2005 saw the formation of Team Razor and it’s first expedition to the promised land of cars, beer and fun! The Team contained five (on the cusp of graduating) students with a mighty Landrover 110 for transport! Tickets were sourced late leaving Beausejour as the camp site of choice. Information was gained that this left large distances to travel to and bicycles were advised.
5 men, 5 bicycles, a tent and beer do not easily fit into a Landrover.
The bikes had to go!
A feasibility study was then commissioned into acquiring suitable transport.
Light enough to carry?
Fit within the constraints of the Landrover?
Easy to operate when under the influence of intoxicating liquids?
Legal?
Cheap?
Faster than walking?
All manner of options were examined and re-examined before the solution, the Holy Grail, was found!
Micro-Scooters! Usually seen on the walk to school in expert control of the under 10’s, this was the perfect solution. A deal was quickly negotiated and 5 were purchased from a well known high street store. The model in question? The Razor!
With everything packed and spirits high the Team set off for Le Mans via Portsmouth and St. Malo.
Months later, video footage shot by a documentary crew was found. The resultant film contains evidence of the cross fertilisation of beer, Le Mans and micro-scooters.
This video is that story!
