    Councils are nuts. Driving away thousands of people who pour money into their local traders

    It was a good turn out, I didn’t attend due to the gritted roads but could see/hear the bikes all day, few rusty riders & bikes out after winter lay ups resulting in a few mishaps inc a young man who lost his life en route, it’s a shame it wasn’t all positive as was hoped.

    That’s awful, RIP poor lad

    I guess with weather/road conditions & 4000 bikes it’s inevitable unfortunately, I wonder if it may have been more productive a little later in the Spring?
    I see next years event is already organised which surprises me as I thought it was a protest & no doubt the decision over parking will have been made by then.

    I did Ryan’s Ride in 2010 along with Katana, Champs and Ses from on here. There was an accident in the line just  ahead of us funnily enough. These big ride outs can be more risky than you might think.

    Odd that next years protest ride date is already set

    Do you enjoy the event, do you think it will make any difference?

    Was good to see so many out for the same cause. Time will tell if it will have an effect. Tbh i dont ride in UK as much as i used to..mainly go abroad now..far better roads and way less traffic.
