Spent a week in Greece, riding and enjoying the sun, sea and scooters. Ohhhhh and lots of beer!

How did you get on with those alternative fuels they use. Some prats even try and run on Diesel.

That beach looks a lot more tempting to lie down on than croft race circuit Craig. Looks quality out there but I would say the weathers far to nice for a rally :lol:

Yeah I heard about your lazing around on your back on the track :D

Gotta say it was a little hot inside the helmet and gloves, not to mention my under crackers!

It really was Tim...... I'm loving riding on foreign soil. The hospitality and generosity, not to mention faultless organisation and backup of the lambretta club Hellas was nothing short of fantastic!

We drove a van with four Lambrettas in. Stopping off at Strasbourg..... Then made a trip to visit Vittorio and collect some stuff for Dean in Milan, before continuing onto Rimini where we stayed the night. Next morning down to Anchona with the Rimini crew to catch a 24 hour ferry to Patras in Greece! ( I got incredibly pissed on the ferry! Bad idea)

Fantastic full week in the Peloponnese and along up the coast to Igumenitsa ( not far from the Albanian border) then a ferry back to Anchona before a 20 hour van drive back to the UK where I had to be at my nephews 18th birthday!

Gotta say it has been one of the best times I've ever had!

I agree Craig, there really is something appealing about riding on foreign soil!

Not able to make this years Euro but next years in Germany is on the cards :)

I am impressed Craig. Great idea for a holiday. I once drove to Italy on a holiday with the missus and we stayed overnight in Strasbourg and then onto Florence via Mnt Blanc. Driving in Italy is interesting, I likened it to being in Rollerball!

Hi Harry.... I didn't want to rub it in too much mate! :lol:

Paul has sent me some pics. Some of them will feature in a Scootering article mate so I can't post many of them just yet. As soon as I have his permission I'll post more!

What a fantastic trip... Great to meet you!

It was great to meet you lot as well and the week was the best thing that I've done on 2 wheels personally speaking. look forward to seeing the other

pictures so give me a nod when you have posted things up.

doing Cadwell Park in September if your around but failing that will catch up on an LCGB rally or something else.Give my regards to Lee, Paul, Darren and the

rest of the lads when you see them as well.

regards H

What sort of van did you use to get the 4 scoots in and did the drivers get in the van as well ?

Looking at doing something similar to Spain but it's a bit of a logistical nightmare (living up North doesn't help !!)

I used a VW crafter, and three of us in the van, but it was a bit cramped.
