Hershey rules
I am going to Hershey for the first time but since I am 81 years old I have been forced into using an electric motor scooter. Does Hershey have some rules governing the use of these at the meet. Some have said that I need a handicapped form of some sort ar register the scooter. Does anyone know? Jack

Re: Hershey rules
You have to show a handicap card for your car. They will give you a tag to put on your scooter. They issue them up near the stadium.

Re: Hershey rules
You may need to add a soda can on a string, to drag on the ground. This way everyone should hear you coming, and hopefully clear a path for you to drive. This is what I witnessed everytime I've been to Hershey. Have a good time. Jeff

Re: Hershey rules
Thanks Jeff. I am thinking of adding an aooga horn to my scooter. I want to walk around not be confined to this contraption. Jack

Re: Hershey rules
As an old dude still able to walk, although not like the old days, I STRONGLY suggest the can on a string so I hear you coming. Been blind-sided more than once by a "silent menace" and the can does work. Enjoy!
P. S. Hope I can make a day or two this year. |

Re: Hershey rules
I still enjoy walking around looking at as much rust as I can see, while I can What I have done to keep the traffic moving along is to play the prerecord can on a string noise from my iPhone . The people part like I was Noah parting the Red Sea. Just having Fun.
I just hope for good weather!! How many people here remember the Hershey mud ?

Re: Hershey rules
With an aooga horn you'll probably offend a lot of people. That's why it was suggested to uses a tin can or aluminum can tied to your scooter dragging on the payment so people can hear you coming. You'll make a lot more mileage this way.

Re: Hershey rules
A string of jingle bells would work.
I remember when some kids would put one in the shoe string of each shoe. |

Re: Hershey rules
Kids put playing cards on their bike wheels, maybe something like that would work? The faster you move the more rhythmic noise! Please forgive me/us if we don't hear you and don't get out of your way. Just had a brain fart, how about a spring dragging on the ground or on a tire/ wheel?
Can anyone else come up with a better solution?

Re: Hershey rules
I think an Ahooga horn might get you a sore nose.

Re: Hershey rules
5 or more years ago I read the rules bored waiting for the rain to stop, if you rented from them it includes insurance, if you brought your own you needed proofs of insurance for some high amount--- what it is now I don't know
