SCOOTERS LINE UP FOR WORLD RECORD

By Richard Wright - Tuesday, August 28, 2007

The scooters started their record-breaking parade on Ryde Esplanade. Picture by LAURA HOLME.

FIVE thousand scooterists descended on Ryde for the biggest UK rally of their year.
The “must attend” bank holiday date in the scooterists calendar drew enthusiasts from all over the country and abroad and smashed the Guinness world record for the biggest uninterrupted parade of machines.
Mau Spencer, editor of Classic Scooterist Scene, rode a classic 1956 Lambretta Model D at the head of the parade which wended its way from Ryde’s Planet Ice arena on the Esplanade to Sandown, via Brading Road, Ashey and the downs.
The previous record stood at 449 machines, but organisers said more than 1,100 were in a continuous line on Sunday.
Tori Joy, of the scooterists’ organisation VFM, which brought the rally back to Ryde, said: “In all there were 1,600 scooters in the parade but the rules state that the line has to be unbroken and a car did break the chain.”
Two thousand people camped at Smallbrook Stadium and the rest were spread between other campsites, guest houses and hotels, with Ryde at the centre of the event, where traders reported bumper business and many pubs put on entertainment.
