The LASG will once again be heading to the beach to join the South Bay Scooter Club for their yearly rally extravaganza, Swerve 'N' Curve. For many LASG members, this is their first scooter rally. It's a great chance to meet riders from all over the region, see an amazing array of scooters, and take a ride around the beautiful Palos Verdes Peninsula.
We will be meeting at the Randy's Donuts in Inglewood at 10:00am and departing by 10:30am. Come a little early if you want to make sure to get fully caffeinated and donut-ed before we depart. We'll be doing the noon Swerve ride and afternoon party, then heading back in the late afternoon. (There is also a Friday night event, which we will not be organizing an official ride to.)
The route to the South Bay is friendly for scooters over 100cc. We'll be heading down either Sepulveda or La Cienega, depending on where the rally meet up is. More details on this will be announced later. As always, we will not be doing any freeway riding (but there is a 55mph section of La Cienega if we take that route).
Keep in mind that while we are organizing the ride to the rally, Swerve 'N' Curve is put on by another organization. LASG does not choose the times and locations and we don't run the ride. We'll do our best to answer any questions you may have, though.

---> NEW INFO!!: After doing the beautiful Swerve N Curve route, we will be ending the ride at the home of South Bay Scooter Club member, Mac McClellan. Mac has a great party backyard at his house, on an acre and a half of land just behind the Wayfarer's Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes. Â Be sure to bring your bathing suits as Mac has said anyone can use his nice-sized backyard pool and lounge area, where a band will be playing for our entertainment!! We'll also be serving up BBQ'd burgers & dogs, beer and refreshments from his outdoor backyard kitchen. Should be a Swerve N Curve party for the history books, so DON'T MISS IT!!

Once at Mac's house, there will also be a Scooter Show, with awards for Best Vintage & Best Modern Scooter given out after the judging.
