Biggest Bike Rally in Britain......probebly
« on: January 20, 2010, 03:47:40 PM »
Wishing to avoid any political debate....
Ive just signed up for the Wootton Bassett Bike run in aid of the Afgan Heroes Appeal (and donated to this worthy cause) it takes place on the 14th March and ends with a parade through Wootton Bassett on to the runway at RAF Lyneham, i may not make it but am trying to clear everything else to do it.
This event was born out of public outrage at a certain group who have now been banned if any other UK bikers(not just Beemers) are going please let me know.

 Â 
Over 1000 have signed up already it should be  a truly special event.
it will be the longest outing for gertie ever.....500 miles round trip fingers crossed.

Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.

Every Day is a Vacation.
Every Paycheck is a Fortune.
Every Problem is an Oportunity.

Have fun.  Ride Safe.
