South Side Fall Colors Scooter Ride Sunday 11/23

Fall is among my top four seasons of the year. You get to start layering, wearing interesting jackets, huddle under the covers, enjoy a warm bowl of oatmeal and take in the stunning colors of the Fall leaves – brilliant yellows, reds, and my favorite – oranges. We are a bit past the peak of the leaf viewing time of year but there are some trees out there with their leaves in full glory.

On Sunday (11/23/08) we are planning a scooter ride to celebrate the colors of the South Side. Nothing against the leaves on the North Side, we are just starting from South. Specifically, South Side Tower (aka South Side National Bank) at Grand & Gravois. The “we” is Circa Properties and the Lawrence Group, the project REALTOR and Architect/Developer, respectively.

Regular readers will note that I sold my Honda Metropolitan scooter six months ago as I couldn’t ride it following my stroke. I’m targeting Spring 2010 to be riding again. In the meantime I’m organizing a ride I can’t ride in.

This Sunday the ride starts at 3pm at the South Side Tower. We are asking all the riders to line up their scooters in front of the main building entry (little street between Gravois & Grand). Those who register for the ride will get a free pass, good for Sunday only, to the Moto Museum. The catch? You have to come up to the display on the 5th floor and see me to register and get your pass. My co-agent Leigh Maibes will lead the ride on her husband’s scooter. The ride will end up in Grand Center for a tour of the Moto Museum. The Museum is owned by Steve Smith of the Lawrence Group. I’ll meet the riders there and join you on the tour. Afterwards, those who are interested, we will walk next door and grab some dinner at Triumph Grill, also owned by Steve Smith. And to avoid any confusion, this is a different Steve Smith than the one that owns The Royale on Kingshighway. They  both like motorcycles, however.

Hopefully the weather will be nice.  Don’t put the scooter away for winter, just add another layer of clothing!
