lindylou53 Â Â 18 #1 Posted September 29, 2017 Anyone know what the cavalcade of motorbikes with police escorts was for today at Shalesmoor going on to Penistone Road? Was there a rally somewhere?

lindylou53 Â Â 18 #3 Posted September 29, 2017 I couldn't help noticing that several of the riders weren't wearing helmets-what was the significance of this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

ANGELFIRE1 Â Â 10 #7 Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) The police should not be choosing who they allow to break the law and how does putting your head/life at risk show respect.

darylslinn   10 #9 Posted October 1, 2017 The whole funeral cortege was at very low speed and was led by a couple of police outriders and followed up by some too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jog_on   10 #10 Posted October 1, 2017 It was very slow and the pace and route controlled by the police outriders. Apparently it comes under the rules of a parade and you do not have to wear a helmet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
