Iggy …the lad I fought thought he could out do a ahem young ahem ..33 year old . After a couple of jabs and pushing .. he was out of the ring ..a young 20 something wannabe ….if you check the write up in stuart lannings magazine at the time .. not going to mention its name … take a look.and you will see me standing in a group outside the “racers return” … just after the rain gave way … I’m willing to throw down the gauntlet if ever the opportunity of a sumo suit kafuffull is on a rally camp site
The best rallies on my opion was the 90s when there wasn’t everyone in to make money and you travelled up and down the country to meet up with your rally friends, unfortunately that was the de ade I met col and it’s been down hill from then, 🙂
Thats a great write up & some cracking photos…. was shocked to see me & Jackos scoots parked up together ..pleased to say we are still together (32 years this year) we actually got married on one of the scoots 28 years ago…. and the scoots are still here with us in the family although they look abit different now! (we dont still have the same tent haha) cheers Boggy
IoW early 90s we used to go to CCI rallies, run by legend Tony Class (RIP).
I wouldn’t consider them “pirate”… Just our thing…and a good time was always had.
They weren’t always August either…
Great write up

I might have ‘fought’ you in a sumo suit at Avon Park!

It’s a date.
Wicked article Col – and a pic of my old chop that I’ve never seen before.

Great write up Col. I started out in 95’ and most of these scoots were still about then.
Hopefully see you in Alfreton at the weekend ✌
