Setting the scene - 1991

This story starts in 1991. Although I now live in Australia, I am originally from New Zealand (but I am alright now). I made my way to the UK and had the big "Overseas Scooter Experience". For those that aren't aware, the scooter scene in the UK is huge, below is a picture from my first rally, 3000 scooters and about 5000 people...


National Scooter Run - Margate


I did a complete rally season, touring all over the UK and having lots of fun as part of the W.C.D.O.A.N.S.C. (We Can't Decide On A Name Scooter Club).

W.C.D.O.A.N.S.C. was a fantastic club and they are still my close friends till this day. In fact in 1991 Niall was the one that organised buying a scooter for me because I was working 80 hours a week! Later in 2005, Niall (retrospectivescooters) did the same again for my honeymoon tour because I was in Australia.


Niall - (Now Retrospective Scooters)


Although my UK/Irish friends and embarassing photos are many, another name worth mentioning is BA. BA was up for some scootering touring to, so we set off on this adventure together.
