I know I could be opening up a political discussion but please keep those comments off this thread!

ULEZ is going to be a problem for some then, which is a shame.

yes & no lol...
1 they could black out number plates or if they want to stay legal hope they don't get caught whilst riding in a large group
2. I agree that bikes may incur the £12 charge but I am sure that if they are that passionate about the cause then they will pay it. (what my club has said is that if any club member incurs the charge the club will pay for it!)

Both my bikes don't comply and I begrudge Khan getting a single penny from this worthy show of support, so will have to give this a miss.
Ride safe Robbie.

Unfortunately I had a change of plans but I know quite a few that rode. In fact in the bottom picture the bike in foreground is someone from the AAV I know! lol

Paid the ULEZ, took the thou, complete with Givi side cases and topbox (so her indoors could relax a little). Didn't miss a beat, didn't overheat, didn't burn/lose any oil (but I saw plenty of newer machinery that did  :eek ) and the clutch was still working when I overtook a blue thou (obviously, mines in the faster red colour  :lol ) on the M40 on the way home.
An awesome day out - very emotional for all involved I think.
