Default £430 raised for Help for Heroes !!

Really pleased to report that the grand total raised for H4H was £430

Considering that the turnout was slightly less than previous year's, the rotten weather, the fact that times are hard for everybody, and also that this year we weren't able to get the stickers free of charge, so that money had to be deducted from the total, I reckon that's a pretty awesome amount, thank you so much to everyone who contributed

A huge Thank you also to Ronnie (ron uk2000), for organising the route (what a shame I am totally incapable of following anything that involves the concept of 'route' ), to Danny (dantheman) for kickstarting the whole event in the first place, plus his mate who went round with the collecting bucket, and to Lee Brown for sorting out the stickers........and to Phoebe Callison for having the front to take the collection bucket round to the VXR owners and getting them to cough up as well

All in all a great night, thank you everyone

A good result, from a good night. I enjoyed getting lost....... Lots of times.

Was a lonely drive to Parliament Square.

Here's a quick pic from the Eye. Where the weather got spectacularly bad.

The weather was the only thing that let us down, the roads in tunnels were not build for grip in the wet.

Great effort guys, well done to all!

I think I speak on behalf of all on congratulating Lorraine and phoebe for being the bucket-bearers and collecting loads of dosh for an EXTREMELY worth-while cause. No doubt the lads and lasses currently going through rehab in Hedley Court would send their thanks and gratitudes too!!

1 second head start! haha there wasn't around the bend in Dartford.

For a N/A 4 cylinder it don't do bad, still not sure of the sound, like a Vespa on steroids
