Fallen Friends 2010 Rideout SQUIRES & Event history

[shooey]

Fallen Friends Rideout:


Tasty Tarmac (RIP) wanted to arrange a forum wide meet up at whereby the entire forum could meet up and go for a ride-out through the Yorkshire Moors.  TT was arranging this until he was tragically taken away from us on the 17th June 2006.

In honour and remembrance of TT,   Kerm and Raider organised the very first tribute Rideout from Squires on the planned date that TT had originally organised for the forum.

Since the original Rideout we have lost other friends, to this passion, hobby and love of the motorcycle. We therefore changed the name from TT tribute ride-out to Fallen Friends Rideout (FF), and celebrated the lives of not only TT, but the other 22 fallen of SBF.

To be honest this name change caused some distress, but the principle and purpose of the Fallen Friends Rideout remains unchanged.

Every year SBF have held a Rideout to honour our friends, to raise a little money for a charity and to get together much like TT original idea.

Last year we had a successful Rideout around the Midlands, and paid homage to those lost, with the motorcyclist 2 minutes silence. We also raised approx £300 and met up and partied well into the early hours.

So this year Kerm and I are a little disappointed that this Rideout has failed to gain the support it deserves, and have had to cancel the Rideout around Scotland.

This Forum is so much more than just posting comments on this and that thread, this forum is about like minded motorcyclists getting together, having a laugh and sharing a beer.

The Rideout is open to anyone who is registered on this forum, and every effort will be made to ensure that the Rideout goes well and no-one is left behind. It is also a reminder of how fragile our mortality is, and lets us remember those we have lost.

So please consider joining us for the Rideout from Squires, and come and meet the people behind the forum names. And let’s celebrate what it is to be a member of a very special forum.

We will be posting details soon,

Many Thanks

Kerm and Shooey

very true shooey,and have been to a couple of the events however time for me(more w/ends b/hols) are a no no so couldn't make the previous date.


but lets not fool ourselves,the forum is nothing like it was 1/2/3 years ago and a lot of the people that went on the meet ups/events have left the site and 1 of the other things that has changed is the lack of rideouts+scocial events.(and i know it's a vicous circle,less people turn up,less are arranged...).

it's a real shame as the times i've been to events have been brilliant.

hope it does happen though.

Having been to 4 of these events i would recommend them to anyone ,i don't think we will ever match the Blackpool one ever again though with the amount of bikes and people that was the best of the best,the trouble is its the same old people that actually turn up to these events and as Scooby says most of them have either left or don't come on very often now   If they do come all they want to do is the rideout and go home,the pìss up on the friday night and saturday night were the highlights Hence why i pulled out of last years last of the sun Rideout as i was going to be the only person at squires on the friday night
