A nice thing you riders are doing
 

Sounds like it will be a very special ride. Wish I could be riding along too. Well done for your effort.

I'm based in Sydney and noticed our local SBS tv station will air the doco 'Dambusters Fly Again' on the Friday, 26 April 2013.

I'll be thinking of you - well done.

sounds interesting. keep in mind, that the floodwaves of the broken dams killed thousands of people... mostly civilian. what would happen if a german gang of motorcyclists would try to do such a thing for... lets say "the german heroes of coventry"? or "the american heroes of hiroshima"?
for me it sounds a bit ill-minded to celebrate such an event...
