Great to meet you all today, and I have no words (unusual for me!) for what an overwhelming, moving, emotional experience it was today to be a part of that procession.
Twas a good day indeed. Great turnout and great support on the streets from the public. The only let down for me was the time it took to get everyone out of Drayton Manor. Was good to see John before he leaves us for a while and to briefly catch up with a few old friends though
Really good day out, well organised and supported by bikers and people lining the streets waving at everyone for what it represented. I can see it being more than 15,000 next year and all for a good cause. 1 3/4 hours to get out of Drayton Manor, we did get to eyeball a lot of bikes though.
Thoughrally enjoyed it ! nice to meet all you lovely BM peeps too. Lou....u have really got me thinking bout that ninja lol ! :-)
How many times did the hairs on my arm stand up on that day ! too many to count, awsome. Oh and then Matlock afterwards too...:-)
What a brill day - really enjoyed meeting up with you all (old and new faces) and being involved. Have an achy finger from tooting me horn so much. And how many bikes? Just soooooooooooooooooo fab - up for next year

Although I couldnt ride this year it was amazing watching all the bikes coming into the Arbouretum. The whole day was brilliant and thanx to the weather for being kind to every1.
Was great to breifly meet up with those I did, soz it was such a short time though
Was a great day. It would be hard to get 10000 bikes in any less time IMO but was very well organised all the same
I do think the ride to the Arboretum could be made a little longer for those who have come so far, but also know that would be a logistical nightmare too for the organisers with so many there
Great day and was overwhelming to see how many bikers there ... supporting our troops and those gone in the line of duty.
Great meeting new BMers and catching up with friends.
Thanx for lift Phil :)
6 hours in pouring rain to get there, 4 1/2 hours in pouring rain to get home afterwards.....glorious sunshine for the event!! Well worth the transit journeys to take part in such an amazing show of support.
Great to finally meet up with some of you guys too, hope to see you all and more again in the future.
Excellent day and well supported.
Great to see everyone and finally get to meet a few new faces :0
I spotted the trike of my dreams as well :(
Still in shock that a man of the cloth used a swear word
