good ride, I went from Milton, Didcot in the end. At least 130 bikes there and we rode all the way to Newbury at 35mph. Certainly got our point across

Yes, many other motorways also. All afternoon the A-B roads where buzzing with bikes, for sure a lot of people out for the event. Not that you'd know it by the news, unless one seaches specificaly for it:

Sorry eddie500, I had left home at 8:30 else I'd replied.. The H-Cafe meeting was an all day'er I think.

Did anyone here go to the H-Cafe?

Edit: [ Some footage of events ]

cant see how large groups of bikers meeting and riding round for a few hours on a sunday will make any difference at all to be honest

There's a number of folk who feel the same. It was a good day out but I believe writing to ACPO is the best method, withdrawing our consent. MP's will do what they do best, two steps forward and one step back.. As such we will still get some new regulations, later on they will bring in more and more and more. If folk use the powers that they have we can stop the rot and even reverse bad laws.
