Thanks for saying that!

ooooh what excellent videos!

The thing standing in our way (KB) would be the teamwork required. I reckon we could get a bunch of skilled riders together, but could we get them to put their egos aside and not try to be the single stand-out attention-seeker? I doubt it.

Sadly with some folks I guess this is true however those who wanted to do something like this would already realise that a single stand out attention seeker is not needed...

God the hope goes down doesn't it.

Last year I played my pipes at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

They had a motorcycle display team there which were called the IMPS. Basically a youth program that took at-risk young kids and trained them to ride bikes in formation. They were bloody good (even if one night a rider overshot the esplanade and broke his arm - whoops)

Lots of videos on youtube if you're interested.
