Essex 2nd March 2008 Ride for Roy
      #22061 - 23/02/2008 22:50

Hi People,

I would like to suggest a ride out with a difference.

As some of you know I joined this site a short while ago and mentioned I was part of the "Flying Bananas",

Well, the other "flying banana" Roy, is terminally ill with cancer and restricted to his bed in Stanford le Hope, Essex - (Never to ride again)
I owe him alot because he let me marry his daughter.

On Sunday 2nd March I would be very gratefully if as many bikes as possible roll down his road - he has promised me that if we do he will get out of bed and wave from the window.

So I am appealing to you all, every biker that knows what this is like, every biker that can make a difference, every biker that could help by just giving some time on Sunday 2nd March.

Spread the word - make a dying man proud to be a biker.

The meeting place is Thurrock Services, M25, Junction 30/31 Petrol Station - look for me, I am riding a 57 plate 1250 Bandit Streetfighter - black.

We are meeting at 11:30 to leave at 11:45/12:00, down the A13 East Bound to Stanford le Hope, to Roy's road post code SS170EN, then on to either Southend or up the Burnham bends. - decided on the day.

You do not know how thankful and proud I am to know this man, that is why I am trying to give him this one wish......................

Who's with me?
email : Lng.engineer@yahoo.com

for more details.

A big big thank you to all who turned out and the well wishers that couldn't,

official count was 86 bikes - fantastic



You will always be in my heart and I'm sure in Roy's thoughts, dreams and memories.

Thank you - you proud bunch,

I Love you all, and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I think today the word I would use is "SPECIAL".

Be safe, be free and ride like the wind.

You bloody heroes - you're all the same, and I love ya.
