Hi Tony, Thank you for supporting the ride.
As has been said above the gang are a very warm and friendly group, the trouble is on a big meet like this is nobody knows who's new or not ! I've been a member for a number of years and there were I would guess ten or so new faces to me. this makes it impossible to pick out anybody new. It was also a chance to say hello to people I've not seen in ages.
All I would suggest is next time (hope there's a next time) bite the bullet and get talking to people yourself, we don't bike, honest !

Cheers
Gerry
