Roughnecks Rideout Sandnes - Ims - Høle

Life is good! 13 days past due the little princess arrived, and we can now officially call ourself a family. It's been a hectic two weeks, and things are finally settling down, so I actually got time to join a rideout with Roughnecks this Sunday!

Weater was perfect! The trip went from Sandnes - Ims - Høle - return.

Congratulations to Affi, getting his 8" wheel Vespa back on the road with a rebuilt engine!

A very nice rideout indeed!

My local scooter club

I have been riding Vespa scooters since 1994, but it is not until recently that I started socialising with fellow enthusiasts. For some reasons, Stavanger does not have a very large community of scooter enthusiasts, unlike for example Bergen, Kristiansand, Drammen or Trondheim.

I've been following the Vespa scene on internet for quite a while, and discovered that a Stavanger based scooter club had been started this year; Roughnecks Scooterclub.

Primus motor for the club is this guy: http://vespatouring.blogspot.com/ (Norwegian only)
Roughnecks Scooterclub does not have its own website yet, but can be found on Facebook (sorry, in Norwegian only).

The club has betweeen 5-10 active members, but more are welcome!
