Well done Gerry - thats it.

Doing those rideouts - like London and others like the early Torquay established the way the club is now, I think. Not fogetting the Bristol meets that Steve Walsh and Mike Pick organised. Some folks, of course, earlier than that still.

Long may it continue !

i couldn't agree with you more. with lights/mirrors/the works, or naked as the day they were born, the more Scoots kept on the road the better. Nice one Gerry!

Just scanned some old photies into the PC (wot a boring job!!) some of you have seen a few of these- It's the BMSC Easter Rideout to WSM, not entirely sure of the year, but think it's 2002. At the time I was thinking of getting a scoot, so went to WSM to take some pics of you lot. When I saw the scoots coming along the seafront, with the unmistakable sound and the smell of oily 2 stroke petrol smoke, I just knew I had to get a scoot and join up! The rest is history, and will probably be referred to by my wife's solicitor when she decides to start divorce procedures!! (I'm joking, I think!)
