This coming weekend is our third annual Antelope Run. If you have never ridden Antelope, it’s a lot of fun. The island is filled with curvy roads, wild animals and great views of the valley. It’s definitely best experienced on a scooter.

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 Hiighway 89 all the way to Antelope (in Layton) and then head west. If you are coming by highway, you can exit at Hill Field or Antelope. Please remember there is a $3 park entrance fee.

The style and charm of the vintage Types 501 and 502 inspire the new Cezeta’s Type 506. Yes, Čezeta is back, and electrified. Pretty crazy looking if you ask me.

It’s been a long time since either manufacturer produced something “exciting.” They make nice bikes but sadly, they seem to rehash the same thing over and over again every year. Maybe this new partnership will deliver something the scooter lover will want!
