A couple of great shots taken at last weekend's Isle of Wight rally by David Hardy, the creative force behind Team S Equipe & ETR (Enjoy the Ride) blog

I'm not really a fan of 'Mod look' scooters teetering under the weight of numerous lights & mirrors; for me these spoil the clean lines of Vespas & Lambrettas. I know David is of a similar opinion which you can see by the choice of scooters he photographed. However, without wanting to appear too 'sniffy'; for those of you who do like those types of scooters check out the links below...

Gone camping...

Apologies for lack of recent posts & activity on blog of late; I spent the last two weeks camping in lovely Lyme Regis, Dorset.

Normal service now resumed - hope you all didn't miss me too much!

This excellent shot was taken by Miles Davis on a Toyocaflex 120 Shanghai GP3 at the 2010 Beetsugar rally.

I also wanted to use this great period '60s shot for this post - see here
