Scoot Riding, its not just a solo activity!

I am so far behind in my writing it is not even funny!  Since writing last I have participated in 2 separate group rides with two different groups of riders.  Lots of fun and an awesome way to meet fellow riders.  Where else can you meet people you would  not ordinarily meet, whether at work, church or regular social circle?  The first event occurred through the riders at Music City Misfits.  They tend to go with the classic iron of Vespas and similar style bikes.  I think I can safely say mine was the newest style model, even though there was recent model Buddy's in the bunch.  Our day started out at the Ugly Mugs on Eastland Avenue, I arrived on time so I did not get a chance to try out the drinks and see if there was something to eat.  I spotted fellow rider Andy and munched on some peanut butter crackers till it was time to go.  We went over some basic rules and the route that we were taking.  I am going to admit at this point I got lost over where we were going, and the map I will post will show that!  We started off and our first stop, as typical with any group ride was at Krogers to fill up and off we went.  We made our way through the hills and valleys around Goodletsville, around Union Hill and Shackle Island.  We hit a good mix of 2 lane roads, major highways and country lanes.  Met a couple of Harley gangs and had a great time.  We ended our ride at a Sonic's in the Rivergate area and had late lunch together.  Now for what everyone likes to see...on to the pictures!  I also want to apologize to everyone I met and not mentioning in the pictures, names is not my strong point. :(

 

  

Hmmm...possible styling point from a 1966 Porche 912?

 

 

One more gas stop before we got done, someone had a thirsty bike!

Time to fuel up the humans in our group, I was starving!

Group rides is a lot of fun, keep in touch with websites that post such events, the ones in Nashville include KymCoJones, Eastside Scooters, Scoot Nashville and Music City Misfits.  If you know of any that I have missed feel free to leave comments!

Here is the map of this ride, it is vaguely accurate, if you know of a correction let me know!
