Hey there Ive got 8 friends for a scooter ride and were looking for more people to enjoy the hobby. If your in the Chicago land area we are located near by Lagrange. It would be amazing to have a group of 20 or so out cruising. Let me knows or post up when your free or we could set up a monthly ride. We willing to travel to get more riders together.

Is a Chicagoland scootering Meetup group. Seems most who are currently riding have 150cc+ size bikes, but they seem pretty open to anything.

Also end of summer is the big Rally:

There's also a Chicagoland Moped Facebook Group, but they seem very biased against bikes without pedals, because you know, here in Illinois, it ain't a moped if it ain't got pedals. Other parts of the world, this isn't so "strict" a rule, but when talking over on Moped Army, you'll see (those are the same dudes that had threads making fun of our old forum friends the Michigan Moped Mafia for showing up at their moped rally with scooters).

All 3 of my bikes are in various states of undress, so I don't think you'll see me riding for about a month.

I think it would be amazing if we had a group of all elites out roaming the streets

I have 6-8 guys that ride too. The only problem is half of them live in indiana can't get plate's and the IL (N.A.Z.I's) police will hammer the IN boyz. COOK COUNTY OR SHOULD I SAY CROOK COUNTY is all about MONEY! Everyone from this area KNOWS that. IF you guys want to get a ride in indiana there is NO RED TAPE IN THAT STATE! NO PLATE'S,NO INSURANCE,NO LICIENCE REQUIRED.IT'S LIKE YOUR IN A DIFFERENT WORLD! Here's a link to last years ride, we rode from the IL/IN border to MI border it took 8hrs total round trip, but worth every minute!If you go to the youtube link there is 4 vids if you want to check it out......I'm 20 min from La Grange....3 block's off 80/94 IN/IL border

Whom of us posting in this thread is in a club?

Because if we're pruning forums, I can give said mod a list of topics that don't belong in "General" that still are.
Examples:

http://www.hondaspree.net/phpBB3/viewto ... =1&t=23524 Performance Tech

and that's just the current 1st page.

I just wonder why some get moved, if you're modding, go the distance and mod.

So ive dealt with the "moped" guys before. My friend rides in that group and they dont like the elites. The rukus kids in the area are just slow and sad. So we should show some ELITE force on a ride.
