Old Bikers Never Die

[Road2Manchester]

It struck me that the older bikers out there are missing out.
I for one want to ride until I am 100 at least, but I am already knackered, so another r50 odd years will probably see that off.

Inspired by a videl here on ADR Forum

I have started a facebook page http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?ei ... 8468326763

To get any older ex-riders out there out on pillions for the day.

April 1st 2012 is a Sunday, start at Rivington Barn (well know biker meet), via Manchester to the Cat & Fiddle, Buxton for a brew, and then down through to Matlock Bath, (Another great biker meet).

RIDERS (with bikes and pillion space)
Old bikers, Mums or Dads, Grand Dads/mums, Uncles/Aunts, friends or neighbours.

I will do a press release in December ( great Xmas pressy).

No fees, no rewards, just satisfaction that you put something back.

... but they're hard on tyres. :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

Actually that sounds like a great idea. Being a southern shandy drinker I've never been to Rivington Barn and all I know about it comes from the shock horror "police arrest 150 innocent bikers" revelations in MCN. Hopefully that's just journos never letting the truth get in the way of a good story because otherwise the pillions could get more of an experience than they imagined!

Many years ago I did manage to convince my mother she should come out on the pillion of one of my bikes. She kept encouraging me to go faster until eventually we hit 100mph :woohoo: She dined out on "I've been at 100mph on a motorcyle" for many years.

I've matured since then :whistle: (can't afford the fuel anyway!)

With stupid remarks like that. That's made my mind up not to bother with this site anymore...

This site is probably the stuff that a certain larger brewer would brag about!
Don't let the fly comments of a few people put you off, I'm sure there was nothing malicious intended.

BTW, a bit boring I know, but here goes anyway; make sure that the riders are insured for pillions, it could be one of those things that could get overlooked.
I get asked every year on renewal, and now the kids have grown up I've only had a pillion once or twice in as many years,.
