3 unmarked black audis and an unmarked superbike?

[AshBurrows]

Anyone ever seen anything like this before? Was like something off a bond film.
3x black A6s driving in formation, quickly with a black unmarked bike. Looked like a superbike style bike.
All with blues in grille. I live in Warwick so I doubt it was royals being moved or anything like that. Was surreal to see.

Mega curious about it and I know people have asked about trucks etc before and it's turned out to be nukes moving around.

Saw something similar in Lincoln a while back, tight formation and moving at speed through the city. Can't imagine anyone being that important round these parts.....

Doesn't Prince William/Harry like taking his Sports Bike out?

Some minor grasping parasite Royal on a jolly trip into the countryside to glimpse the peasants perhaps?

Training?

I've seen a couple on their way to/from Stansted Airport travelling along the M11 in recent months.

2 x BMW 5 series, 3 x Range Rovers, 5 x Bikes, 1 x marked Range Rover.

They seem to travel just above NSL when there's traffic about and then make due progress when the volume of traffic decreases.

I can only imagine they're driving VIPs to Stansted - well that and operating the private flights out of the UK for nasty people.

MIL's next door neighbour is a spook and has an all black super bike with lights on it.

Never know!

Absolutely. Could be any of the leeches out for a tour.

Military most likely. My old boss who is effortlessly quick behind the wheel without trying used to offer a hand to the mod training bunch once a year, well until he dropped their convoy way to easily, was awkward when they all got back.

In English?

Jealousy is not a good trait

It's kinda obvious apparently but I'm just passing on the story as it fits with the bike with lights vehicle..

[AJXX1]

SEG convoy possibly carrying something light or a person or just scouting out the route with a large convoy further behind? (though if it's the latter not sure why they'd have their blues on).

OP lives in Warwick which (depending on the route - I assume it changes daily) puts him directly on the route from AWE Burghfield (Berkshire) to RNAD Coulport.

I've seen convoys of bikers going through Blackpool Illuminations escorted by unmarked superbikes with blue lights. I think they were just using kits bought off the Internet to stick on their bikes and look official while they blocked traffic and kept all their mates together in one group.

We were resurfacing a road (in Warwickshire) last year in a full closure with residents access. Black superbike with blue strobes arrived wanting to pass and finally squeezed past on the pavement at speed. No way was he official, just some numpty with eBay strobes to get through traffic.

Do they have an escort when going for a jolly?

As surely no A6 is going to catch up when they open the throttle on a R1 etc!

Or do they follow him on a tracker...

Do you think that he'd be allowed to do what he wanted on the road?

I imagine it would be fun having use of a bike that wasn't officially registered anywhere and being able to get away with any speeding offences.

Royalty don't get away with traffic offences, no matter what excuses they make up.
