Introduce myself Paul Soffe
Hi Lads and Girls, just a short note to introduce myself. I am from Liverpool England (yes another scouser) but have been in Australia since 1982
Growing up in Liverpool you had to follow a fashion or you were classed as a square. I followed Rockabilly as I loved the music. My brother Mike was
and is a mod. Since he was 12 he has lived and breathed scooters, so much so when he was able he opened a shop in Liverpool. He is still operating and
can be found online at http://www.msclassicscooters.co.uk
I have always been interested in scooters but have never met anyone else that was interested, until I met a guy called Paul Vella, more effectionately
called "monkey boy" who told me of a club with like minded scooter enthusiasts called ]Melbourne Crusaders Scooter Club. After meeting a few of the
members at an open barbeque and the pub I felt at home and was made very welcome. So I decided to join the club and have bought a scooter a Vespa
PX200 from my good friend Paul Vella and am now eager to go on a rally.
Look forward to meeting many more members.
See you at the pub on the 2nd June! Cheers!

Welcome aboard Paul,
There is plenty of action on the scooter scene here in Melbourne as we lead upto the Australian Classic Scooter National, which will see around 180
classic scooters from all around Australia gather in Daylesford from the 2nd to the 4th October.
In the meantime the Crusaders meet every second Wednesday at Father Flanagan's Hotel at the corner of Smith Street and Alexandra Parade in Collingwood
from 7.00pm onwards. Next meeting will be Wednesday the 2nd June.
http://www.fatherflanagan.com.au/index.htm
We also ride every third week of the month, the next ride will be to Gembrook on the 20th June. We usually start the ride from the Q Cafe, Queens
Parade, Clifton Hill, leaving at around 10.00am.
Hope to see you at a Club meet or ride out soon,
Regards
Steve "Snowy" Bardsley

Six degrees of separation
Does this rule apply to scooters? I own a scooter that used to belong to Paul Vella, anyone else?
Cheers, Mark.
