Some good photos chris it was a good day out even if there was faults but end of the day nothing of this scale has ever been don before so you have to expect problems. We rode through about 4ish and there was still loads of people stood at the side of the road.


Nutah if you kept your fuel in the frame maybe you would of made it all the way round lOl

I think those who turned up early for this had the best of it, we arrived with the Portsmouth Posse (Blackrag123-Banjo etc) at 12.15 for the 12-1pm ride through, to find a complete free for all.
My lad n I finally got off the airfield at 3.45, yet still a lot of people were on the route waving n clapping, quite amazing.
Round trip of 378 miles, would we do it again?
OH YEAH.

Not sure how long we waited but it must have been the best part of 4 hours. Nice once we got going but a lot of standing about. On the bright side nothing over took losttyke and I all the way there and back, my neck still hurts today :run:

Close on triple figures all the way city cross still isn't the best bike for motorways.

Nope, me n Ross were on my XB9sx, Hero Blue of course! Reckon Ross was a hero, nearly 400miles trying to stay on the back. lOl
Of course most 'normal' bikes have a passenger grabrail but as Buells aren't 'normal' ya have to adapt 'em ;)
