Fred had been against the imposition of the mandatory crash helmet law when I was introduced in the UK in 1973.
He was imprisoned several times for failure to comply and for refusing to pay the fines imposed by the courts.
He died in Pentonville in London in February 1984.
The run was cancelled for the first time in many years due to the possible danger from 80mph winds care of Storm Ciara battering the UK and the South-East currently.
It was a blessing in disguise for me as the bike has no MoT and can't be legally ridden on the road.
I have been several times and once actually led the group from the Ace Café to Pentonville.
The new date is March 1st.
This appears to be the only picture of Fred astride his Honda with the copper close by.
