Any funny stories: Midge drove me home in the sidecar coming back from Preston Wild Cats SC meeting at The Sun Hotel, where we first met, aw! We stopped at the chippy on the way home for fish ‘n’ chips, oh dear, I was sick in my helmet, a beer too many, luckily, I just missed the chips.
Favourite rally: Isle of Wight, just full of scooters and the atmosphere is immense. The best bit is when Midge takes me on the ride of my life travelling round the roundabout posing then at full speed cranking the scooter over up the hill and returning to do it all again, what a blast.
Funniest experience involving scooters: Watching a Chorley Scorpion being pushed down the hill trying to get his scooter started, probably because it was a Vespa T5, ha ha!
