M25 Ring of red (remembrance Sunday 2014)
#1
http://www.ringofred.com/the-event


I know a couple of Fazers took part last year, but I'm thinking for this year lets try and get a load of us together, hey, we might even get chance to fit in a breakfast or 6!


If we can get 10 ish Fazers for a day out we must be able to get at least 20 for this, what d'ya all say?

Whilst I don't particularly want to put down the sentiment and thought behind this endeavour I think that last years fell flat. I think there were pockets of groups but nothing like a ring of red, it was even muted that sky news were going to film it from the copter but there is no way that they could of got the whole ring in let alone getting enough riders to form a ring to be seen from above.
I think its just too ambitious.
I think last years raised £2.500
And they are trying to do one around the M60 too - so that will be even less people around the m25
I thought why don't they do it at a race track like silverstone which is right in the centre of the country, £10 entry or whatever and a good red ring would could then be seen from a helicopter and then even sell aerial photos of the ring to all the bikers. Get printed up proper red teeshirts to sell.
They could sell fast food pichtes to make even more money and would raise far more than last year.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

Smile It was the first year last year, there was a huge turnout at Clackets and the weather came good after a damp start, so this year can only be better.

So, where do you think would be a good meeting point?  I'm coming from Kent, not sure if Dazza, Grandma and Midden fancy this.....
