..On the run..

So after the pics below were taken, more and more participants arrived. with 10.30 fast approaching, a few people mounted their steeds, slipped their helmets on and preapared for departure.
I must at this point thank Al, who had the forsight to pick Wolfy start his engine (the organiser of the run for those who dont know) and start ever so slowly to roll out. I ended up right at the front of the 400 strong convoy, thus avoiding all of the smoke and scrapes of others! boy what a run. through central london, out east onto the north circular, then onto the A127 and full throttle out to the half way point. words cannot descibe the elation of riding at 55mph along this open road on such a gloriously beautiful day. *sigh*
anyhoo, here are some more pics, including a shot of TJ's bomber jacket. some loverly rally patches indeed! thanks again to Al, Wolfy and all fellow scooterists who took part and helped make the start to summer a fantastic one!
