    In a great day scoot through the south sound area of Washington State, we collect four ghost stories from four bars with four riders and re-tell the fateful meeting of The Lizard and Mean Jean at Joe's Place in Bucoda.  From Tacoma to Roy to McKenna to Tenino and Centralia hear scooter banter, bar histories, and ghosts stories! Original music from Seattle band, Weeknites. #vespalife #paranormal #vespa #haunted #divebars #amerivespa #olympicclub #joesplace #thelandmark #waltsplace #weeknites #thestables #ghosts #seattlebars.org

    A joyful day-scoot (while playing hooky from work) in search of old Tacoma ghosts in great bars! A visit and story or two from Casey at The Swiss, Joseph at Pacific Brewing, and Andrew Hansen of Tacoma Ghost Tours.  Side trips to Doyle's Public House, 7-Seas Brewery, and Tacoma's own Red Hots for a great dog. Bobby Chong and The Lizard sit-in whilst Mark and Mark ruminate about the ride, the day, and the bars. Even some discussion of the upcoming Amerivespa Rally coming this July in Seattle. #tacomaghosttours #theswisstavern #pacificbrewing #paranormal #hauntedbars #amerivespa #vespaclubofamerica #modernvespa #divebars #weeknites #redhots #7seasbrewery
