Just a min ago on the way home, saw:

A red van marked "112 Fehrwuer" or something like that, blue siren things on top

6 bikes, of which I identified as a blade, gsxr, vfr, some sort of chopper, missed the other 2. Very nice spec from what I could see/hear.

Another one of those red vans following up the rear

All doing 60-65mph in the middle lane, and all on german plates. The bikes never overtook or anything.

Googled it, came up with nowt, wonder what that was all about?

PRobably extraditing some dodgy criminal... or sending that wikileaks bloke back to switzerland or sweden or wherever it is he comes from.

is 112 Feurwehr not the equivalent of 999 Fire Service in Germany?

lol, I spelt it wrong, hence no hits :/

Possibly a charity run or similar I guess. Was about the most interesting thing I saw on the commute home anyway :)
