So, who went in the end? The ten still isn't mot'd and my bollocks are still bleeding from my vasectomy so I couldn't make it.

Was there much hassle from the rozzers? All go well?

I was bored so I went even though I said I wouldn't. I was at Swallow Falls for 4pm and there were loads and loads and loads of people there! no trouble that I could see and no more police than I'd expect to see on any other sunny Sunday afternoon.

It was organised by MCN in protest of the way motorcyclists are treated by the police there. Apparantly 400 bikes are stopped every weekend when in excess of 350 have committed no offence. No small plate, noisy can, dark visor, excessive speed, nothing. It's claimed it's the polices way of discouraging bikers from north wales, so bikers decided to do something about it by thoroughly pissing them off.

Damn I would have loved to have attended that Thumbs Up

Hopefully they had a big screen with this video looping over and over Wink

It's a bit late for that, he's already retired...

.. that's why the whole thing was a pointless exercise for mcn to make themselves look important, why was it not done a few years ago when the offending chief constable was in charge not piss off the new one before he's already started.

Still it looks like it was a bloody good day out for all, probably boosted the annual income of north wales x2 for the year so not completely pointless. Laughing

I found all the police on my way home, there were three cars parked on the main road through Bethesda, all empty with no coppers in them. Took it super easy in case they were all behind walls with speed guns.
