Hoggs Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 So this year I am legally allowed on motorways so am aiming to go. The aim is to form a circle of bikers dressed in red riding CLOCKWISE around the M25, all the bikersmaking up the biggest Poppy in the World. The rides are intended to present a physical show of support for our Armed Forces, both current and previous. Not every biker goes to a remembrance service on this day, but I do know that they Respect our armed service men and women. This is just another way of showing it.http://www.therideofrespect.co.uk/ring-of-red-m25" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;I believe there is also one happening around the M60 for our Northern friends!

Mawsley Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 THERE MAY BE INEXPERIENCED RIDERS IN YOUR GROUP UNABLE TO FILTER – PLEASE ADVISE LEAD RIDERS IF YOU WOULD NOT WISH TO FILTER. Should people who can't filter really be going on a mass rideout on the M25?It's the thing that puts me off doing big ride events. On a demo in Belgium I witnessed idiots hitting each other. And, after sighing at seeing a few minor knocks, I was next to a guy who got ploughed into by a vapid idiot rider on the first Ride of Respect at Wooton Basset- so he completed his day in an ambulance.

Guest Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I rode the M25 in the first poppy circle. Pretty impressive from J31 to J26.Since then I prefer to ride to Duxford museum on remembrance Sunday. The 2 minutes silence is very moving with 100's of people stood still, heads bowed in silent thoughts.It means a lot to me as Dad was in the RAF in ww2 and Grandad in ww1. Both survived but Grandad succumbed to malaria in 1923. The war ministry letter to my Nan states he must have contracted it in Leytonstone, and not in Egypt.Dad lived to 89 but his life was blighted by the legacy.I am lucky.
