Rideout to Salop Scooters

Another fantastic April day forecast led to a rush to arrange a rideout at short notice and my appologies to anyone who didnt have time to check out the website in time . B.T. managed to disconnect my phone line enough for the computer not to get on the broad band from Tuesday until Friday ,hence the late posting . We met @ Clubbies and four scooters set off for the truck stop ,biker cafe at the Raven @ Prees Heath to meet up with Pete and Tina and Frank (Wxm S.C. ) .















We drew a few hard stares from some of the bikers when we parked our hair dryers amongst the assorted Harleys, Plastic Rockets and well restored old machines including a Triumph Bonneville on a " c " reg ...1965 a bad machine to see in your scooters mirrors at that time !! Still it was Petes idea to meet there and with coffee @ .50p and breakfast @ under 3 quid it was a good place to go . Six scoots left the greasers cafe and we took the scenic route via Hodnet village to Salop Scooters .
Tinas J125 Starstream is being rebuilt by this outfit ,and of what we have seen so far they are making a good job of it . There is always a friendly welcome ,even though they must need to press on with the workload . While we were there an unmarked Police car turned into the yard ,turned out the cop is a fellow scooterist ...you cant tell the cowboys from the indians these days !
We made our way back via the Durham Heiffer where Ade and Lisa treated us to sandwiches in the beer garden behind the pub ,and with Real Ale ,sunshine and superb view of the Peckforton hills it was very difficult to leave and make our way back to Chester . Thanks to all who made it such a cracking day out . I will ask Graham to post the photos .
Hope the weather is good for next Sundays rideout with the Nomads to Glan Conwy .
