 Delegates en route
The two took off a few days ago, mentioning something about taking the scenic route along the coast, including a day or two in Portland. We've received a few photos from them already - mostly with Vespa of Portland's huge stock of Vespas and Stellas in the background. As of this post, they've arrived in San Fransisco and spent most of today touring the City on their bikes.
At any rate, Paul promises lots of photos to add to the club gallery, so look for that in coming days, along with a bit of narrative. Amerivespa Seattle was big, but given Los Gatos' (near San Franciso) location, we figure this year's event will be even bigger. Very cool. Have fun guys, get some good shots, ride safe, and be sure to make us all wish we'd all come along!  |

 Is that you, Wall-E? If you thought "Two-percent Bryce," and "Inland Invasion," you're absolutely correct. Though it's been posted on the Club events calendar for several weeks now, it's well worth spotlighting the 2% gang's Inland Invasion, our neighboring club's annual weekend party/scooterthon. This year - like last year and the year before - it'll be held at beautiful Farragut State Park, just north of Coeur d' Alene, Idaho. Well worth the trip, even for the scenery alone. But Inland Invasion goers know it ain't about the lake, it's about beer (free), camping (cheap), lots o' food, scooter gymkhana, the club's infamous Dairy Challenge (don't ask), and um...more beer. June 26th - 28th. Several Minions will be there. For more, see the club's MySpace page, (seems they've let their website go idle) or download the event flyer below. From Bryce's SMS string: "Wait until you see our '64 v90 smallframe raffle bike...people that don't show up and buy tickets are dummmmmbb." Inland Invasion V flyer (220 Kb, Acrobat® file) |

 Fonda? Honda? Vespa! For no particular reason (well, it helps having members with contacts), the Minions were the focus of a nice article in today's Spokesman-Review newspaper - the splash page of the "Today" section, no less. Pretty cool. The article, written by correspondent Jennifer Larue, features quotes from several clubbies, including Prez Mark, Veep Scott, Brian, Robin, Rick, Jonna, Michael and Melissa. Even club sponsor Rick Manfred of Vespa of Spokane got a nice mention.
Jennifer, by the way, says she's been thinking about getting a bike for herself. Not sure whether she's more - or less - inclined to do so after speaking with our bunch.
But no need to ramble on about the goods, not when you can check out the article for yourself at the link below. Plus, figure Mark's bought out most of Spokane Valley stock of papers already, so he'll no doubt have copies to share later on - priced to sell, we imagine. Thanks, Spokesman, and thanks to the clubbies that took time out to chat with Jennifer and show up for the photo shoot! Spokesman-Review article (weblink) |
