The neighbour went on his Harley last Sunday, to the local Easter Egg run he's been doing for a few years now.

A very worth while cause :D  :D  :D

I used to do the run with MAG in Birmingham way back in the late 70's early 80's, well before any political correctness and "chocolate is bad for kids" issues (damn you Jamie Oliver) :roll:

We also used to take underprivileged children to the seaside for the day. Due to undesirables living in society nowadays, trips like these won't even get off the ground. Shame as for these children it was the only time they'd get out for the day and be totally spoilt  :cry:
