I wish!

Right!?! I figured we'd never get to an AmeriVespa, but here we go!

Are any SF Bay Area local groups attending in 2023? Mrs jimc & I are intending to trailer our scoots to a campsite that just 15 miles away from the Flagstaff venue.

Are people planning to rejet their two-strokes for high altitude?

The Phoenix Scooter Club is meeting with Robot at Vespa Motorsport SD next week, if all goes well we will be filming a video with him about jetting... it's 9000' so it's important. Thanks!

From the Phoenix Scooter Club, the Lions of Scootah and the South Bay Scooter Club, we're all excited to see you there! It's going to be huge. Our 3 clubs have been working for 4 years and were excited to be the first Arizona Club selected for this huge event! Feel free to write me if you have any questions! More info coming on www.amerivespa.net

How do I register at hotel and recrvie the group rate

Call the hotel at 1-800-352-4386, and tell them you're with AmeriVespa, Vespa Club of America, or the VCOA. If there are any discount rooms left, you're in. If not, Flagstaff has quite a few places to stay within a few minutes from the official hotel. Although they may not be as posh, the majority are decent.

You can find most of the info you may need at amerivespa.net
