The VMSC show was upon us once again ,and I have to say I was really looking forward to the event, not only because we had our own stand on display, but its the one show where you are guaranteed to see new custom scooters on display, and judging by what was on display for the first outing I was not disappointed!

The show has to be one of the best organized events on the calendar, plenty of scooters and an abundance of scooter dealers, selling everything from tyres to bling, what ever you want these guys have it! And the one thing I do like at these events is that you can grab yourself a right old bargain to get you back on the road, who says competition aint nothin!

The scoots on display were some of the best ive seen for a long time, Memphis belle never disappoints, the artwork on that scooter is unbelievable, then off course there was the pair of custom lambretta scooters owned by the same chap on display one of which was on its first outing based on the movie "scum", the one scooter that was on display that was getting all the attention was the wolverhampton wanderers football themed vespa cutdown, one thing that was noticeable was the absence of the luna owners club that was proudly represented at last years event! One of my favourites at the show had to be the lambretta named "menace" a fantastic looking scooter, I'm sure this scooter will be a favourite with scooterists that like the 80`s style customs that seem to be making a come back, I could go on and on with the amount of fine scooters that were on display, not just inside the hall but outside to, one in particular a rather nice "flamed" up GP lambretta which in its own right should have been entered inside the show.

What ever your taste this event has it all, from full blown customs to choppers, cutdowns and last but not least the vintage scooters that were displayed were truly amazing, to think how old these machines are, it beggars belief that these machines were made in their thousands in the day, and to think that there are only so many examples of some of these makes left today, you have to take your hat of to the guys who find these scooters and restore them back to their former glory, the moto rumi scooter owners display was very nice to see, as was the triumph and bsa scooters, a lot of people put a lot of hard work not just into customization but restoration, as well as the guys that race scooters as a sport, the BSSO do a lot of hard work, but un fortunately this is often over looked by scooterists in general, we at ISANET will be high lighting the sport in the magazine this year, so keep an eye out for all the latest news on the BSSO, the machines and riders, they really could do with support for all their hard work and endeavors.

Well after yet another well organised and attended custom show not just in numbers of people that attended the event but also in the fine display of scooters that were on show, its a big thumbs up to all at the VMSC for another great day out, we would also like to say a big thank you to Steve at inter scooters for letting us have one of his race scooters on display at our stall at the event and everyone else who has supported us so far, we look forward to your continued help and support!

As most of us thought on saturday the weather was going to be a wash out like last week end,we loose an hours sleep and the vmsc is going to be waterproofs all round, but the good lord must be a scooterist as a fine sunny day was in order!!
As per previous midland scooters rideouts to the vmsc the presence of scooterists from birmingham to coventry was an excellent turnout,especially considering the weather the night before,as the convoy of scooters had entered the grounds where the custom show was held it was unbelievable to see just how many had actually turned up.
Like a lot of these events there are some lovely and well restored scooters which are amongst the scooters in the car park(you know who you are)so lets see them inside on future events,everyone who is proud of there pride and joy deserves a chance to show it off!!

With a great atmosphere around us it was time to move indoors to see some of the finest scooters on show,the time and money spent on some of these scooters is hard to believe as i'm sure you all seen for yourselves,yet each year another creation or masterpiece turns up!
One scooter that caught mine and my partners eye was the limousine lambretta,ive seen photos of it but never in the flesh as to speak,as they say you can do it with a car,so why not a "scooter",a credit to the creator fantastic.
On my tour around the stalls its amazing just how much choice there is if you are restoring a scooter nowadays,even the accessories and the clothing are getting more available than ever,as they say these shows are getting bigger and better every year!"

Nice to see and meet the isanet team with there own stand well done.

"So to sum it up a great display of scooters and parts fair,until the next vmsc a big thanks and well done to all who are involved and organise these events"
