It felt weird nodding at riders when I didn't have a helmet on. I didn't want to wave in case they thought I needed help. I was grinning like an idiot when I recognised KnightRider and realised I was getting a TVSF fly-past
Ah, you were parked up on the other side of the road, right? I Poss. somewhere near Bicester?

I thought the face looked familiar.

Great ride chaps and many thanks to Debs and Pete for the hospitality. Was good to blow the cobwebs off to get rid of the winter riding habits.

A message from Deb's I received via email

Pete and I would like to thank you for arranging Mark's memorial ride yesterday. We know that you are busy at this time. Please also pass on our thanks to all the guys and girls that chose to attend the ride. It really was such a lovely gathering and we enjoyed meeting so many of Mark's friends and acquaintances again. I do wish that you all could
have taken a couple of cans of beer - you need to bring those bungy sacks that you put on the bikes with you next year! I took some flowers to Shillingford on Sunday morning and the site really does look so nice. Somebody has put up a new sign and the words are very touching - I was worried that everybody would just forget about Mark and he would just become a distant memory, but I don't think that he will now. THANK YOU

I would also like to mirror that thanks. I know some of you cancelled appointments and arrangements to be there yesterday and others travelled quite some distance. It was most appreciated.

Same again next year folks.

Aw that's really nice to hear. Was it Debs that planted all the flowers at the site? It looked amazing when I rode past on Friday, I think it was a wonderful idea.

No way are we forgetting Mark, he made sure of that!

I can't guarantee I'll be able to attend every year but there is no way we could ever forget such a character.

I have an amusing memory of riding behind Mark and everytime his stripey boxer shorts were flapping in the wind!

Makes me chuckle everytime.

Jeez Dan, I am trying to get the picture of offset ar5e sticking out of his leathers out of my mind. If only he would have zipped the jacket to the trousers I would have been able to sleep without nightmares.

A great day out though. Thanks to all involved in making the day so pleasant.
