Just a reminder that Scooters On The Mount is all systems go again for 2016 so no excuses you've got plenty of time to get your fast scooters prepared for the Mount. Hopefully more smallies this year to take on the lambwettas. Honestly it was fantastic last year other than the weather but hay ho.

Sounds like a great event but doubt sprinter will be finished unless I have a good win down the bingo* or sell something.
Want to do more scooter related things that don't involve fat twats in porkpie hats/fez's 'dancing' to a Ska tribute band.
* Largest win we had this year was £2750.
Stella £2.90 a pint or 4 pint pitcher for the price of 3 pints and no talking whilst game is on, so don't have to think of small talk with the mrs. What is there not to like about a night at Gala?!!

May day bank holiday weekend Gareth 1st weekend in May 2016, same date as earlier this year, another meeting late on in August 2016 too... You will be hard pushed to find a more condescending and patronising attitude towards scooters, than the guy that runs the major events at this superb circuit.....!!! |

Very true Mr.scooterist most of them weren't happy we were there but a lot changed there attitude once they realised they were upthere with bikes. One comment back to the van when finished Saturday was bloody hell mate didn't think they was that fast they were shit in the sixties. To which I replied this ay the sixties old fruit and your Nortons shit. He took it in good heart to be fair.

Won't be able to work on sprinter till after easter, but then hopefully get to give it all the time/money it needs.
Wasn't building it to go round corners so would be interesting!

It looks like it may be a big affair this year Gareth seems a fair bit of interest.

Good day had by all. Great to catch up with everyone again. Top bunch. Plague with technical problems brought about by piss poor preparation. Better next time out hopefully.
