Registered.
Got to get he bike sorted (needs a new back tyre and a service)

AS OVER 10,000 HAVE REGISTERED THE POLICE REQUESTED THE ORGANISERS TO CLOSE REGISTRATION. Initially the organisers had planned on 1000, so some drastic re-organisation of the logistics is on-going, and people are advised to watch the website for the latest updates/news.

auNTy V

AuNTy V wasn't used during 2009, all bike activities were on the Divvy 6, hope to get auNTy in the workshop soon to prep her for 2010.

Ryans Ryde 2009

A great ride out, a well thought out route by the organisers and a HUGE Well done to West Midlands Police who actively supported Ryans Ryde charity motorcycle run, and didn’t use it as a witch hunt for minor offences such as number plates or exhausts, or even running a “stop and search” operation! It’s a pity we don’t have a national force, and national policing policies as far as two wheeled powered transport is concerned, but then again why expect anything different in a Labour Little Britain where postcode politics is bigger than ever.
My sincerest apologies to the “nice” couple in the black Jaguar X type 2.0D that somehow managed to infiltrate the convoy of over 2000? bikes and got a little upset when inevitably a bottleneck caused a snarl up and delay…. some reminders to them:
“it’s an offence to use your mobile whilst driving…..”
“good driving involves showing some courtesy to other road users”
“keep your ******* distance”
