PICTURES OF ISLE OF WIGHT SCOOTER RALLY Report: For the second year running 7 Torbay Mods ride to and take part in what is believed to be the biggest scooter rally in the world which takes part on Isle of Wight. Most of us camp at Kite Hill near Ryde and it only rained once during Sunday morning but cleared up for the big ride out at 1pm from Ryde to the Rugby field. Thanks to all the residence on the Isle of Wight for their tolerance and hospitality as we had a great time on the island with entertainment such as the tribute band The Small Fakers who performed and looked the part spookily! Some of the songs such as Lazy Sunday Afternoon made the hair stand up on the back of my neck ... talk about back to the future!!! Another successful event for VFM to whom we are very grateful. See you next year guys! See Isle of Wight County Press website for their report

Ride out with VW caravanettes to Paignton Sea Front
Torbay Mods get up early on an unusual dry Sunday morning to meet up with the classic VW caravanettes at the Weary Ploughman Inn, Churston. It was great to see them all and a great privilege to lead many of them through Paignton town centre and down to the sea front where we parked on the green for everyone to enjoy. Organised by Dubs at the Beach it was a big success with several hundred entrants many of which had come from across the country and camped in very wet conditions in the Steam fair field, Churston. Torbay Mods were given their own patch and sign on Paignton sea front and are very grateful to Dubs at the Beach for asking us to join them. Cheers guys and we hope to meet you again next year!

MIDLANDS RALLY TO STRATFORD ON AVON
3 Torbay Mods get up early on Sunday 20th July and head for Birmingham so they can take part in the big Midlands rally! Paul, George and Stan with his sister Dot as passenger had a trouble free journey to Stratford when they meet up with over 300 other scooterists from clubs all over the Midlands in a MacDonald's car park in Birmingham. The weather was good and the tourists in Stratford were amazed when they saw the convoy of Lambrettas and Vespas arriving and parking up on the grass in the centre of town. Paul took plenty of pictures and we were grateful to Stan's family who welcomed us back in Birmingham with refreshments before we set off on the long journey home. Video coming soon!!!
