Many thanks to all of the organisers and volunteers,
This was my very first bay ride- and where work permits- it will be the first of many more to come.

Thank you so much to everyone who joined the ride today...what a great turnout yet again with 88 vespas plus about 6 pillions..amazing. A huge thank you once again to Ira, Stefan, friends and neighbours for hosting morning tea for everyone, thank you to Tufan and Pam for selling the commemorative badges and everyone who assisted with corner marking to make the ride go smoothly. The sun came out and we hope you all had an enjoyable day. We raised $1000 for our charity in Cambodia which will go a long way in such a poor country. We also know our dear friend Phil would have been smiling on us and I am sure he had something to do with the sun shining on us all. Thank you all so much once again.
Cheers Julie

Hi Daren
The event is open to all riders and all scooters.
See you there
Hi everyone, my name is Darren and I've been lurking for sometime. I ride other bikes but currently don't have a Vespa (searching). However, my daughter who is planning to become and active member but has to work on Sunday, has kindly let her old man borrow her ride. I hope it's OK for me to join you and come along and find out more about the club. I'm in Bayside so was planning to meet you at Chelsea.
