The Quitters http://quitterssc.org San Francisco Mon, 20 Jul 2009 22:09:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 en Riders Wanted http://quitterssc.org/2009/07/riders-wanted/ http://quitterssc.org/2009/07/riders-wanted/#comments Mon, 20 Jul 2009 22:06:48 +0000 jess http://quitterssc.org/?p=31 After almost 100 years of bickering, berating, backstabbing and bullshitting, we’ve finally come up with an “official” document that lays out the requirements for becoming a Quitter. We’ve always known what kind of members we were interested in, we just never got around to agreeing about the particulars. Or writing it down.

So brush up on those riding skills, boys and girls, because there will definitely be a quiz.

How to become a Quitter

Both Jess and Oz have blogs available, http://modernjess.com or http://oz-gt.livejournal.com respectively, discussing the road to Cannonball and everything that happened on it.  Per the standings, in the 250cc class, Jess took #1 while Oz took #5.

Additionally, you can always chat about it here

Welcome to the club, Ian, and we look forward to spending way too many afternoons cursing at the innards of our bikes with you, greasy wrench in hand, or out on the black top while stretching our throttle cables.

Our good friends, the San Francisco Scooter Girls, will be having a rally this September 5th-7th.  The Quitters have been long time fans of SFSG and their message / interests, and we’d love it if you all came out and supported them once again for their second rally ever. 

This is also supposed to be somewhat of a Cannonball send-off:  for those who may be aware, 2 of the Quitters Scooter Club will be participating in the Cannonball Run (Jess & Oz).  This will probably be the last time scooters ever seem fun.

Click here to check out their schedule!

If you’d like to discuss the rally on our Forum, check it out here!

Extra special thanks:
- To Scott, Ruben, and Valerie for blocking.
- To Curt, for a fabulous meal plus pulling a plan B out of thin air when there was no space to Picnic at Tomales Bay Oyster Company. As usual, we would be lost without you, Curt.

EDIT: And who can forget that Scott had the foresight to show up with a sound system in his top case. Thanks, Scott!

WHERE: Meetup is at Cafe Trieste 609 Vallejo St, San Francisco

WHEN: Sunday, July 13th @ 10:30 / ride at 11:30 sharp!

Join The Quitters SC for a long fanciful ride from San Francisco to Tomales Bay, Marin County’s hidden jewel of marshy wildernessy goodness. We’ll be headed to the Tomales Bay Oyster Company for some oysters and some BBQ and some general foolishness.

If you could, give us a vague idea whether you’ll be coming or not by sending a PM to Oz. This will allow us to make sure we have enough food on hand to feed everyone.

We’re planning a ride for the very near future - not just a ride amongst Quitters but just something to share with our pals as well.

In the mean time, I’d like to also mention we’ve recently voted in our first new member, Francis.  Congrats Francis, you ain’t nutin’ but a Quitter now ;)
