Todays Run

Today I had a lovely ride in the sunshine to the National Motorcycle Museum, the end point of the Fred Hill memorial run organised by the West Midlands MAG. My attendance was to gauge reaction to the "PINK" honda, and to get me into the swing of promoting the charities. I think about 75-100 bikes turned up, the bulk made up from members of the Unwanted MCC and the
Boring Old Farts MCC. A lot of very friendly people who made an "outsider" on a "Pink Honda" feel welcome, a few even took leaflets.

We gathered in a room which the museum had kindly provided, listened to a speech by one of MAG's officials about their work with the UK government; the FEMA with the EEC, then finished off with a summary about the late Fred Hill and a minutes silence. Finally a collection, the sound of coins falling into a bucket is a proven pyschology that works. I even bought a sew on patch (don't know who's going to do that job....)

Another idea.....who makes these patches......and whats the margin?

Then upstairs to the museum cafe, where you can get a good cup of tea for 85p, and where I overheard:
"Christ thats a frothy cup of tea" to which came the reply, "Its a frothy coffee.....a cappucino"
"Bloody hell, you'll be buying a Ducati next!"

Sorry no pics at the event, they were to be candid ( I hate posing) however
my photographer (my son) has a new girlfriend and has been AWOL most of the
weekend......

have fun stay safe
