National scooter rallies – an institution built in stone

“Nationals are vitally important as they connect scooterists across the whole of the country directly with each other and without them that real world connectivity would be gone.”

The birth of the national scooter rallies as we know them today came at the beginning of the 1980s. Their roots were established in years previous, but the rally scene we recognise and still love today, evolved during that decade. That was also the period of the highest attendances; sadly those days will probably never return. Even so, almost 40 years on the national rallies are still here and well attended.
