    The annual IoW event is distinctive in a number of ways. It’s by far the largest scooter rally in the UK (and in all probability, globally). It’s also unique in attracting non-scooterists in their droves just to come to visit and to have the experience of viewing the glittering array of scooters of all types gathered on many parts of the island. The uniqueness extends to the fact that there is no longer a focal point on any one particular site across the entire swathe of the island – something not replicated in any rally anywhere else. Obviously (and importantly) there is the VFM/BSRA campsite that ably and cheaply provides vast facilities including the official campsite, dealer concessions and the fabled custom show. This is now situated on the airfield adjacent to Sandown – a venue not to be missed for the scootering faithful.
