WSM Rally - Saturday 1st August

Postby Jim » Sat Aug 01, 2009 6:11 pm

Nine of us met up at Fowlers (some a bit later than others!) for our ride to the WSM rally. The skies looked a bit dark, and as soon as we started up the scoots to go, it started chucking it down. (doh!) And although a bit soggy, it was a good ride to WSM, where we met up with Gerry.

Fair play to all the guys that turned up (you crazy fools!) and hard luck to all the others who thought better of it and decided not to go. (The sensible ones!) Still, it put to rest the idea that The Bristol Mods don't go out when it's wet! (Well, not if we can help it!)

Here's a few pics and a short Youtube vid.

We also went to The Lambretta Museum, to look at the chair that Malcolm sits on.

And we also checked out Scootopia, where we were quite well behaved and didn't toot our horns in case we offended anybody!

Sorry didnt make it till later guys, felt like Billy No Mates when I got to the Rugby Club but at least the SX got an airing and hopefully it will soon be run in. Went shopping for a Mod Version of Wet weather gear and bought this....it will last me into old age !
