Steve Jackson bought his first Scooter at the age of 17, and attended his first Scooter Rally, at Morecambe, in 1984. A nomadic lifestyle followed, including memberships of Scooter Clubs in Birmingham, London and Devon, attending National Rallies, and sleeping in leaking tents. His interests later veered towards classic cars and motorbikes, but he never really got over his first passion.
After several years of studying and working in Scotland, in 2010 he was appointed as a Library and Archives Assistant at the Manx Museum, in Douglas, providing the inspiration for this project. The acquisition of a new Vespa PX 150 soon followed!
