WKRP2010 Meeting Folks at Metro

We arrived at Metro Scooter early and JD was already there directing traffic. He put us nicely all together and we put our new banner up across several of our scooters. It is a great way to present out group.

It was then that I suffered The First Great Disappointment of WKRP 2010: no quiche. Last year Kymco sponsored the breakfast and I had built it up for all the LSG folks about how good it was. This year: doughnuts, coffee, fruit, juice. I did meet a gal who was helping with the breakfast. She was no XYL, but a friend who wanted to help out. She looked pretty biker more than scooterist and she asked me if I had one of the "united state patches" that displayed all the states where you could color in the one’s you’d been to. I told her I was waiting until I got a few more states!! I asked her what she rode and she said a honda rebel 250. She’s cool in my book. Safe roads, biker gal!

Next there was this bloke who was running around and little did he know it, but he was the object of all my green envy. He was one of the Vulcans—a scooter group from France—and he was patches all over from all the rallies he’d attended with no solid inch to spare! I introduced myself to him and shook his hand after taking his picture. His name was Lionel, and I gave him an LSG card. He is the first Frenchman I have met who I can say I thought was polite.
