at 1310 16 St SW @ 7-ish pm HISTORY OF THE APOCALYPSE:
Murray bought his first Vespa brand new from a dealership on Macleod Trail in 1978. He still rides that same Vespa today. In the spring of 2005 Noel left a note at Vespa Calgary inquiring if anyone was interested in going to Garden City Scooter Rally in Victoria BC as a group. And after a summer of midnight rides they went to the VCOC scooter
rally in Vancouver. Sean of Trail BC commented that a Scooter Club in Calgary was a sign of the Apocalypse. At that moment our club had a name. In 2009 we bought a club-owned trailer that can hold 8 scooters for transporting our scooters to rally's across western Canada and beyond. This is unique for any scooter club I've ever heard of. Members have come and gone, and things have changed. One thing that hasn't changed is that we meet at least once a week for some coffee and usually a ride. We hold an open ride starting from Vendome Cafe at 730pm, and a Sunday brunch meet-up for members. That's a lot of bonding throughout our 15 plus years which makes our core very tight. But don't worry we're always glad to meet new faces. ASC members have found love, found their keys, lost love, lost their mind and all the while have made good friends over the love of zippy little step-thru motor-scooters. The ASC's mandate has always been to foster a scootering community in Calgary. It doesn't matter why you like scooters, but that you do. We all have different reasons for having one, working on one, and hopefully riding one. It's not a serious business, but a fun activity.
