delayed by a day and we're still the first to arrive...only Brits on the field at this moment in time...

even a cast won't keep the most dedicated scooterist from riding his scooter...

view from the bottom of the field...

doesn't matter how early you arrive the people running the gate are always one step ahead of you...

more like it...one or two of our European friends have arrived...that bbq was from the previous year in Venlo...someone left it behind so I confiscated it...

one of many sidecar's that were there...

this belonged to a Dutch guy...I think he had bought it from Roger (Dirty Mills S.C.)...

Roger's outfit amongst a sea of British registered scooters...

I think this was Kevin & Sandra's outfit!!..

Eddies my name...

oh oh...Dobbo's Lambretta has finally given up the ghost

this is the sort of tool kit you need when you're riding a Lambretta across Europe...Dobbo wearing the standard Lambretta frown!!..

Early morning wake up call...Max, Gary & Alf just returning from a nightclub...

where have all the European scooterists gone!!..believe me when I tell you by 7:00am there were mainly only Brits left...

I've always loved this scooter...I've always wanted one of those pannier sets...I still want one...

a nice German registered TV175...the registration number was TV175...
