There's nothing like a shared drink amongst comrads to make you smile.
I cought up with the Chilean version of the SCSC - the Vespa Club de Santiago. Like us they are a loos bunch of individual with a common passion - scooters. Although a Vespa club specificlly, they are welcoming to all types of scoots from T&G's to Heinkles.
We met at a bar in Tobolaba, near the other end of the Metro line, and shared a drink and bite to eat - not unlike our Tuesday nights. Friendly enough buch of blokes, and just like the SCSC when I first started going they were curious as to how they could attract more women to the club. I told them to be careful what they wished for - if these boys are going to get more girls coming they'll certainly end up loosing a little of the blokeyness I felt that night.
They were all curious to know what had inspired me to contact their little club. Unlike the SCSC, apparently no one visiting from overseas has ever contacted them to make friends before. I told them about people like Phil and Merot from Pride of Cleveland who were here over New Years, and others who have come alonge while in town. (I was going to tell them about Marcelo wanting to have a free place to crash when he visits but I thought that could wait.)
There is a club ride on this Saturday and Rodrigo, who I've had most contact, with has promised to see who has a spare scooty to lend so I can come along. I think they're just a little unsure how to take me but still they are friendly and curious enough to make me feel welcome and lend a hand. For me, I feel a little the same.
And I'm very excited to be going on a ride with them.
