It’s a friendly runabout, an urban mule, even an apex bomber. This little Vespa does something you want.

We hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween! The photo was taken Sunday on our annual Haunted Ogden ride!

The weather is definitely spooky but not wet. This means we are going to ride. Meet at the club house at 10:00 for a 10:30 departure. Happy Halloween!

This Sunday’s ride is not looking promising. For starters, the start of our ride is showing Thunderstorms. More important, there is a promise of strong wind. We will continue to watch the weather but the ride will be canceled if we have gusts and rain. Better safe than sorry.

This Vespa was crafted by artisans in Vietnam to sell for charity. Check out the video to see the beautiful and unique paint work on this beauty!

It’s that time of year again and we will be doing our annual Halloween ride this Sunday. Yes, we will take a cruise through Ogden looking at it’s most “haunted” spots and then finish at one of our favorite haunts for some breakfast (or lunch).  Please meet at the clubhouse at 443 27th St, Ogden, UT 84401. Park in the back.

Perfect video for Wednesday.

The Two Bit Membership is thinking about hosting a Utah Cannonball for charity next year. A cannonball is an endurance ride that takes place from one border to another. The route we would take would be from the Idaho border up at Bear Lake to the Arizona border in Kanab. The ride would follow US 89 for about 500 miles and will take close to 10 hours riding on a scooter.

We’d love your thoughts! Let us know if you think this is something you would do by completing the survey below.

How’s this for a Halloween Vespa? Skulls and black. Even the Piaggio logo looks evil.

This weekend marked our third annual “Antelope Run” and it was an excellent success. We had 15 riders for the event and the ride was a great time. It began at “The World’s End” coffee shop in Layton and we then headed west toward Antelope Island. We not only got our normal view of the island’s Bison but we were also privileged to see a herd of wild Antelope as well.

The island is such a great place to visit on a scooter because of it’s twisty roads, great views and limited traffic. It’s always one of the best rides of the year and it was great to have such good attendance after last week’s weather made us postpone. We know the date change did impact of a few members but we appreciate how many still attended!

The weather was absolutely perfect and our “herd” got a lot of attention from the other visitors. Best of all, we clocked in a close to sixty miles when it was all done. We did lose a couple riders because of technical issues and it was great that Brad and Shawn had the foresight to pack some gas as Dave was worried he would make it back to the parking lot. However, in the end we all had a lot of fun!

Thanks to everyone for attending. As our club grows and we look forward to next year’s ride. In fact, we will be working to make it more of a rally event with other activities, food and prizes. We hope you will join us for our annual haunted ride this coming weekend.

The Scooterwest videos are awesome to watch and learn for any repair. Check them all out.

This is an updated reminder! This coming Sunday is our next attempt at the third annual Antelope Run. The weather is looking amazing right now with predicted temperatures in the 70s and partly cloudy skies. It’s looking like it will be a great ride!

Again, we will be meeting at the World’s End Coffee at the corner of Antelope Drive and Hill Field Road at 10:00 AM. We depart at 10:30. Those coming from Salt Lake can take Highway 89 all the way to Antelope (in Layton) and then head west. If you are coming by I-15, you can exit at Hill Field or Antelope. Please remember there is a $3 park entrance fee.

If you are going to be late, want to meet us at the entrance to Antelope State Park or have any other issues, please call/text 801-668-6680
