The reason for this rideout demo in to the center of London is because the Government has decided that theres not going to be a national road pricing scheme this was good news the bad news is that they've handed the decision over to local goverment to decide on wither they want to do a road pricing scheme.
So on Saturday October 20th it was an early get up I waited for Fish to get his bike started then off down the M1 for a quick stop at Wrecker and Corals place in Luton where it was bacon butties and Danish pastries(for Fish). After being well fed it was off in to London the rideout was setting off from Wembley stadiums carpark.
The rideout set off on time at 13:00 with a police escort into the center of London at the Cenotaph on Whitehall where the ride finished there were some speeches from Riders connect and MPs.
The turnout for the ride was good some people may have been put off by the£5 charge to go on the ride, half the charge was to pay for the rideout half went to charity. A small price to pay to try and stop something that could cost us bikers more than a fiver.
