Boston Scooter Rally, June 15-17th
And Boston…  A few of us have already made our plan s to RIDE TO BOSTON for the Boston Stranglers’ Rally June 15th to 17th.  Will you be amongst the adventurous?  To date, it’s Justin Grant, Erin Trainor, Mary Otto, BJ Chapman and myself scooting down.  I can’t wait!  There’s also news about the 74th Crusaders holding a Casino night in the spring.  Might make for a good excuse to ride to the Valley, no?
