This must have been a logistical nightmare Mike, I've never seen such resources used for a sport event, but fascinating to watch, and expertly captured by tour good self....Bob
@robmasterman It must have been exhausting for the motor cycle riders too as so much concentration is needed, travelling at such speed, through narrow roads with so much going on around you.They deserve much praise for their efforts!
@WoelkerVideo I use a Panasonic HS25 which strangely is not available in Panasonic shops but was through Currys stores and maybe still on line at Amazon.
Interestingly, at 5:08 you will note a rider holding the roundabout traffic as the official end of road closure vehicles come through; that's me! Not entirely sure who let public back on those roads, it certainly gave us a challenge getting the full race convoy back together!
Thanks for your interest, we appreciate the support.
@emmielie It was surprising to me too, but very interesting to watch! As we learn from other comments, the Police and other riders came from all around the country to take part. as they enjoy doing so. We seldom see Police in Watchet at other times!
@togreektown Hmm! I bow to your superior knowledge on the motorcycles Wayne! Hopefully the battle with my computer has now resulted in all three parts of the video now being visible in large widescreen!
@timetochill666 Glad to have let you see the event! It was certainly worth watching and really brought Watchet to life! It was enjoyed by everyone I met!
The best to the end, as always ;)
Thank you!
What a stormy day!

@maxar1 Nice to see you! Yes it looked as if the end of the Race vehicles had been held back somewhere along the line!

hallo Michael,
thank you for this vid about the "Watchet police motorcycle run".
it's interresting how much baggage train is necessary for so few bicycles.

Again Mike great coverage of the event.
Looking again at the passing motorcycles and at the cylinder config.
