at Ramos Restaurant & Discoteca (no website — good Mexican food). Take an indirect, country-roads route to the J. Lorraine Ghost Town for pictures, fun, hanging out, a Klondike Bar, whatever. http://www.ghosttownaustin.com/ Then back to Austin.

Of course, it all depends on how long we stay at the Ghost Town, but I think we’ll be back in Austin by 3:00.

BE THERE!
