Dont drink too much, only hit on single chicks, walk away from arguements before the fight starts but most of all enjoy it :)

Post by: Alvin on August 20, 2012, 01:06:17 AM: Attended the TMI Scooter Club Meltdown 2012...Great weekend and awesome event. Saturday was a great day for a ride and I choose to do the "slow" ride as a new scooterist...didn't want to slow down the big scoots! We did 60 miles through the scenic roads of Central PA...beautiful and well planned. The plans put in ahead were evident...blockers provided, no turn confusion, constant, even speed and always kept the group together. Lunch half way and even a gas stop...just in case!

Back at the campground we waited for the classics and the long ride to return so games could begin. There was a gymkana, a slow scooter race and a relay...all great fun to see! Good live music, delicious food, terrific raffle prizes...and a late night slip and slide! Club members walked around with "atomic" jello shots glowing green...TMI stands for Three Mile Island, you know!

Ride today with those who had not yet left for home was to the PA State Capital.

So many beautiful scooters! What a great group of people...all willing to share info and help out. Following Streido's advice was a good thing... ;D Made for a very pleasant weekend!

of York. I am wondering if you are anywhere in the neighborhood?

Post by: Alvin on August 21, 2012, 02:54:48 AM: Oldie...I'm west of Harrisburg. Have you ever done a rally? The Not Summit Point Rally is in Gettysburg the first weekend of October. I understand there are a lot of classic scooters but everyone is welcome!

Post by: Oldie on August 22, 2012, 08:50:50 PM: Alvin, I have never been to a "Scooter Rally". I have however attended probably 50 or so Motorcycle rallies over the
last 20 years. It sound like a lot of the activities are geared about the same with rides and bike games! I will
have to check on the Not Summit Point Rally. Do you know the location in Gettysburg and do you need pre-registration?

Post by: zombie on August 22, 2012, 11:43:54 PM: Sounds like a great event. I'll bet you're happy you went.
Thanks for finding that paragraph Ronnath... I was looking in the Magna Carta. Obviously I didn't find the paragraph...

Post by: Alvin on August 24, 2012, 01:50:07 PM: The Not Summit Point Rally is held at The Moose Park off of Rt. 30 in Gettysburg. Not sure about the preregistration...I will check on which club is the host and let you know.
