There was 46,134 motorcycles.
00:05
That's police figures, that's official.
00:09
And hundreds of thousands of people,
00:11
literally every over bridge.
00:13
People were at service stations
00:15
and it was from the Ace Cafe
00:18
all the way to Barrow and Furness.
00:20
And my goodness, Barrow and Furness,
00:23
they were spectacular, opened their homes.
00:28
People were saying, "Oh guys,
00:29
if you've got nowhere to stay, we've got a spare room.
00:32
Here's the backyard, you can put your bike safely in there."
00:35
It was remarkable.
00:36
It took us from leaving the motorway,
00:40
we arrived in Barrow and Furness
00:42
and there was five hours before the last guys and girls
00:47
that were part of the cavalcade actually arrived in Barrow.
00:52
It took us five hours to park everybody up.
00:54
And then we had a party.
00:56
(laughing)
00:58
It was the most remarkable, overwhelming sense
01:04
of togetherness, of community, of kindness, of courtesy,
01:09
of all of the things that make human beings who we are.
01:14
And it was just remarkable in honor of my best friend
01:20
and Lily's husband.
01:23
And it was absolutely breathtaking, breathtaking.
