Pee'd down on the way to Corley, dry for the run (feckin' awesome) - then torrential on the way back.

Pauline's 'Storm was awesome all the way!

It was a similar story on the M56. I was really shocked by the turn out, I was expecting 10s of people. Must have been a few hundred there!

i was at the front of the pack m8, 2 up on the white storm behind the leader on a 1986 200 benly

we rode on to conwy in a massive procession - bikes as far as the eye can see.
tbh, sadly i cant see any of this doing any good at all - i think the only thing that will make a difference is after the laws are passed every biker in the uk does a mass national ride and completely gridlocks the country like the french do.
good to see so many taking up arms though

Some interesting debate on what is truth and what is spin on the EU legislation relating to UK on the Kevin Ash web site. Lots of concern that if MAG get everyone hyped up on the high vis and 7 yr old bike thing, and too many people start quoting those concerns as the reason for today demonstration, then the demo will lose credibility!
Those 2 rules are being proposed in France, and I think the high vis is also in souther ireland, but no intention to be all EU. We are being targeted for compulsory ABS, and anti tampering, which is a good enough reason to fight, we just have to make sure we don't undermine the protest by quoting reasons that don't apply to uk.

Hundreds on M1 south & north from Northampton services - think I was the only storm going south. Most exotic was a Norton rotary & a custom with the back half of a mini for passenger seating.

Sadly though the jct from north bound services to A43 was blocked by an accident, emergencies were there but leather suit and helmet lying in the road, no rider, guess they'd been cut out.
