Legit by all accounts and a fastball to organise.

This is from Rachel at the BMF: (British motorcycle federation)

FRIDAY 21st DECEMBER 2008 -

We have been approached by The Make a Wish Foundation (MaWF). This is an organisation that asks terminally ill children what they would wish for and then tries to deliver.

They have been asked by Jack, a six year old, if he could have some motorcycles ride past his bedroom window. He can not go out and is unlikely to see in the New Year. The BMF has been asked to help.

West London Harley are involved and we are liaising with them.

The BMF Chairman, Anna Zee, will be taking part, together with as many volunteers as we can muster.

The ride will meet at The Farnham Pump on the Farnham Rd, Farnham Royal, Slough, Berkshire, SL2 3AS (This is the A355) on Friday 21st December at 4.30pm. Fancy dress will bring an added smile if anyone can muster something up at this late stage. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MEETING POINT STILL HAS TO BE CONFIRMED- WATCH THIS SPACE.

With best wishes
Rachel
BMF Membership Manager

If you're feeling charitable and think you might wish to squeeze in a last ride before the year is out, heres the perfect opportunity.

More info if I get any, or give Rachel a bell I guess?!

Trying to find out more info on this btw..
The date doesnt match for starters, although the source of the email/info is legit and I dont doubt it to be real

It looks as though it should be 2007 not 2008 - probably a typo

But

a) strange to organise it on a day and at a time when most of us are at work

b) strange to be meeting up for a ride-past just in time to hit a Friday night rush hour

I did think that too
although maybe 4.30 is when the lad goes to bed or something

cannot find anything on here either:

It is a typo, I have been reliably informed.

The meeting point IS in the first post on here.

'The ride will meet at The Farnham Pump on the Farnham Rd, Farnham Royal, Slough, Berkshire, SL2 3AS (This is the A355) on Friday 21st December at 4.30pm.

The bit on the GS site about confirmation says ->

"Just got off the phone from Rachel the BMF Membership Manager.

Yup, all go, and she's asked me to confirm that the meeting point is as stated in the first post-
