Big Fun at Scoot About this Saturday!

Come on down and join all your scooter friends at Scoot About scooter sales/rentals/service for their “WTH Happened to Summer?” Customer Appreciation BBQ!  Enjoy tasty hot doggies & Hansen’s soda while you check out some of the latest and coolest scooters to hit the asphalt!  This will take place from 12 – 4pm at Scoot About (535 Westlake Avenue North, corner of Westlake & Mercer).

Scoot About is a longtime supporter of the Westenders SC, and a loyal sponsor of our Tour di Mari rallies.  Scoot About is your ‘one stop shop’ for everything scoot.  Scoot About has a fantastic selection of scooters for sale, and a fully-stocked showroom with all kinds of gear for the rider.  Need service?  Scoot About also services pretty much all makes of scooters, mopeds, and motorcycles.  If you have scooter-less friends who what to come riding with you, bring them down to Scoot About and rent a scoot; take your out-of-town summer guests on a Seattle Scooter Safari!

Fresh off the runaway success of their first rally, The T-Town Flotilla, those fabulous Firkins will be in attendance, and then will be leading a ride to Darrel’s Tavern for the Hell on Wheels Classic Car & Motorcycle Show!  They’ll be heading out about 3pm, if you want to join them.

So get on down to Scoot About this Saturday (8/27), and check out all that’s happening!
