Cheers AtLarge
We too have a blessing from the weather Gods. We will ride in spirit in this cause.
I hope to see some pics as well.
Respect!
26th September 2015 at 9:41 am #12640DuffyParticipantLovely day for polishing the bike ready for tomorrow. 10am start for us in Southampton. Wishing good luck to all of you doing their ride tomorrow. As the saying goes “keep upright and between the kerbs”
For all of you with a prostate or those who know someone with one its not to late to support any of us doing the ride!!

Unequivocally the best looking bike at the meet.
We even had a few weirdo’s show up too.
Passed the 20k milestone at one of our stops.
Oh, and I came in 3rd for contributions to the foundation.
Everyone had a great time, good food, and nice ride together.
29th September 2015 at 6:39 pm #12591KaptainkwakKeymasterNice pics AtLarge. Looks like a good time was had by all.
Our Manchester ride went well. Over 130 made it out so a great turnout.
I got up at 7. First job was to pack the picnic on the bike then get myself ready . . .
29th September 2015 at 6:45 pm #12592KaptainkwakKeymasterThen it was meet the rest of the crew Tango, Sammy and Jimmy) and get down to our start meet . . .
29th September 2015 at 6:48 pm #12593KaptainkwakKeymasterThe ride went well with over 130 bikes taking part and clear blue skies. The weather Gods did look after us.
29th September 2015 at 6:54 pm #12594KaptainkwakKeymasterWe had one minor mishap when Sammy’s bike refused to start to go home. Well she did buy a yamahahahahaha. Anyway a nice man from the AA came out and fixed it. Only took him about 2 1/2 hours to find a broken wire in the middle of the harness that had previously been bodged and cunningly disguised. Well done that man!
Good job we had had a hearty picnic on the grass.
29th September 2015 at 6:56 pm #12595KaptainkwakKeymasterThe Crew from left to right;
Sammy, kaptainkwak (me), Tango and Jimmy
30th September 2015 at 2:32 am #12612AtLargeParticipantWOW! Over 130. That’s awesome and what a classy bunch. Thanks for the extra points too Kap’n. Your a gentleman and a scholar. ๐ :pint:
1st October 2015 at 5:30 pm #12622TangoParticipantYep fully enjoyed ourselves.
We will look forward to next year.
1st October 2015 at 8:49 pm #12623MichaelParticipantHi guys (and gals),
well done and very nice outfit !
I can’t cope with that ๐I have attended the Munichs DGR and there where approx 250 attendees !
Here some pics:
The group picture was done at the Munich Kรถnigsplatz [Koenigsplatz].
It was like a flash mob !
Hundreds of people parked their bikes in front and placed themselves on the steps of that building, an official group picture was done by a drone (small remote controlled helicopter) and suddenly everyone was gone !We left as the latest ones in a group with seven people, heading out of Munich towards our homes in the same area, approx 50 to 70 km away.
I’ve led that group with mixed speed from 80 to max. 100 km/h as it was quite cold and the clothing wasn’t the best to ride a bike ๐It was fun, nice bikes to look at and we have three new group members to our local bike / caferacer group.
Looking forward to next years DGR !
Cheers, Michael
1st October 2015 at 9:10 pm #12596KaptainkwakKeymasterNice pics and bikes Michael. You scrub up quite well Sir.
We did the Manchester ride this year. I’m thinking of doing the Lancashire one next year. There are quite a few fewer bikes but it is more of a ride rather than a stop/start city route.
4th October 2015 at 2:30 pm #12613AtLargeParticipantI see Michael was wearing the team color flying in the breeze. ๐
5th October 2015 at 8:55 am #12624MichaelParticipantHaha, you got it !
“Let the good times roll, aahm, fly!”
Cheers, Michael
5th October 2015 at 6:26 pm #12597KaptainkwakKeymasterin the interest of ‘Letting the Good Times Roll’ I also wore Green but it was not on public show. I didn’t think you would want to see me in my undies ๐
