16th of January, London - Blackwall tunnel

Post by duke »

Does anyone admit to riding two-up on a "Tiger stripe" this morning (16th of January 2007) through Blackwall tunnel around 8:30 AM?

not me - but I think I might know who that is - friend of mine.

Was he behaving?? ;)

Was the pillion wearing white MX boots and a VERY bright orange helmet?

:( I do not remember details about the pillion kit.

Not at all - we just stopped together at the traffic ligts on the exit for A13. Just that it is the first EVER Rockster (apart from my one) I see close-up with rider on top of it. We shook hands (gloves rather) and everyone went their way.

I reckon once the gale force winds subside we should organise a short rideout!?!

I'd be up for that. RB?

Rockster Rideout??


sounds a bit gey......
















;)

I think there was a meet up of the Southern UK Rocksters at Bury Hill a couple of years back (ironically I missed it). We could organise a meet up at Box (reasonable distance from everyone) when the weather warms up. :)

Oh.
