Sorry.... dont get it! Why cant people grieve in their own way. I was based at Lyneham for some years and a 2000 bike ride will do nothing but piss everyone off by snarling up the roads. If you want to show respect go to a memorial parade or donate to Help for Heros.
Just my opinion though.
I see myself as a sensitive intelligent man but with the heart of a clown that causes me to **ck things up right at that crucial moment........'Jim Morrison'
Sorry guys, Yes I have informed PLOD and the event is registered at H4H and it is a way of paying our respect, it's not always about putting your hand in your pocket, anybody can do that no matter how little I know it counts but sometimes it's the effort that counts and I for one can donate at anytime in my life.
So, if you don't want to attend, thats fine. No problem.
Sorry if my comment sounded sh*tty. It was not meant to, it just my opinion and what you feel is right to do is fine by me.

jim i can see both points, i was based at raf finningley for 16 years!......lost a few good friends over there ..but i also think the ride is a good idea, as pointed out money isnt everything, a good show of british public moral support is worth more than millions imho
maybe also a point to see who's up for ride to the wall 2010!!
I still wouldnt go on one though. I'm not being negative, just have my own way of showing respect for the folk out there.
I was just about to post something similar, I have cancelled my event so as not to conflict with this one, if you are going though, don't forget to register here http://www.afghanheroes.org.uk/bikersevent.asp or you won't get access to the base, thanks
Good luck getting through Lyneham village I will phone the guard Commander to let him know there will be a few visitors
