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 looking scooters like Lambretta or Vespa scooters and is now the most active scooter club in the bay

Torbay Mods SC donate £250 to Macmillan Cancer Support        

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. Welcome aboard Dick who recently bought a Vespa PX125 from Plymouth. Dick got back in the saddle after a gap of 36 years when he picked it up and rode it all the way back to Torbay! Thanks for visiting our website and we hope you enjoy it          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

We meet again - next Wednesday at 7.30pm at Torquay Railway Station

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.

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 !!!

ISLE OF WIGHT SCOOTER RALLY 2009

Five of Torbay Mods Scooter Club attended this years Isle of Wight Rally which took place at Ryde on the East coast of the island. There seemed to be more scooters than ever and even more spectators than last year lining the route along the way.  As you can see from the photos parking was made a lot easier with the absence of live music which took place on the sea front green last year. Once again the weather was kind to us all with no rain but not much sunshine neither. See pictures

See Isle of Wight County Press website for their report

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 March2009. 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!!!

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!
