I'll try this again.  It didn't go the first time:

Hello group,
I wanted to pass along some info regarding scooters in the news.  Channel 9
was out here at my work and did a piece with me about riding scooters, gas
prices, etc.  They also said they had stopped by Atomic Brown as well.  I
put in plugs for the shop and Pam and Steve as well as the club and with any
editorial luck they will not edit it those plugs out!  They said there will
be short piece on the 4:00 news and a longer piece on the 5:00 news (channel
9!). The primary focus for the story was alternative means of transportation
with rising gas prices. So check it out if you can.
Thanks and here's to scooters.

Gang,
  In yesterday's issue (Aug. 25 2005) of THE JOURNAL RECORD
there's a full page story on the last page titled "SCOOTERMANIA"
  It talks about what we already know...scooters are cheaper to own,
economically and ecologically friendly and fun to boot.
  If you can get your hand on a hard copy you may want to check it out.
You could go to www.journalrecord.com but you have to register on
their site to view archived stories. C'ya

If anyone has photos they want posted, get with Matt.  I know we
didn't get a lot that night and he'll want to put them on the website.

Hello all,


I have put a few pictures up from the Progressive Dinner on Aug 20th,
2005.   I think Brian, has some good shots that he is going to put up
there as well.  You will be able to find these pictures under the
Photos section on the group in a folder called Rides and Rally's
and then Progressive Dinner. I have a lot more pictures there are only 7
in the folder now.  I am going to look to find a place to store more
photos for the group and send the link out to everyone.  If you have
some pics that you think are good please send them to me and I find a
spot for them. Also if you are a dialup user please beware that it
will take a while for the pictures to load.  If you have any questions
about pictures or want some of them just let me know.


Thank you,

Kent

I am in the process of reworking some of the photos that I took this
weekend. I may set up another place for our photo posts.  You can go
ahead and post some of them and if we need to resize them or anything
I can do that and move them if need be to the new spot.

Thank you,

Kent

I had some good pictures from the progressive dinner over the weekend
but I wasn't sure if I should just post them here.  There appeared to
be little memory space for photo's so I didn't know if we should be
cautious about posting to many pic's.  What do you think?
Thanks,

To the Allies,

I think a Halloween season "Scary Scoot" down to Bricktown for dinner
and a haunted house would be a fun ride. We could decorate our scoots
with seasonal accessories to add to it.
   A charity ride would be good too, something for maybe the food banks
or scoot for sclerosis.

What about printing up a calendar with photos of members and scooters
from various rides or get togethers, we could sell them for our
charity events or at our rallys.

There's a quick two cents worth from me...let's keep this rolling!

Curiously,
huntur

I just wanted to thank Matt, Michele, Steve, Pam and Michele's Parents
for putting on a great dinner for the club last night.  I think that
it  show's that this club is great! Come rain or shine we still had an
awesome time! I am working on the pictures from last night.  They
should be under the photos section of the group soon.


Kent

Thanks Shelly for setting up the group, it will be a great resource
for all of us.

And thanks to everyone for coming out last night.  Despite the rain it
was a lot of fun!!
Michele

I would like to thank Steve all the way from Germany for helping me get
my scooter up and running.  It's running like a champ.  Also, I posted
some pics of it in the "photos" section.  Check it out if you want.

Kudos on setting up the group, Michele.  Hello to everyone else as
well.  I enjoyed meeting all of you while I was in town and loved the
ride around Overholser.  I'm now back in Germany and have purchased my
first scooter, A Vespa PK 50 XL.  My wife, Heather, and I had been
discussing buying a scooter for the past 2 years, but after visiting
the states and scooting with everyone we were hooked.  No more excuses,
it was time to buy.  It's sitting in the garage right now with a
battery charger hooked up to it.  After my first ride, I didn't turn
off the gas for about 2 hours, and flooded it.  Then I killed the
battery by trying to start it with the electricstart.  And that's one
reason why I'm joining this group, so I have other scooter enthusiasts
to help me through my amateur mistakes.  The primary reason of course,
is to support the OKC Curiosity Scooter Club and keep up with the
group's activities.  Can't wait to hear what's going on.  Thanks again
for the wonderful memories.
-Jason

If you would like to add events to the calendar, please do so.  I am

from the entries in the calendar.

We have a few folks that have joined and please encourage others to
join the list and meet other scooter folks!!
