Didn't know about this.

While the efforts and motivation of these riders are eminently laudable, I find it appalling that such a vital service has to depend on volunteers.

Indeed - I'd heard of the blood-run bikes but not this service.

is all to do with the government, inland revenue laws on charities.....
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Interesting, not sure the Falco's ideally suited to that job. The hours I do could suit that though.
