Letter to Argo/BajajUSA: "Good evening! I just wanted to let you know that the North American Bajaj fans have decided it's high time to hold a national Bajaj-specific rally. The date and place are yet TBD, but we would LOVE it if BajajUSA would support this effort. Would you folks be interested in sponsoring the event in any manner? I think it would be a truly wonderful thing if a representative could make it to the event. We're looking at St. Louis or Kansas City, most likely in the late Spring of 2009. We all love our bikes and look forward to hearing your feedback." Response from the President of Argo/BajajUSA: "Of course! Keep me updated on your progress. You are taking on a difficult task. I would suggest you talk to Barry Gwin, the owner of San Francisco Scooter Centre. He has many years of experience running successful scooter rallies. He would be happy to chat with you and give you some pointers. You can always get him on his cell phone: XXX-XXX-XXXX Regards, Al Kolvites" How cool is that? _________________ http://FistsOfCurryRally.com My baby: http://www.KitschyKitten.com/bajaj-chetak-scooter/ ...

If this happens, I'm mos def coming out from Berkeley. I'll find a way to make it happen. I'm hoping that by Spring we're talking about late Spring...if any of us are going to ride from the West Coast it would be nice to make it over the mountain ranges without the possibility of snow. I can hardly wait! _________________ 2005 Chetak Wed Aug 13, 2008 5:38 pm Crusader Tom Joined: 10 Aug 2008 Posts: 513 Location: Kansas City, Kansas OK ...i used to organize the rallies for the Kick Back SC in the 90's the rallies were camp-out affairs and drew around 100+ participants... we called them "Kick Back and Relax". 1997 me in my viet-nam "anti-sunburn" hat ...i swore i would never organize/help/plan another rally. ...but, an all Bajaj Rally? well, i would like to see that happen. i would officialy volunteer my knoledge and services for such an event. i know angry j and monza are overloaded with their tornado rally planning... it was talked about on another post about doing it in Kansas City. We have good luck with rallies hear in the "heartland" mostly because we are in the middle of the country... I-70 goes coast to coast and right through KC. we have some excellent local brewery's and the best BBQ in the country. if you(we) decide to have a National Bajaj Rally i think Kansas City would be perfect! no matter what or where... i'll help as much as i can. -tom _________________ i'm uncool. and i'm cool with that.

Modifiable for the Chetak? Maybe. Inspiration for those looking for some new cowl graphics..mmmmm. http://www.janchipchase.com/blog/archives/2008/06/autorickshaw_mu.html For some reason I keep going to the songs that are being associated or recommended for the rally. The one that goes thru my head is Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side" changed to A Chetak here and a Legend there Kansas City's the place where We say hey babe, Take a ride on the Bajaj-side Said hey babe, take a ride on the Bajaj-side and the Four Stokes sing Putt-Putt-Putt-Putt-Putt-Putt-Putt-Putt-Putt-Putt-Putt-Putt-Putt-Putt-Putt I forgot about Lou's Scooter Ad from the 80's.

Razz well, I am sure I wasn't the first to turn the phrase, but I had been throwing it around for about the last year and hadn't seen it tun up anywhere else in relation to scooters. Initially I considered it a Inter-club group for those of us with Indian made, Italian designed scoots ( LML, Bajaj, SIL, etc...) I then thought it would be a good t-shirt for those of us with scoots with go-fast parts (I'm a stellaspeed regular). one of my other fledgling ideas was that at rallies Fists of Curry members would donate a pot of really hot curry to the BBQ/potluck/buffet/food offerings. I think under the current incarnation a freakin' hot curry should be offerd at the rally. Olivene dropped the phrase here regarding our attendance at AmeriVespa. Anyway I am glad to see it in use and being organized as a rally. Good luck! _________________ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Apparently, the words “flammable” and “inflammable” mean the same thing.
