Yep, did it one year on a whim and people wanted to tip us, and after that we decided to plan it better and raise money for a different non-profit group each year. This is the fourth. A big Harley is riding with us this year.

Well Kudos to you sir! Is there anything any of us can do to help your event? Maybe a link for donations?

Ps... Use the Harley for Cop Bait. A scooter riding Uke player don't fair too well in the slammer

I went to a dealer yesterday that had a nice clean 2006 Grandvista 250 with 1800 miles, it sounded almost exactly like mine. SO hopefully i'm making the noise up in my head. Also had a scooter/bike mechanic friend look at it, he said is sounds and runs fine.

Here is the non-profit we are supporting this year. It is an arts and music festival that happens monthly in our town.

Here is a LOOOOONG video of our trip last year. It's not me on the B&W but it is the one I ended up buying.

Here's some pictures from the tour.

The kymco kept up with a Harley Road King and a Honda Helix all day, cruised at 53 most of the day but occasionally 65 when we were behind schedule. Perfect day in Kansas in July. High was 88 wind out of the south about 10 MPH. Just a whole load of fun.

We raised almost $550.

I hope you don't mind if I call you all the "Goofy Ukes".

Looks like a blast. If you fellas ever think of taking a Florida trip I have a couple of contacts for Pan Handle gigs. (Carrabelle).
My best friends here own a club on one side of the river (throw a coin), and good buds own one on the other side.

Fathoms, and Fish Camp Restaurant.

There is ALWAYS a place to stay down here.

We've been called worse...by each other! Never been to FL, might take you up on it if we ever get that far from KS.
