Came down from Carlisle for this on an old Vespa Rally Electronic 200 I had back then. Happy days indeed.

At 2:03 minutes this video shows a group parked up in Station Road opposite the Central Hotel, where as a youth, I worked behind the bar during this very rally. Never worked so hard in my life. Standing room only, the place filled to the brim with wall-to-wall scooter riders. Must have been ten deep at the bar. I think everyone who worked at that place was working, whether it was their shift or not, just to keep up with demand. Plastic pint glasses, of course (I remember the manager, Alan doing a mercy dash to the cash & carry to buy a truckload of them the day before the event). I was bloody knackered at the end of the weekend!

I remember this. I was just a kid, (15) and it was like the biggest thing to happen in Colwyn Bay since Dinosaur World opened in Eirias Park. Sad really how this dominated the conversation of a thousand Colwyn Bay schoolkids for a whole year after it happened, lol. Remember when The Warriors was shown TV and after that everywhere you went there were Warrior signs spray painted all over the place... Now I'm wibbling, aren't I?
