This August Bank Holiday was the 40th Harley Davidson Rally in Baildon. And the sun shone! This year was also the 50th anniversary of the formation of The Wrecking Crew<\/a>, a Harley Davidson club, of which the Shipley branch plays a massive part in keeping the rally going year after year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An amazing job had been done by the organisers of the rally (see Shipley Harley Rally<\/a>) in getting all the necessary people involved so that the event could actually take place – no mean feat. The event itself was enjoyed by all. And then the clean-up took place. Fantastic! I have seen photos of the aftermath of the rally and they have made people wonder “Did it actually happen?”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A massive thank you to the organisers, the bikers, the people working, the volunteers, the businesses and the public. And the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the whole weekend is great fun we shouldn’t forget that one of the reasons for the rally is to be charitable. As usual toys, books, pens, pencils etc have been collected for the Children’s Ward at the BRI. In the past money has been donated to such things as a Youth Development fund and Riding for the Disabled. Keep an eye on the Shipley Harley Rally<\/a> website where I expect they will give an update on the charities involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
