 Got a scoot? Spokane Scoot!
Spokane Scoot's a classic-style, laid-back rally, including long scenic rides, great eats, local beer, cool prizes, games, live music, a city-lights night ride and more.
Sponsors? You bet. We've got lead club sponsor Vespa of Spokane, plus club sponsors Lineback & Leinen P.S., Thomas Hammer Coffee, RPM Motorsports, Neato Burrito/Baby Bar, and South Hill Spinal Care. 'Scoot sponsors include Corrazo, EcoTech, Empire Cycle, Scooterworks, Cycle Gear, Red Bull, Sandy Singh Massage and Northern Quest Casino.
Check out this year's flyer, itinerary and ride maps below. We've also got a bit of the media coverage from last year posted, too.
Gas prices strangling your travel plans? We feel your pain, and have lined up a bunch of clubbie in-home, free accommodations to help make things better. Get in touch with Scott if you'd like to take advantage.
On the other hand, gas prices seem to have made the scooter population around here explode. 50-plus riders at last year's 'Scoot...hope you'll be part of an even bigger event this year!

Stall-hungry drivers have been known to knock bikes down trying to squeeze into leftover space where motorcycles are parked legally, or more often, shoot dirty looks at riders as they take up an entire on-street space.
But that's about to change, even if only a little bit. In the wake of the new Downtown plan - which in draft form, supports two-wheeled parking arrangements - the City's getting ready to subdivide a few existing car stalls into dedicated motorcycle stalls. Being considered are five spots: |
