VW Rally,WSM,Sunday 13th April- The Pics. (plus a few more)

Postby Jim » Sun Apr 13, 2008 10:05 pm

Apologies for not getting to the Arnolfini for the departure, but instead had to do a 'Billy No Mates' solo ride to WSM, where I was well impressed with the turnout! Well done to all the guys who rode to WSM, despite the forecast of rain- and we were rewarded with quite good weather! (It's all down to having faith!) Also good to see the guys from the other clubs! To anybody who couldn't make the ride today, don't worry, there's plenty more good events and rideouts to come!

Here's a few pics-

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Jim for his roadside assistance today. There was I, stranded on the Whiteladies Road, Headset off, side panel off, clutch lever off and about to lash my clutch cable back together using my teeth, when up pulls Jim with all the tools that I didn't have including a replacement clutch cable. JOB DONE. Thanks mate, The Milky Bars are on me.

My pleasure Nathan! Everyone in the scootering community is willing to stop and lend a hand if they see a fellow scooterist having probs with their scoot! It was just a bit of luck that I took that route home!

As usual, I'm always keen to take a pic of a scoot!

Here's Nathan, looking happy after we'd sorted out his clutch cable!

Cheerz,Jim

Oh yeah, and a few more V-dubs!

Good weather, nice VWs, big crowd, lovely scoots (of course!) not forgetting a great bunch of geezers! Good time had by all!
