Eugene circa 1979


Eugene wanted someone to post an old picture of him with his GP 150 in 1979, so just for you here is a trip down memory lane.
Nice range of accessories.
Actually that's just given me an idea of a separate tag on the sidebar for nostalgia pics!!
The Link is now done on the right hand side, if anyone else want to send me some old scooter pics, I'll try to load them up.

"Tap" rideout

12 noon was the appointed hour to be at Clubbies .When I arrived fifteen minutes later there were already eight scooters ready to go .The weather was superb,no wind and bright sun ,but Freezing cold !!Luckily the Tap is only about ten miles from Clubbies ,but it was far enough with the temp not rising above zero all day . I counted 50 scooters outside the pub,a very good turnout .Liverpool s.c., Cloud 9, N.Aces,were amongst the clubs . Liverpool s.c. have made this an annual ride for at least the last three years,a great idea on a day with reasonable weather . Thanks to Simo for phoning us and to Dean for putting a message on the guest book .Darren and Pete(supertune),Paul(Elvis),Tomo,Gary,Perry,George and son,Flynny all braved the cold to do the run ,good on yer lads !

Countess Christmas Present Run 2008


Just loading up the photos from today's run, nice to see a few faces that I haven't seen for a while, including Adam released from baby duties for the day, Darren with a fresh saudi suntan and Karl Ceplis riding a scooter instead of showing one. Well done to all who turned out and I'm sure The Countess Children's ward were very grateful for all the presents donated by the scooterists.

Sorry some of the images seem a little out of focus, it's those darn scooters they just move so fast !!

Hi,

If anyone was having trouble posting comments it was probably because you needed a google account. This was not something we wanted and originally we allowed anonymous comments to be made, however after a few unpleasant comments we made the change to requiring registration. 

As we want maximum participation in the site and having to register just to comment is a pain, unregistered comments are once again allowed.  We will see how it goes.

If you are unsure how to comment or want to add content to the site look at the help article entitled "Help on posting and commenting" on the right hand side of this page.
