'Light surprise' for Charmouth & Lyme Regis
Plans are coming together for a spectacular light parade of Honda Goldwing motorcycles around Charmouth and Lyme Regis during the evening of Friday 11th May. Working with local officials and the police members of the Wessex region of the Goldwing Owners Club of Great Britain are organizing the Parade as part of a rally for their region’s 27th birthday celebrations. Normally only the usual road lights of white, red and amber are permitted to be shown on vehicles but by organising a special parade the Club is able to show off an amazing array of lights which can only be seen in off road situations.

“I can assure the public that they are unlikely ever to have seen motorcycles lit up in the way some of our members have achieved. There are some very clever guys out there who have gone to great lengths to illuminate their bikes despite the fact that they can usually only be seen in off road situations. Some have even managed to light up their riding gear. I think we can surprise people.” |
The parade will start from Newlands at 9pm and proceed through Charmouth on to the A35, turning left towards Lyme Regis where it will proceed back through Charmouth to Newlands. Rex & Jackie Ireland of Newlands will then judge the best lit bike. The Rally is being held at the Newlands Holiday Camp in Charmouth over the weekend of 11th to 13th May at which Goldwing owners from all over Britain are expected to attend. Apart from the social occasion and a chance to explore the area there will be a more serious side to the weekend as members will be raising funds for Weldmar Hospicecare Trust and the Air Ambulance. |
