11TH MAY 2009. MOTORCYCLE/SCOOTER MASS - MONDAY MAYHEM

Hi guys, not sure if you are aware of the No Parking charges campaign that has been going on since last year. I went to the last demo ride they had on March 31st, it was an awesome experience.

They are doing another one on Monday 11th May, meeting at Trafalgar Sq at 5:45 for a 6:15 departure. This time they are riding through the main shopping areas of Westminster, so that will mean TOTAL chaos in Central London for other road users!!! It's all very peaceful, there is no trouble. Just hundreds of bikers expressing their disgust at Westminster parking charges.

You may say, well I don't live or work in Westminster, therefore this does not affect me....but please note, this is a trial scheme. If they deem it to be successful, they could roll it out across London and the UK. So effectively, this could affect all two wheeled vehicles.

If you are able to make it on that day it would be great, as I said, I went to the last one and it was just an awesome experience. See the link below for more details.

IF I am able I'll be there

For those of you who are interested in attending this, and if you have the day off... there is a meet at Ace Cafe at 4pm leaving at 5pm riding down to Trafalgar Square...

Great Adam, we need as many riders there to make our voices, engines and horns heard

if i am still in london at the time [after uni] ill stay for this! If i can make it ill call u sincerre and we can ride up together and Sharon we can meet u there!

Sounds good Pre, but I can tell you now...meeting at Trafalgar Square will be like finding a needle in a haystack!!! There will be 100's upon 100's of bikes there, if the last demo is anything to go by. It'll be near impossible to find anyone....But the main thing is being there, whether you meet me there or not.

Hey Adam, as I said yesterday my mate who I planned to ride with wants to leave from Ace. If she can get the time off, that's where we will leave from. If not, we will be leaving directly from work at 5:30....hopefully we will see you guys on route

i got a lecture from 4-6pm that day, so i will try to come straight there and have an eye open for you all! if i cant make it, hope its a good ride and some progress happens with the parking fee's issue! i cant stand to pay another £150 this year just to park up!!!

Here are some pictures I took on route....

You just couldn't help youself could you Sincere

The next protest ride is scheduled for Tuesday 9th June. So hope more of us can make it to that one. But it was a really good evening
