Default What a strange convoy?

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?

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
