My First Ever Scooter Rally - Whitby 2022

Here's a video detailing my first ever experience of a Scooter Rally. It was the VFM Easter weekend rally at Whitby, England, UK. I hope you enjoy it. Apologies for the wind noise which i've tried to keep to the minimum.

    Hiya mate. As a motorbikerist of nearly 50 years who has camped and toured all over the UK and Europe, I had to smile that you had the most important piece of gear, apart from your tent, that is your sleeping bag just fastend on your front rack without any protection. Just a tip, wrap it in a bin bag next time, and also practise putting your tent up in the garden, just so it doesn't take over half an hour to erect, you were seriously wasting beer/chippy time. 🤣. Just one more thing, take a look at 'dry bags' for stashing your gear on the scoot. Oh yeah, a really entertaining vlog. 👍🏍.

    Thank you Keith I appreciate the tips. My mate dave told me similar, he's a rally veteran too 🤣 the sleeping bag was In its storage bag so it did have at least a little protection , although we were very lucky with the weather. Thank you for the feedback mate, that's what this channel is all about👍🏻🛵😁

    My idea of camping is anyplace you can’t get room service. Guess my tastes outrun my wallet. Never really owned a scooter, but always liked them. Motorcycles are more usable in a country like Australia with the distances we have. And I’ve had plenty of motorcycles. When I was young we spent some great times riding an old Vespa 150 around the orchards at my cousins place. In the ‘80’s we used to knock off work Easter Friday night and ride 900 km to Bathurst NSW for the Mt Panorama bike races, on my Ducati 900. Even saw Mike Hailwood ride there on a Yamaha TZ 700. Became 5th but it was all just a practice run for his return to IoM on the Ducati.

    I've watched several of your videos and really enjoyed them. My children have grown up which gives me more time to indulge in my interests. I have a Vespa px125 and i meant to take it over from Dublin to visit a friend in Lichfield earlier this month ( about 150 miles ). My mechanic advised me that it wouldn't make it though as it's burning oil which means the engine seals have been compromised. I'm seriously considering buying an RA - probably a 300 and doing it next year. You've inspired me!

Loved the rallies In them days and ruffin it in fields or street sleeping. I was the drummer in a Hull mod band in the very early 80s called The Cynics. How things have changed. I do like the Royal Alloys, very lambretta... But to be honest hate the new look Vespa and lambrettas. I'm a traditional bloke. Again, great vlog and you have me remembering to the old time.

    @@andrewsmith1390 Ah Andrew, you’re a Scholar ! Thank you, I will add that to my ‘Pub Trivia Night’ knowledge, which is poor I admit. If you have any interest in Cook, Some years back I got hold of a book on Captain James Cook. If memory serves, it was two or three volumes by an Australian..if you’re interested at all I’ll find the name of it. This thing was incredible in its detail, a definitive account of the voyage. It made you feel like you were on the voyage with him and told how he got the command, how he then had the Endeavour ‘double bottomed’ and basically every rivet in the ship. I learned why Oscar Wilde has to unpick rope in his prison cell for two years, and so much more. The reason for my interest was I’d just done a sailing trip of my own. We (three of us) sailed up the Queensland coast’s inner reef and oddly enough followed much of Cooks journey up there. I was writing a book of my own adventure and was interested in the overlap. We sailed a 15m yacht from Bundaberg QLD to Greece, via Cape York Peninsula (top end Qld) Darwin, Indian Ocean to Christmas Island, Cocos Islands, Seychelles, up the East Coast of Africa and into The Red Sea. Stopped at Aden in Yemen, then Sudan, Egypt and Greece. There was a great tale in The Cook book (sorry) about one of the strangest incidents in Naval History.. Just where e sailed down the Burnett River to turn left (North) into The Pacific, almost 200 years before, The Endeavour had been almost exactly there. One morning one of the ratings awoke to discover both his ears missing (I’ve been that pissed). A full investigation was held, and one man was suspected of doing the deed, but it couldn’t be proved. Consequently no punishment could be given, but I gather the man suspected got a good talking to. Hope you weren’t bored to death by that Andrew. But it was a great adventure. By the way, I’ve been in Cooks Cottage in Melbourne, they brought it here brick by brick from Great Ayton, North Yorkshire. Apparently it was his fathers old house. Didn’t see an old Triumph or Norton in the shed though. Cheers, Col

I rode with the Lyons way back in the late Sixties early seventies but then came a family so had to give it up. I had a Lambretta GP 200, which I then gave up for a 75cc Lambretta Vega which I used to race with. Had lots of fun with my Scooter drove it to Southend twice to a massive Scooter rally there( not a mod) won quite a few events throughout the country, the big one for me, although I don't think they do it anymore was twisty sprinting. I also went to the isle of man Scooter week twice, great times. Nice to hear from you, I guess from your you tube video's that you live around Furness vale ( not trying to pry). I still live in Cheadle Heath. Keep up with the Videos, I really enjoy them.

    Scooter rallies now full of scomadi, gts & royal alloys, covered in targets, Union Jack's & ska stickers. Riders in standard parka or bomber jacket (with badges), target helmets, not actually having a clue about scooters. Blaming dodgy wrists for buying plastic.
