Isle of Wight Scooter Rally 2012

[Revels]

Every August Bank Holiday for the last 30 years this scooters invade. About 5,000 apparently. It means it's impossible to do above 30MPH anywhere as they ride in big groups and you can't over-take. But some of them look pretty good.

Needs The Who .. not whatever that was playing !

 

[Revels]

Lol. Then mute it and play The Who.

 

[Toby]

Here's my old mans.

He isn't going here but goes all over the country on it. Crazy middle aged b*****d.

Nice work Dan.

Some of the shots are a little long for me, but I love Vespa's so I really don't care, lol.

Needs better music though! Itchycoo Park would've worked perfectly

We used to always go on holiday to the IoW for a week over bank holiday weekend, and remember seeing all the scooters!
Quite a sight when they do the bit where they all do a circuit of the island!

Yeah, I think there's a fine line with the shots. Last time I did one it was over way too fast (story of my life) and then this time I think I've gone too far the other way.

I think they're pretty cool and for at least 9 minutes I wanted one.

We can talk geeky camera stuff Saturday while everyone else gets their hands dirty <3

Might even make a video, if I can be bothered.

 

[Revels]

I've threatened to make a video. Depends.

I'll bring my DIY slider.

 

[Hixle]

Sounds kinky.

 

[Revels]

Oh it will be.

We need to teach Rob.

That's the f*cking Kinks!

You philistine!

 

[Hixle]

That's the f*cking Kinks!

You philistine!

If I'm honest, I didn't even listen to it with sound on. At work init.

I just expected he'd put it with Britney, or something. <3

 

[Eddie.]

Never knew scooters had such a big following in France.

Decent video.. thank god you can't hear the noise of them. I can't even begin to imagine how annoying they sound.

 

[Christopher]

Cracking vid by the way.

 

[Revels]

Thanks.

I only did it to just practice some more. It was very cramped and a lot of people so not much chance to move around or take extra gear with me.

I vaguely recognised it, but meh.

Face/bovvered ?
