I was unable to attend the ride out today - but saw some 50 plus bikes / riders passing through Towyn North Wales. Congratulations to all the dapper gents who took part wherever they participated. This sort of activity can only give a positive impression to all who think bikers are trouble makers. All I was able to do - due to work commitments - was to take my two loves ( misses and my bike) for a trip to Conway. Well done all..
Good point about creating a positive impression. I did the Bournemouth ride - which involved a lot of town riding with junctions, roundabouts and lights. It was encouraging to see car drivers stop, even when they had right of way, to allow 97 bikes through. A large number of bikes riding through narrow high streets like Christchurch, Highcliffe and New Milton could be intimidating to residents but when you're dressed in Tweed and on an old bike it's nice to be waved at!
Yeah, definitely gave people a different take on bikers, my wife and I did the Glasgow DGR, 1st time for Glasgow, and us, met a lot of nice people, bikers and publics alike, and we were blessed with a nice sunny day!
