Sweet Ride to Point Mugu
LTD met up with its newest member, Matthew Hill, for a glorious ride to Point Mugu. Taking the back roads through Camarillo and Channel Islands, sailing to the Pacific Coast Highway was a breeze. With summer slowly coming to an end, this ride was a sweet reminder of the joys that a weekend ride like this can bring. The weather was beautiful, with just the right amount of heat to make a smooth ride along the coast a dream. The ride began in Simi Valley and winded through Santa Rosa Rd. and into Camarillo. From there it was a quick ride through the fields of Camarillo, past CSUCI, and onto the PCH. Going a steady 50mph, LTD worked their way to Point Mugu, pulling over to take in the ocean breeze as waves crashed against the old road that once wrapped around Mugu Rock.
If you haven't taken your scoot along the PCH yet and experienced Point Mugu or the other wondrous beaches of So. Cal, add that to your list of things to do before you die. LTD

Spreeeeeeeeeeeee!
The original was a glorious white. A limited edition green was offered in 1985. In 1987 the gem became available in blue. The dash, front signal lamps, and tail lamps were redesigned to a more aerodynamic shape. This is important stuff guys – so keep reading. Also added that year was a glove box… which = brilliant. It enabled riders to could carry necessary trinkets and accessories such as digital watch/calculator or pack of gum.
Let’s break it down…
Pros:
* Great logo
* Great mileage
* Beautiful gauges
* Sleek body
* Easy to find OEM parts
* Makes you look cool
Cons:
* N/A
If you have a Spree or used to ride a Spree and have pictures, please submit for us to post with this blog. What spurred this blog post into existence? Well, I’m glad you asked. Tom Mankowski , LTD member and activist, stumbled upon a beautiful Spree in Madisson, WI. Talk about LTD.

The greatest picture ever taken of the day!
It was a cold, rainy Winter day last February, the air smelled of oranges and apple sauce when John-Paul Gutierrez (of JPedia fame) and scooterless LTD member Tom (no fame) took a little ride to Bristol Farms. There they enjoyed some good cheer, a delicious peanut butter cookie, and the beautiful sounds of West Lake Village I think or it could still be Thousand Oaks...I digress, and whilst the panni’s were delicious, Tom had the Santa Fe minus the cheese (please see previous entry regarding NDC), JP had the Italian (he’s getting married in Italy and thinks it’s clever to eat only Italian things, ps, it’s clever), nothing was better than seeing this trooper, Curtis Theodore ‘Scoots’ McGee, on his way to Barnes and Noble. Finding their way over to the discount books on Geiger, they approached Scoots for a little one on one time. A man of few words, when asked where he got such a gem, Scoots replied, ‘the getting place’, to which Tom replied, ‘Nice, I loved that movie.’ Scoots said only, “Old Country was a book first there Trevor, put down the remote, you’re in B&N.” A true life lesson here, take note campers. LTD.
*Nothing in this post actually happened other than the sandwiches and some guy who’s name was prolly Bill had an awesome scoot and never replied to my Missed Connection on Craigslist…ok I didn’t post to craigslist either and this post prolly makes no sense and hopefully Becky will cut it down to “guy on sweet ride”
