Are you on Facebook?
Pretty sure there's plenty of scooter clubs around your area. Plenty of Skoks in London too. |

Hi Mate
I live just up the A5 from you. There is a few groups dotted about and as Pepy said, facebook is probably your best bet. I think the Herts Vespa Club meet up in Sandridge if I remember rightly. Try ICRO (inter county ride outs) who organise runs around Herts, Beds, Bucks & Northants area. Good way to get out n meet people. Unfortunately it is getting near end of season now so it will quieten down a bit after October. Personally I have found a lot of small local groups (3 in Dunstable) have been a bit clicky. But maybe they are just sussing me out as I don't look like your "normal" scooterist and ride an auto. Keep an eye out for weekend morning groups who seem to meet up mostly outside cafe's. Introduce yourself n see how you get on. Also keep an eye out on here as there is the odd ride out organised from time to time. |
