ANCSR 2025 in Mudgee – Classic Scooters, Friends, and One Very Tired Liver

The October long weekend had been circled on our calendar for months — the Australian National Classic Scooter Rally (ANCSR) in Mudgee. Every year, the rally draws a devoted mix of riders from all over the country, descending on a new town to celebrate our shared obsession with vintage scooters. This would be the first national Steve and I had decided to join in quite a few years. Mudgee, with its vineyards, country pubs, and rolling hills, and only 272 kms from Sydney, promised the perfect setting for a long weekend of riding, laughter, and maybe a few too many drinks.

Euro Lambretta France 2024

Reading Time: 11 minutes
Magny-Cours, France (June 2024)

I was so excited! A few of us from the Lambretta Club of Australia had managed to snag tickets to the Euro Lambretta event at Magny-Cours, France, from 13th-16th June 2024. These tickets are like gold dust for European clubs and having not participated at a Euro since 1993, because adulting and work commitments got in the way, I felt honoured and privileged to have the opportunity to be one of those lucky members to be going and was thrilled to be hopping on a plane all the way from Australia for some scooter shenanigans in France.
