seanS:

mr caprice = Steven

we're coming too (early June), but unfortunately not bringing the scoots. Plan on using the Elite 80.

Yes - I would like to pre-order if I can Sean. Let's seeee.....hummm...ok I want the "Road Trip" as I could not find eggs to save my life in Victoria at 11am on a holiday monday.

Oh yea -Mr. Caprice is building a Lambretta - so maybe we should push him off his scooter if he gets it together on time - and if it runs!

[seans]

Bob...when you comming up?

SeanS:

We're booked into the Prestige Mountain Resort, Rossland night of Monday, June 11th. I was going to try to find you, perhaps take you and Kim out for beverage/dinner/late snack ? then have breakfast at Scoot Cafe on Tuesday AM before we head out to Nakusp/Galena bay. We will eventually wind our way back to Trail (area). we are looping via: Hwy 95, Fairmont Hot Springs, Cranbrook (and see Mike) and end up at Ainsworth Hot Springs, back to Nakusp, but this time down to Needles/Fauquier then onward to Kelowna for following weekend.

I would have trailered the scoots to Kelowna and dropped them off, but didn't want to use the WRX (only vehicle with trailer hitch) this trip.

hope we can visit with you. if you need anything from the Wannabee Big Apple, let me know, and it has to fit into the trunk.

looking forward to a mighty fine Scoot Cafe Brekkie.

bob,
I LOVE your itinerary. Have a dip in the hotspings at Nakusp for us (At Halcyon hotsprings or the one way up on the hill).
Have fun!

[bobskoot]

caprice:

my hobby is photography, so we have been trying to see Canada and take pictures along the way. While we have been through the Rockies, etc, we never made it to the valley of the Hotsprings, so we are doing the Selkirk Loop (minus the US part), and have decided to stay at hot springs along the way. we'll certainly be thinking of you both after a hot and dusty drive at the end of the day.

Hey Caprice, when are you guys visiting? We're up there for the Canada Day weekend. It would be funny if we were there at the same time. We're trucking a scooter up with us so Sean doesn't have to ride his new treasure when Scott borrows his Vespa. ;D

Hiya Serena. We are going up Canada Day weekend too! (Last weekend in June / First weekend in July) Great timing! Bringing Bella with us. I think we are staying at a hotel in Nelson, or with Stephen's sister just outside of Nelson but close enough to hang out and visit and go for a few rides.
Aren't you all going on a trip before that as well?

[serenak]

That's so funny! We're all heading up but only bringing one bike I think. We'll all have to get together for sure. Our big family trip isn't until September...2 weeks in Maui

Can't remember...how old is Bella?

Oh and Apple Sean, the kids were squeeling with little girl delight when we told them we were coming to visit. Get lots of sleep or drink a bucket of coffee....you'll need it to handle that level of happy.

-Serena

[Primadonna]

Bella is nearly 3 (In August) and loves older kids.
We should plan a drive/ride to the hotsprings @ ainsworth for the cars kids and scooters and then a huge BBQ or somthing.......could be fun!

Hawaii. nice! We are heading the opposite end of the earth - to Alaska for 10 days in August. Can't wait. See you all in a few weeks.

[seans]

Bob...could you stop by Empire and grab me a clutch cable?
thanx.
monday night cocktails sounds good.

sean s

[bobskoot]

seanS:

no problem-o. I'll get it before next Saturday.
see ya in about a week

bob


EDIT: I have your cable. if you think of anything else, i need to know by tonight, so i can run around tomorrow

[bobskoot]

SeanS:

thank goodness, i finally got hold of you. great to see you again. also excellent breakfast at the Scoot Cafe



Kim: nice to see you again


bob

ps: almost forgot, thanks again for the muffins. did anyone ever tell you that you are an excellent baker too

[bluebeetle]

Sean and all, I am going to try my best to make it over for a night at least. My band has a gig in Invermere on Saturday, which really effs things up, but if there is a contingent there on thursday of friday or saturday i might be able to haul the scoot over. Sean, Bob gave me your card, so i'll call you next week early-ish.

[Primadonna]

We are arriving Saturday - so make it Saturday or Sunday if you can.
Hope to see you up there.

Cheers.

[bluebeetle]

bah... i don't think i can. I am most disappointed but circumstances have conspired against me. My mom is coming for a visit, and I will be gone friday night for a band practice, and Sunday for a gig (i thought it was Saturday before) but it would be somewhat irresponsible of me to sneak off for all of Saturday too. What an opportunity to miss, drinking beer after beer with some scooterists and hoping to remember what you looked like the next day.

Thanks for the invite...maybe i'll see you all at the Kelowna Rally. I am booking that weekend off and doing my best to make it out then.

Cheers,

mike

[bobskoot]

hey Mike:

i know everyone was so hoping to finally meet you. i was holding back on your pix, but now they will be able to recognize you if you should happen to be scooting by.

Mike is the one on the right, holding up the Vespa bag:

the Kelowna rally is only a short 1-1/2 months away

bob

[Primadonna]

So you selected Band practice over us......let me tell you.....
When we meet up in Kelowna you will have lots of explaning to do !!

We will be shure to rub in how much fun we had......

Have fun at band camp.
;D

[bluebeetle]

yeah yeah yeah... another summer gone by without a rally. f.

I did get to ride with Murray from Calgary, however. I'll post a pic soon.

Thanks y'all for caring!
