Scootering

OWNER DETAILS

-

Name: Rhiannon Donnelly.

Job: Nursery nurse.

Scooter club & town: LCGB & LCW. I also help run the NWBA with Stephen, I don’t do local scooter clubs because of the politics that come with it. I like to ride my scooters with friends rather than being told who to ride with.

First interest in scooters: When I was in school. Friends who I hung around with had scooters.

First scooter: Vespa ET4, that lasted around two months, then I decided that I wanted a proper scooter.

Favourite scooter model: Vespa GS.

Favourite style of custom scooter: I like the classic look of a scooter. I appreciate the time and effort that has gone into custom scooters but they’re just not for me.

First ever rally: Rhyl, we didn’t get back to the hotel until 5.45 in the morning! As with all rallies I don’t like to leave the party early!

How did you get there: Rode. Any funny stories: One that comes to mind is at the Lambretta Club Wales rally in Aberaeron. It was really windy, we decided to set up the tents near to a hedge to try and get out of the wind a little. A friend had a pop-up tent, and as he was putting it up a gust of wind blew the tent over the hedge and into the next field. The tent then continued to roll down the field towards the sea with a herd of cows chasing it. I did go and try and help but it was so funny I was no use! Furthest you’ve ever ridden on a

scooter: In 2019 I rode to Brighton and back; 650 miles in a weekend. I like to ride my scooters as much as I can, and probably cover around 3000 miles a year. Favourite Scootering magazine

feature: I’ve got to say Stephen’s JD scooter being in Scootering. The feature looked so good and he was so proud to be on the front cover. Your most recommende­d scooter part

or related item: Variatroni­c, since fitting them to the scooters, they have been very reliable. Which breakdown company do

you recommend: RAC

What would make the scene

better: More rallies nearer to where we live in North Wales!

Favourite scooter dealer: If I ever need a part I usually go to Barry Turner of Scooter Warehouse who has always looked after me.
