I was having a funny conversation with my friend the other day about all the odd places we had slept wile going to and on scooter runs. From phone boxes to multi rise car parks just to name a few. But his topped mine when they had slept in a closed wind of an hospital. Can anyone beat that.
Taxi driver knocked me off my white GP on this rally on the prom...7 stiches where my key hit my shin when I somersalted over his bonnet...Front links were bent so the wheel was nearly touching the fork...I drove it back to Notts over Snake Pass at an 80 degree angle to keep it upright...When I got home my mate bent it back with his Dr.Marten and it was perfect again...Taxis insurance didn't pay out
Best years of our lives we made history wonderful people our passion for scooters and music coming together on mass I salute you all like minded people gone but not forgotten

Kids these days will have nothing to look back on when they’re old!!! We made memories did fecking stupid stuff and had a party . What are they going to talk about in the care home Pokémon ??? At 60 year old I’m ready to get rid of my scooters but I’ll never forget the cracking times I’ve had on rally’s and with general scooter stuff

My first rally there was 1983" then again in 1984"(Edwin Starr Live) Outstanding, then went again in 85 and 86, sadly that was it for me until i went to look back on our scootering youth in 2011, .
It was Easter weekend and amazing weather, ended up in a b&b full of skins and punks, the owner even got a guy out of bed so we could have his room but what a great weekend and great years :)

Weymouth 83. I remember being in a pub and snogging student nurses for charity donations, "What do I get for a fiver?", trying to sleep under a tarp on that council car park and getting covered in kebab, and having two punctures on the way home. Another great Bank Holiday on the run.
Only missing 41...and a few copies of Northern Mod Scene....(got some spares of Scootermania and NMS.)There was a copy mag called Scootermanic which ran for a few issues too..
