This time last Friday I was just getting into the swing of things at the Big 7 Scooter Rally at Paddock Wood near Maidstone. Great weekend camping, drinking and generally acting way short of my real age. Anyway, it's a rally I would thoroughly recommend next year. Very well organised and great venue. Hi there, following the great advice on how to post a photo on here I have given it a go. I don't think it is showing, Grade A number 1 idiot still can't do it :-(

Yeah the weather definitely brought them out. Organisers reckoned only about a quarter of the scooters there went on the ride-out so that gives you an idea of numbers. And to be honest £20 for the weekend including camping, live bands, dj's and silent disco is a bargain in my book.

Almost an accident at about 2.30, but that seemed to be one long Vespa chop at about 3.00. Have you got any pictures of that? www.scooterlab.uk/bsra-big-7-scooter-rally-rallery/Try this, about halfway down the page their is a gallery, there are some pics of the chop on there.

The incident at 2:20 was somebody stopping to make silly faces at someones camera, forgetting there were dozens of scooters coming along behind him. I don't think I have any more photos of the chop but I am told by Big 7 that photos will be on their website soon, once done I will post a link on here.

I am from Maidstone, Kent. Should've put that in the original post. My apologies, too many 2 stroke fumes ;-)

Hi, it's taken a while but eventually my missus has bought me a scooter (2001 PX125) for my 50th birthday. She has no interest in the scooter/mod/ska/ etc etc etc scene but I have been around it all my life yet this is my first scooter. She needs a bit of tlc (the scoot not the wife) but I knew the guy we got it from and it's in pretty good condition, just the usual scuffs n scrapes. Anyway, I have been looking around the forum and have gleaned loads of info already so many thanks. I'm off now to see if I can get some answers to what might be very obvious questions.
Thanks again Kipper
