20 Oct, Wembley Stadium for a mass ride-out to 10 Downing Street (or embankment as nearest point) as a show of objection to the UK Governments stance towards Road Pricing plans, Speed Limiters for Bikes and Congestion charging. A small fee of £5 to cover event organisation is payable. Go to www.riderconnect.com for details. See you there? Martin
What a day! A few thousand bikers riding thro' Central London from Wembley Stadium in support of Riders Rights. A well organised affair by Simon and his cohorts from RiderConnect. The streets were lined with awe-struck onlookers as the Met Police escorted those who attended to Parliament Square for a massed rally and speeches from a couple of Governmeent Ministers. Weather was brilliant and all were well behaved. A couple of 'burn-out' attempts en-route but no other antics to give us bikers a bad name. Lets hope those in authority listen to the ground-swell opinion. As a GTR1400 owner, I only saw one other.

I wish you UK'ers the best of luck in fughting off your oppresors. It seems Britian, once the cradle of freedom, has taken a most alarming stance regarding it's survelliance of UK citizens and intrusion into their lives..Gatos, cameras and the like. A similar situation is developing here in north america..especially the US...all under the guise of 'public safety'. If only George Orwell and Aldous Huxley were here to see it happening...
