13th Ottawa CURD Vintage Scooter Rally

Apparently, the Ottawa Curd Vintage Scooter Rally is not to be missed… CURD? Yep. You Heard. CURD. So I thought, what’s that all about, must be an acronym for something. Canadian Urban Riders Day or something. Nope. It stands for CURD.  The squeaky cheese stuff. Now I’m partial to a spot of cheese myself… and Curd is the key ingredient in Poutine …a French Canadian dish made from french fries, gravy and cheese curd. Sounds like perfect rally fodder.rafflebike

There will be Poutine a plenty, drinks, camping, games, friendship and some great group rides.

Check out these pics from last years event.img_0811 wpid-wp-1376137860357 curd_0112 curd_0122 wpid-wp-1376141270951 wpid-imag0032 img_0849 curd_0109 img_0839 img_0836 img_0858 img_0844

One of the movers and shakers, and key sponsors of the CURD Rally is Corey Fraser, one of my readers who puts me right when my limited knowledge lets me down. He’s owned and ridden Lambrettas (and those other scooters …the ones starting with V) for over 25 years, and runs Scooter Fix, providing a full restoration and repair service out of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Here’s their Facebook page. Corey is also rebuilding the raffle prize… a 1964 LI150.

Here’s the CURD Rally website, and Facebook page.
Registration is open now.

Oh, and if you go… send me some pics and a report… I’ll stick it on the blog!

Lambretta Club of Scotland – Celtic Dash 2014

Lambretta Club Scotland Celtic Dash Flyer

Entries are closing soon (June 2nd) for the Celtic Dash, The Lambretta Club of Scotland’s 137 mile scoot across Scotland, from Oban to Melrose. If you’re interested in joining them, you’d better be quick. For full event programme, and to register, click here.

Quick note to English Lambrettista… if the SNP get their way over Independence, this might be your last chance to do this run without a passport 🙂

Personally, being a PTFC fan, I’d rather the event was renamed to the “Thistle Run”. But that’s a rather weak football joke, so if you don’t get it, don’t worry.

A little digging led me to discover this great video on YouTube…

…and a fantastic article on the ever excellent Team S Equipe blog, here.
