Crude City Scooter Club

Hi fellows,
Thanks for coming out this year to join us.
I am pleased to report that the ride went quite smoothly with no mishaps or accidents.
I hope you'll join us next year whether it's to ride or just hang out in the lot and chat.

Cheers!

Looking forward to seeing you out on Sunday at Daravara, folks!
