I'll start us off with this: EDIT: changed the title to identify the area better. ⚠️ Last edited by dchernikoff on UTC; edited 1 time

Then again, if East Bay wants one, why not South. Guess a SF/North Bay thread is next. Btw, too easy. I can snag this before work tomorrow. I start at 7a, Masala. Wanna race for it? 8)

Nah, man...it's all you - go for it. I should've done it today, but I just got caught up with stuff around the house and time got away from me. There's no way I can do it before work tomorrow - I leave the house at 0530, and I work in Fremont.

cliff notes version of the rules:
find the tag spot, take a pic with your scooter. post. pick new tag spot, take a pic with your scooter. post. As each day passes and no one gets it, you can post a hint.

...

I dunno this spot so one of y'all grab it and post the next tag so I can play when I get home this weekend

Reminder of the RULES

Here's the jist of "rules" to abide by for us. Also, let me take a shot for creating boundaries for SF South Bay. Tell me if one thing or another doesn't work and we'll go from there.

Quote:

The Rules:

* The boundaries would be Ralston Ave.-Marine World Pkwy to San Martin Ave., out Dumbarton to DeCoto-Mission-Niles Canyon-Calaveras, Felter and Mount Hamilton, and out to the Coast

* To start, someone posts a photo of their scooter with a landmark, sign, etc. Clues may be given along with the photo.

* Individually other participants ride to the same place and get a photo with THEIR scooter at the same/similar spot.

* The first person to "tag" the photo by posting their photo with their bike gets to post the next photo for people to find.

* If no one is able to identify the tag, the poster can give progressively easier clues until someone finally says "AHA!" though please don't post the location of the tag until after someone else has tagged it. The hunt is part of the fun.

* Clues are to be given every day after the tag has been posted. If no tag has been retrieved by the 6th day, the location is to be announced. If the tag has not been picked up by the 7th day, a new tag must be submitted. Not like we've been following this rule by much now, have we? It's been cold and miserable out there, so it's forgivable and I don't give a damn.

* Put on some miles - you don't need to do that much group riding....It's an unlimited mileage warranty. Get over it.

Awe guys

I was talking with the dealer yesterday, and they are actually going to deliver it to me on Tuesday. My GF is leaving town tomorrow early morning and with out her I can't seem to arrange a ride town to Santa Cruz to pick it up Saturday. So for $25 they will bring it from Santa Cruz to my door, maybe a ride next weekend would be awesome.

My few friends in this area (implant so I have variable friends) are either going up to Tahoe this weekend or unable to do it during the time frame the dealer is open.

Did you buy your scoot at Vespa Santa Cruz? I may be going over there midday Saturday to pick up stuff for Classico Moto Italia. PM me with your phone number and I can let you know if I'm heading over the hill Sat.

Hopefully I will see everyone this coming weekend
