How long have you been riding?

4 years.

What types of ride are you interested in? Up the coast, casual city riding, canyons and mountains, long-distance touring, whatever?

What Eric is saying about this Meetup Group

This is really a very casual, laid-back group of people who just want to ride together. There's no scooter snobbery or that other hostility seen in some groups. The group is very open to any and all willing to come without attitude.

    Long Beach International Motorcycle Show

    "FYI, not a lot of scooter companies there this year from what I've heard. Aside from Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha, only Lance was at the San Mateo show. Now Piaggio Vespa. No Genuine, Kymco or SYM. Don't know if they're coming to LB."
