Getting Ready

Originally uploaded by Scoot Over Fun In Motion

The 2009 Downtown Parade of Lights is coming soon! This year it is on December 12 and Target already has battery operated Christmas lights in stock. Scoot Over has sponsored a group every year since 2003 (we won an award 2 years ago) and this year is no different. Mark your calendar and plan to join us. 2 of our favorite scooterists live on the parade route and offer us a place to decorate and prepare for the parade. The parade is a blast and we are always a crowd favorite. After the parade, we meet back at their house for post parade refreshments. It’s hard to describe how much fun this is.

You’ll find more pictures on our Community page.

Are you making your plans to attend Tucson’s annual scooter rally? This year the rally turns 22! It’s one of the longest running rallys in the US, probably the world, too. The fun starts on Friday night, 11/6, at Club Congress with registration and meet and greet and live music. (The picture is from the meet and greet in 2003.) Saturday “morning” (translated into scooter time, it might be close to noon), join the ride through the Rincon Valley to Sonoita, Patagonia, and up to the campground north of Nogales. If you stay and camp, there is food, beer, and lots of scooters. Sunday, we ride home.

Don’t let all the pictures of vintage and classic scooters keep you away… ALL scooters are welcome, and there’s a heck of a lot more of us riding modern scooters these days.

Don’t wait till the last minute to bring your scooter in for a pre-rally tune up, or hop up. We’ve got some great go fast packages for Buddies!

Visit the rally web site for more info on the rally, or stop in.

Plexus Cleaner at Scoot Over

Plexus Plastic Cleaner is a must have for every scooterist! I use it mostly on my helmet visors to keep them clean and scratch free. In fact, that’s what it was invented for… Well, not quite, but close enough.

From their website: “Plexus® was developed for use in the aviation industry – specifically, for cleaning and protecting aircraft windshields and painted surfaces. As Plexus became more and more popular, people quickly discovered it could be used on a limitless variety of plastic surfaces. Since then, Plexus has continued to grow in popularity, and today it is recognized as the most effective plastic cleaner, protectant and polisher on the market.”

My dad used it on the windows on his Cessna. Pilots need to see to be safe, just like scooterists. Plexus is cool stuff because it cleans up your stuff, makes it shiny, and protects it by putting on a micro-thin layer of shiny, protective wax. And that will make your stuff last longer. It even resists scratching!

Unless you are addicted to old classic scooters like I am, you have a lot of beautiful colorful shiny plastic on your scooter. Plexus is perfect for it. In fact, the last step of every service we do is to give you scooter a quick cleaning with Plexus.

We carry it in 13 oz cans for $8.99 and pocket sized 0.5oz cans for $4.79. The smaller, pocket sized one is perfect for you glasses. I use it on all my glasses and sunglasses.
