CMSMJ1 Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Well done all. Great riding and fettling and some great pics. Support crew and communication executives also deserving of some kudos. As an alumnus of the school of stupid all day rides I find my memory of the trauma sufficiently reduced so that if I can find a bike and some time to ride it....I may chuck my hat in again for an anniversary ride.. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svingel Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 This gives me a mixture of laughter, and a bit of grit in my eye. It might be a small event, seen in a bigger context, but still, it is fantastic what a magazine, some dodgy characters, and love for motorbikes can do. That and "A crate of Red Bull and enough speed to kill a horse"!! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

originalracingsnake Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Fantastic news to wake up to this morning. Everyone involved should be very, very, proud of themselves.

It was great to see the reprobates from the forum, and I've noticed that there is a pattern forming in that I keep ending up in carparks talking to strange leather clad men from the internet.

TKDMitch Posted June 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 2 hours ago, Ian_H said: Do we have a final roll call of who made it and who dropped out? Two riders didn't start the ride, and we had two retirements. Luke on the Brackenburgman from what sounds like engine trouble, and Andy Crackett who was very close when he hit something and damaged his front wheel (see the pic earlier in this thread). I think that means we had 30 riders make it on their bikes, 2 in the van. Edit to add: one rider suffered electrical failure on his bike, collected his other bike from home, and finished on that. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevini Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Top effort by all. The riders especially, but also the peeps that turned out to man check points etc because it couldn't happen without them either. Cap doffed. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDMitch Posted June 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 I've just uploaded an album of photos taken by Heds, it's on the Facebook Page and called Snapchap. Do yourself a favour and go and have a look through. A proper photographer like him can really capture the emotion and character of an event in a way us mere mortals can't. Top work Heds, thank you.

heds954 Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Must be mentioned about the sterling work that @Tony B and his missus did for PS3, and not forgetting the spanner twirling and hammer wielding of @srad34, @DesmoEddyand a couple of other previous LDU'ers, Chris and Mick, and the many ladies who made copious amounts of tea and coffee, lovely sarnies, cakes, and other scrummy goodness!

Great photos. Nice to see James wielding a hammer on his steed smashing it into submission. Like the sun rising in the east and setting behind the burnt out Astra. Love it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
