We previously shared Wrawby Hall Care Centre’s request for bikers in the local area to help them make a former professional rider’s wish to see as many different bikes as possible come true.
Peter Kirkby is a resident at the Care Centre and used to ride professionally on off road trails bikes. He owned a 1959 Matchless 650 Sports Twin.
It is estimated that over 4,000 bikes rode past the care home in Wraby, near Brigg, in about an hour, while emotional Mr Kirkby watched in disbelief and was thrilled by the bikes passing and the number of people that turned up.
