Just thought I'd show you the brilliant day I had today. I live in Newcastle on the east coast of Australia and there is what's reffered to as the annual bike run on today. Bikes/scooters of all sorts come together each year for a cruise to raise money and bring toys for a charity event for under privillaged kids.
Its a day where those who are interested in bikes can come along and see what its all about and see that us lot arent a bad bunch of guys.
The atmosphere is great and everyone just leaves their jackets and lids on their bikes. It shows a lot of trust and respect all round.
I must say everyone was well behaved and I didnt see 1 person riding around like a twat ( not sure theyd be game enough)
Estimates say there was around 7000 bikes that came from far and wide to join the event.

Ive included a number of picks so you can see how big the day was and a few bikes that caught my eye
It also serves to raise the awareness of bikes to all other road users. Thumbs Up
There was no reports of accidents and I only heard of one woman who was getting off her bike that managed to knock another one over Embarassed . So a successful day..bloody brilliant Thumbs Up Very Happy

Surely when we decided to send the convicts to Australia, and stay ourselves resident in the UK, we made a serious cockup?

Look at that bloody weather. You dont know what that's worth!

We had a toy run in Joburg last Sunday. The organisers sed > 12,000 bike pitched. If anything TOO many bikes turned up and it was very tricky whipping along the motorway with quads etc. The weather broke in the afternoon and cooled it down nicely. Its a bit of a bugger when you HAVE to ride ALL year. Very Happy

I was there selling biker Tees, it was a great day for charity but the rain showers now and then did put a damper on things a little. Not much drag racing & stunts due to the slippery conditions.

Some bikers arrived at the scene pissed out of their minds at 9:00am in the morning, by the time they left they could hardly stand up, never mind ride their bikes home! Sick
The blood donation people gave out 1 pint of beer for 1 pint of blood donated to them. So now you are not only light headed from loss of blood, but fall down drunk as well........Not the best of ideas!!
I saw one bike accident on the way home, but am sure there must have been more.

Quality photos Thumbs Up

weather over in the UK isnt as bad as every one makes out, in my oppinion wet and cold weather makes riding a bike more fun as it gives you a challenge, hence thats why i am riding throughout the winter again,

Bring on the snow Smile
