Stolen Scooter

A good friend of ours, Eric, had his scooter stolen this weekend. If you see it, try to get a photo of who's riding it and pass it to me at charlie@scooterbattalion.com. Stay safe out there.

Houston Scooter Battalion T-Shirts are here!

These shirts have printing on both front and back, and are available now at Scootersmith. All sizes are available for $20 each. Get yours for the new year!

Christmas light ride!

Join us this Friday evening, Dec 19, for a special ride around the near north-west side. We'll see some hidden treasures in the form of neighborhood lighting displays. Meet at Double Dave's Pizza on Ella around 6:00, eat some fantastic pizza, and we'll depart around 7:30. Afterwards, we'll ride to the Petrol Station for refreshments. See you there, and feel free to decorate your scooter!

Lights in the Heights Parade!

It's that time of year again, SECOND Saturday in December, the Lights in the Heights street party and parade. Scootersmith has registered with the Woodland Heights Civic Assn to participate in the parade, however, there are space limitations and only a handful of scooters can ride in the actual parade.
So to make it fair, the first 20 scooters to sign-up at Scootersmith will be admitted. At that time, you can find out the when and where to meet. Even if you miss the sign-up, you can still go and watch the parade and join in the other festivities! A street party is a street party. Battery operated LED light strings are available at most big box stores as well as garland and any other holiday decorations you want to decorate your scooter. And don't forget to decorate yourself too! A word of experience: this is a short, very slow moving, night-time parade. 2-stroke smoke can get everyone choked up in the wrong way, and constant shifting is a pain. I will be riding my automatic because it's more pleasant. ; -)
Again, be one of the first 20 scooters to sign-up at Scootersmith. (new location @ 727 Yale)

This is a video clip of last year's ride.
