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.

As a young rider in a scene with lots of older riders, google 'young guns scooter club' who are mainly for under 25s across the country - that should be a good place to hang out online then meet some younger riders on ride outs. If you're a young mod and can get into London fairly often, try new untouchables for events and ride outs http://www.newuntouchables.com/home/

I'm going to be in St Albans tomorrow and for a week after.
Could meet ya downtown for a coffee bout any morning. I'm don't have a scooter here but the key is right here next to my heart. If meeting up with old and fat doesn't bother ya, then pm and I'll make the effort.
