A good number of scoots turned up at the Arnolfini this morning (Sunday 7th June) considering the really bad weather forecast of heavy rain for the day. Also a few guys couldn't make it because of other commitments- no probs, there's always next time!
Actually, the weather turned out to be OK, and we didn't see any rain, and the sun came out for a good time- talk about having faith, it was a case of the BMSC improving weather picture!
The ride there was not without it's problems- myself and Rich P were riding side by side when we heard the dreaded sound of a spotlight hitting the road (the Mod scooterist's nightmare!)- after an abrupt stop and a quick stock check, it was one of Rich's spots that had fallen off, leaving a bit of a gap in his perfect arrangement of chrome, but we did manage to fill it with something! Also Paul (vespa) had a bit of a stop/ go sort of ride- possible fuel blockage but not too critical!
Here's just a few pics.(See Myk's for proper ones!)

Nicely filling the gap in Rich's accessories!
And a short Youtube vid- you'll see us in the first bit desperately trying to keep up with a guy on a pushbike, but we just couldn't match his speed and gave up!

Thanx, see you next time.
