Welcome to our website and thank you for visiting us. 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. Welcome aboard 3 new members Carl, Mat, and Will. Carl has recently bought a second hand PX150, Mat has recently bought a brand new shiny blue PX125 while Will has restored his bargain buy PX125. Pictures of their scooters can now be seen on this website!   

TURN THE VOLUME UP!!

If you're interested in joining, returning to the scene or just want to have a look at our scooters then you're very welcome to come along to one of our meetings/ride out on a Wednesday night (see below)

 

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 Torbay Mods SC as long as you own a scooter and can join us now and again for ride outs etc. Apart from Torbay, we also have members from Kingsteignton, Dawlish, Teignmouth, Totnes, and Exeter. 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.       Click here to read our riding safety tips for scooterists

We ride them we don't hide them! Recently George rode his Lambretta a total of 205 miles in one day with no breakdowns! Not bad for an old Mod too !!!
