excelent stuff.... just got the cogs moving in my head.....would kinda spoil the feel of the parade if they were all wearing the Stig style bandit helmets hahahahaha. (which most certainly are not road legal in the UK) one of the many thoughts i had.... another was were the roads closed at points by that i mean the lovely footage of the M18 going through the twisty bends with the Shermans following, they sure filled the road up a treat. at the narrow stages were you boys having to go up ahead until the big metal had passed ? its all interesting stuff, i wish i had been a part of it.

to rest the quakies...ie AJ and his nervous twitch..... 90% of officers would not stop an outrider in the middle of a convoy tanks or a parade to be fair.... regardless of legality..... however if you were riding the bike with jeans T shirt some swanky shades wearing a storm troopers lid or similar... popping wheelies perhaps a different matter

I hope they decide to run this event again, i believe they wanted more tracked units with plenty of escort riders. Imagine a column of carriers amidst the big boys...... i have a pal that is an ex police rider of 18 years so if we were ever short of escort riders i have no doubt he would oblige hehehehe.
