Hi gary it's nothing to do with the Guinness rules we are trying to raise money for Jess to give to the children's charity before Jess passes as its her dying wish to raise as much as she can so children don't have to go through what she has had to go through,it's the organisers (me) who is asking for the £5 donation. Hope this answers your question thanks Akko .

 

Hi dougie if you go on google put in help Jessica Simpkin it will take you to her just giving page. Thanks for your support mate . Just to reassure everyone the money raised by the record attempt 100 percent goes to the children's charity all the cost for road closer advertising marshals etc have been done free of charge at no cost whatsoever . The BBC are making a documentary about Jessica's brave fight . They will be filming the record attempt once again Dougie thanks for your support . Akko

 

Tell you what if it upsets you that much I'll talk to the team and see if we can change it so it's not compulsory , I'm sure they will understand , I did not start this to upset anyone just trying to help a young lady who wants to help others . Nobody is getting anything out of this apart from the brain tumour charity which could effect anyone , sorry if this has offended anyone . Akko

 

Thanks for that Bob . Hope to see you there if you do hunt me down I'm the one with the yellow tiger 800 . Akko

 

Ok gary I take your point , it's something I did not think about a mistake on my part , I've had a quick word with two of the committee members who don't want to change things , we won't be having a full meeting till a week on Thursday but I will bring it up as promise . The problem is they are not bikers like me and you . The world record attempt it's as important as it is raising money for Jess as she will be remembered for breaking the record . So this is a honest request to anyone who objects to the compulsory donation , please send me your details and I will register you free of charge , the charity will not miss out as I will pay it for anyone willing to attend ,because I feel it's my fault for this error please attend if you can as its a once in a life time event this is a sincere request to my fellow bikers . Akko

 

Will do gary but !!!! Question !!!! If I can persuade the committee to agree . You valid point would you come . Because you could be that rider that helps us get the record . This is a team effort as with out each and every rider it just could not be possible . My personal goal know is to persuade you to come an join us , so please think about it . Also as you have said others may be put off by my oversight . I really would like to meet you at this event . Many thanks Akko

 

Hi ade many thanks for the donation for Jess you are a star , when l started this 6 months ago it was my intention to include all bikers . By asking every one to visit a post box and make a donation , I contacted Kevin Wilcox at Staffordshire road safety who organised the original attempt who advised me it could not be done as the rules for Guinness are so strict . So he offered his help along with Bob from Stafford triumph . It's taken us that long to get this far and a lot of help from some very nice people including the mayor of Mansfield who I hope will be starting us off . Anyway once again ade a great big thanks please tell anyone you see on a triumph to visit the site as for every one you can get to help us it will get us to our goal and you will have been part of our team all the best .
