Matt, That is a broad spectrum of bikers there, unusual to see, that shows respect to your lost friend .

 

Yup. There are talks of another ride out later in the summer which might be bigger than last nights as it would be a regional one. But will also have culmination of other vehicles including Land Rover, BMW, Merc, VW and Subaru.

I will let you guys judge this video but this is the unmarked car overtaking us to get in front of the procession and stop us all.

Sounds like some riders broke the rules so got pulled over? Matey with the dodgy number plate was lucky not to get busted... don't really see the problem myself.

 

When my mate died there was a ride out, police were informed and even attended providing traffic control at round abouts etc... very helpful

I think the problem was overtaking on a blind bend, it sounds like a lot of bikes on procession, how long was he on that blind bend with nowhere to pull back over? Very silly and dangerous manoeuvre from what I can see. Although only saying what I can see from one perspective. ..

The thing is the copper thought the rider which went over on the double whites was one of the marshals but it wasn't. Its more the fact he nearly caused several accidents trying to catch up with the marshals (two of which were on duty unmarked traffic cops). An official complaint has been made and the video i have put up will be sent via email as well.

 

The police that night couldn't spare a car or two for traffic management so the marshals had to do the job so had to get a wriggle on between roundabouts and junctions.
