Great Old Memories

I was sorting through some old files trying to free up space on my PC when I came across some photos that brought back great memories.

In December 2004, we joined over 2,500 riders at Rockingham Race Track in the UK in an attempt to break the world record for the highest number of Santa Clause's on a race track on motorcycles at one time and raise a load of money for a childrens charity.

Sadly, we failed to break the record.....hardly surprising as it was organised in the middle of a British winter, when there was snow in many parts of the country. That we actually got 2,500 bikes there and raised many thousands of £'s for Charity was a huge triumph in itself - and despite the freezing cold, we all had a fantastic time.

A few photos from the day.......hopefully they raise a smile   :good:

The Family - me, Liz and our 2 boys, Kev and Ryan.

That brought a smile to my face. Fun on bikes and helping kids, win win...
