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?

All of the above.

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.

You must be signed in to post a Greeting.

    Scooters De Los Muertos!

    "Now we know: Cathedral is the place to park downtown. Free parking for scooters! The city lots wouldn't even let us in. Otherwise nice ride and good destination. Unfortunately, I had to take off early. I didn't even get a churro!"

    "You have the Fulmer V2, right? From what I can tell, this does not have a removable liner. You can try cleaning it with Woolite and warm water then letting it dry overnight or even maybe blow drying it...."

    Doo-Dah Parade: Group Costume Ideas

    "The Pasadena Parade is much more colorful and festive than Halloween… Are you feeling particularly morbid these days, Skootz?"

    Doo-Dah Parade: Group Costume Ideas

    "Might be seen as infringing on the Vespastics, a somewhat defunct LA scooter club that keeps threatening to come back. There are various face masks and bandanas for riders that cost anywhere from $5-$15...."

    future rides

    "The GP Lights are pretty fun—the first couple times you do it. It's 40 minutes of practically walking your scooter along in the cold. I'd definitely be up for seeing some other lights. There were some suggestions last year; I'll try to dig them up."
