Some weeks ago, PC Andrew Harper was tragically killed whilst on duty. He was a well respected young man who had been married for just one month. I’ve known Andrew’s wife Lissie’s parents for many years, not well, but enough to feel genuinely sad for them and Lissie. The events leading up to his death have been well reported in the media, so I don’t need to say any more about that.
What may not be widely known is that a Ride of Respect has been organised by the biker community. This tragedy seems to have touched the heart of the nation and there are more than 9000 people registered so far. Not everyone will be riding but there will be thousands taking part. Morgan 3 Wheelers are welcome to join, it would be great if we could have a few attend, I’m already registered.
The date for the ride is Sunday 27th October, from RAF BENSON to ABINGDON Airfield. There is a registration fee of £5 per person (or more if you’d like) to cover costs, any surplus going in the right direction.
If any of you guys and gals would like to join me and thousands of others on this Ride of Respect, I would suggest we meet up at my place (plenty of parking) before heading in convoy to RAF Benson (6 miles).
