Title: Biggest Bike Ride
Post by: Ebme Geek on 23 September 2014, 04:57:26 pm

Well, new experience for me, the largest one I have been on was last weekend, the anual Oakley Waterman Charity Ride.
470 bikes clicked in for the start and others joined around the lap of the island, impressive turn out for an island thats only 24.5 Sq.miles and 7 miles long.
Wiered feeling knowing there is a police escort at the front, yet getting a fair pace on at times, legal speading ?  :lol  ?
Police and marshal bikers at junctions, so we could all stream through - - Brilliant  :D
The picture shows my son on his FZ6 and me behind him on the box-eye.
 
Could not find any U-tube clips of this year, sure they will appear, but here is one of last years
