Bristol Mini Day

Postby Jim » Sun May 31, 2009 7:45 pm

Great day- helped of course by the amazing weather- pretty much wall to wall sunshine all day! How nice is it to wake up on a rideout day and look out and see a cloudless blue sky- just what we've been waiting for!

Seventeen scoots turned up at the Arnolfini, although a few guys unfortunately couldn't make it due to various circumstances- Gerry's clutch decided to self destruct on Saturday night, tho he did make it to the Mini Day (by car, but we'll let him off!) where we were also joined by Bernie, Jenny, and Stevie W, but in true hardy scooterist style, Gerry nipped home, whipped off his chaincase, sorted out the clutch and joined us later on at WSM! Gerry, you're an inspiration to us all- well done mate! Also Mike (Modmuffin) had engine probs and couldn't meet up with us as planned- bad luck Mike, but thats Lambrettas for you! Of course, there's always the Volksfest next Sunday! Also Paul (Tall) had the misfortune to have a sidepanel fall off on the way to the Arno (Doh!)- bad luck buddy!

Also a warm welcome to Steve (Shaver) who joined us for his first club rideout- hope you had a great day and we hope to see you out with us again!

Here's some pics, and there's a few youtube vids further down this posting!

Our latest recruit- Steve.

Thanx to everybody who turned up, and commiserations to those who couldn't make it- there's always the Volksfest next week!

See ya soon, Jim

Yep- somethings going on!

Colin- an envelope stuffed with used £20 notes might persuade me not to post up anymore pics!!
