There are two scooter clubs in Philly. And each hosts a rally. The Hostile City Scooter Club has their "Independence Day" rally the first weekend of July (This year was "ID7: Lucky Number 7), and The Rabble Rousers have their "Revolution" in the fall. This weekend (Oct 5 - 7) is "Revolution IV: Rise of the Machines". Suffice it to say, I am not planning on going... I'm just getting into the swing of riding alone. I'm not sure I can handle being around dozens of scooters, not to mention their riders...just yet.
The weekend's activities vary from hanging out in bars, to breakfasts at Vespa Philly and IKEA, Karaoke at Johnny Brenda's, time trials, and various group rides – these include one up Kelly Drive to the Laurel HIll Cemetary, as well as a 2am cheesteak run to Pat's & Geno's, and finally, the most intriguing of rides – The 2am "True Crime Ride through Kill-a-delphia", where you can visit some of the city's most notorious crime scenes. Eek.
