Whilst in Guildford today 4 armed riders pulled up to look in the bike shop, they had been ‘on a job" at Farnborough airport which I assume was VIP for the coronation.

What interested me was that all 4 used car parking space - 2 backed to the kerb then 2 in front - once all in one of the riders gave a "dismount" call and they all turned off the bikes, put down the side stands and got off the bikes as one - is this normal as a procedure….it did have a cool impact.


Nice guys and one bumped in to me accidentally and he said "sorry, people dislike us enough"

Makes sense. They had what looked like a glock or other 9mm plus 2 extra mags….should be enough for an ambush.

They all used to have SEG as part of the number plate, not sure if that is still the case
