I didn't bother this year- tbh I think it's a bit of a pointless run with the amount of old bill and speed cameras/checks.

Mine overheats every year, due to not being able to get the air over the rads quick enough.

Maybe I'm just getting too old!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

It was the slowest may day I have been on Tony, loads of cars and very few overtaking oppotunities and packed in Hastings.

The traffic did the job for plod, still a good day though, but gets slower each year tbh

We went down early grabbed some breakfast and then left early around 1pm and the traffic going into Hastings was all cars, my problem with it is its no longer just a bike run too many cars try going down and don't get me started on the idiot quad drivers that think they can filter as well.

make that +1 on the quad riders, saw a young child get almost run over by one, quad rider was pulling a wheelie, only reason the kid didn't get run over was a member of public pulled him out the way, quad still clipped back of child's legs thou.
I was on the Mag stool doing my bit, and handing out leaflets and the alot of people complaining about the quads

The quad problem gets worse every year wad nice to see that they stopped them parking on the fountain this year. The biggest problem is you can ride on on a car license and have no idea that they are different beasts
