Well peeps, what a great day out. Up to Birch services for 7.30am. Already there where about 3-400 bikes. Press, News, Tv etc....and of course the Police.

Met up with Goff :D:headbang:

At 8.00, around 2-3000 bikes :crowded: had gathered..exact figure...duno. 8.10am...set off down the motorway at around 10-20 mph, using all 3 lanes and a few using the hard shoulder. Yeah we had a police escort...

Anyhoo..we got to Man Utd Fc ground and parked up on the main road, blocking all surrounding roads..we hadnt got 2 our destination at Salford Quays yet. After about 15 mins..we got moving again and set off for The Quays.

Those that where there....cool ..those that werent..shame you couldnt make it, you missed an awsome day.

After the protest.. Myself and Goff headed for Matlock Bath.

New great shop there on North Parade (up an Arcade)....called Twisted Spanner.

A great day out...and Goff thinks Im a nutter.. :headscratch: ..Maybe she will explain.

Total respect to all who got involved in this, I was going the other way in the cage with the R6 minus the fairing on the trailer behind, saw you all go past while I waited in the que to go up the M66 :eek2: If it hadn't been for the shot clutch I would have been with you!
