Boomerang Brown In the beginning... PART ONE

If I was asked to name the archetypal Scooterboy (or is it Scooter Boy?) Gareth Brown’s name would be at the top of the list. The first truly active grass roots lifestyle scooterist to write for Scootering, he started his involvement with the magazine way back in issue two of said tome, May 1985 to be exact. His first article was a warts-’n’-all rally report about the NRC’s (National Runs Committee as it was then known) Scooter Run to Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, over the Whitsun weekend 1985. In the following years he became a regular contributor and eventually editor, a post he held between 1987 and 1989. Since then his career has taken him far and wide, encompassing much more than scooters and scootering, but that’s a world he still knows and loves with a passion.

So with something of a scootering pedigree of note behind him we thought it was about time we caught up with Gareth. We’ve interviewed him in the past but now the old git’s retired we thought he may be prepared to share a few more memories.

Without further ado, I give you Boomerang Brown
