RE the change of tactics, that's the way it is. If we were not doing this, there would be no rally.... its as simple as that. We would not receive the necessary approval to take 10,000 bikes to parliament... and if we dis, what would we be doing... asking the DfT to fund anti diesel spill leaflets for us.... well they are doing that.

I agree that the price £25 is putting people off. the problem I have is that I will have 617 bikes to refuel in 50 minutes, the only way that can be done is f I buy the fuel in advance, get riders to ride up, open their tank, a marshals will dispense the fuel and then they go and park up.

We simply do not have the time for each rider to refuel their own bike, queue up and pay for it.

The same applies to the breakfast. The services don't want 617 people queueing up for a breakfast, we could not feed these people within 50 minutes, so again, like the fuel, we are pre ordering the breakfasts and paying for them in advance.

Its the only way we can get you from London to Donington, without running out of fuel.

Your t shirt is needed so that we can identify you and to ensure you wont be stopped at the gates of bikefest UK to pay.

I hope you understand where we are coming from, It will be a great day for those of you who make the effort. Those of you who don't, well, that's your choice.

Whatever you do ride safe
