Isle Of Wight August Bank Holiday 2005
National Scooter Rally
While everyone else was at Scunny, Scooter Stu set off for the Isle. Journey down took 10 hours on the A roads as he was running in a new barrel and piston for the first 200 miles. Number at the rally were slightly down on last year but the Isle still buzzed with about 8000 scooters. Most of the best bikes in the UK were there plus scoots from Italy, France and Germany. Tons of dos every night though some of the prices were shocking, £8-12 entry in some cases, patches at £2, stickers at £2.
