Austin Scooter Club

October is around the corner, and the annual Austin scooter rally organized by the Riff Raff Scooter Club will be going on the 1st thru 3rd. If you haven’t registered, then head over to the For A Few Scooters More website and register to be part of this fun-filled weekend. Registration information and schedule details are on the site.

Some of the swag bags for everyone who registers will include a souvenir from the Austin Scooter Club currently available in a very limited quantity. This photo will spoil the surprise to all of you who read the ASC News bulletins:

The Riff Raff Scooter Club will host The 2nd Annual Austin Scooter Rally on the first weekend in October. 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 ForAFewScootersMore.com.

3CR5 pics have been posted in our Forum. Log in and post your own. We’d love to see them.

We’re also looking for some videos from this rally to post on our News page. Spread the word. Please get in touch with us through the Contact page to request access to our FTP site to upload your footage to share with the club.

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.
