August Bank Holiday 2025

Hello All How is your Bank Holiday going!

It’s not, ours isn’t until near the end of the month…

Something to look forward to though! :slightly_smiling_face:
Some years back now I took my son for a long weekend on The Isle of Wight to take in the annual August Bank Holiday scooter fest/rideout.
Great fun, there was a real buzz on the island. I lost the pictures I took on an old phone, here’s one I scavenged online…

I went there years ago, absolutely loved it! Wouldn’t have thought it was my thing but the whole atmosphere and the people coming together is just intoxicating isn’t it?

Absolutely!
I have great affection for The Isle of Wight in the first place.
Many happy memories of family holidays as a kid.
As you say the atmosphere was intoxicating, especially in Ryde. I don’t think I’ve seen as many oxblood Dr Martens and Alpha flight jackets in one place before!

Might even have to think about popping over The Solent for a day this coming Bank Holiday :+1:
