Positive News about Bikers for once.
Discussion
Some of you may have seen this already as it has made a few media outlets already? But in the wake of all the moped gangs etc .. news stories being reported lately it is nice to see a bit of positive press for bikers for a change.
Bit of background.
There is a local group to me called `North East Bikers Against Bullies' and they have done various things for local kids who are getting bullied.
The one event I attended last week, and the one which has made the news was for a young lass from Chester-le-Street who had suffered at the hands of bullies, and was escorted from her home all the way to her prom at Lumley Castle by approx 120 or bikers.
While I have never been a victim of bullying, nor being a bully myself, I have no shame in saying that I had a lump in my throat and slightly watery eyes (hayfever innit bruv) when the lass stepped out of the car surrounded by all these bikers there specifically for her. .... If any of you watch the video from the link below, you will briefly see me on the right, on the grey S1000R with my leathers unzipped.
I was right behind the car and in front of everyone else watching. Seeing her face and the reaction of the rest of the kids attending the prom along with all their parents and all the teachers and staff made me feel immensely proud for the lass, I bet she felt 100 foot tall and invincible at the moment.

Nice touch 
PS it would have only taken about 4 hells angels to offer the same effect
