THE MODS ARE BACK

Torbay Mods Scooter Club is based in the South Devon area of the UK and was formed by Paul, Mike and Stan in 2007 for riders of classic Lambretta or Vespa scooters and is now the most active scooter club in the bay

Torbay Mods and our scooters

 

 Welcome to our website and click here for pictures and videos or on the menu at the top of this page!   No Forums on this site! Our members decided at the outset that we don't want to risk having controversial comments left on forums such as offending messages towards us or other clubs. We're not like that! Thanks for visiting our website and we hope you enjoy it too

 Come and join us!

 

We would like to meet anyone with Mod Style or standard looking scooters who are interested in shows, ride outs and rallies. You don't have to live in Torbay to be a member of TMSC as long as you own a scooter and join us now and again for ride outs etc. We have members from Teignmouth, Newton Abbot, Totnes, Plymouth, Exmouth and even Barnstaple so come and join in the fun and show off your scooters to people who remember them as an iconic symbol of the 60's and 70s. If you see any of us on the road give us a toot or wave and you're sure to get a wave back.

 

Our club has negotiated discounts with some shops and garages within South Devon (see local links below) so by becoming a member you could save money!  MEMBERSHIP:  £10 yearly fee payable in advance for newsletter (March 2009 edition now available), membership card, free patch and sticker! If you would like to become a member or an associate member (£5 yearly fee) then contact Paul or Justin for conditions and further details
 

Winter meetings: From November 09 through to April 2010 we will be meeting at the Penn Inn, Newton Abbot every Wednesday evening 7.30 - 8pm for regular meetings. Possible ride outs afterwards if dry but if not turn up in your car/van/bus/train/plane anyway so we can chat about the club and future events. For list of Wednesday night ride outs from April onwards click here.  Also see ride outs and events page. A donation of 50p by each rider would be appreciated for our charity to help us raise money for the Dartmoor Pony Rescue Centre  £42.92 was raised in 2008 AND LAST WINTER WE RAISED £21.86 AT OUR MEETINGS which has also been sent to our charity. Thanks to everyone who donated

SIMON'S WEDDING DAY LIFT TO OLDWAY MANSION

Report: Torbay Mods took Simon and his best men on the back of our Lambrettas to his wedding at Oldway Mansion on Saturday 21st March. Simon belongs to Dubs At The Beach, a local Air-cooled Volkswagen group which we joined last year for their annual run down to Paignton sea front

 

We enjoyed the occasion very much and yes you guessed it took a few pictures outside Oldway for you all to enjoy. It was a bit of a surprise for his bride to be and they had a beautiful sunny day to enjoy the ride and the wedding!

Look out for pictures to be published in the National VW magazine and also Scootering!!!

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

DUBS AT THE BEACH

Report: 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! See pictures

MIDLANDS RALLY TO STRATFORD ON AVON

Report: 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 McDonald'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!!!
