Nice touch riding around with their headlights on, just like their day job.

Not yet, and I have happily made my donation. I've never been a huge fan of them, but I think this is a cracking idea.

But

sadly this could be the Reds after SDSR

Kitbag. Those virtual engineers need to be told to put some more virtual air into those virtual tyres!

Ok, having a female in the Red Arrows is fair enough - but on a bike? That's just too far.

A great effort and I hope it raises shedloads.
But,but,but! Vespas? Why not something British, like Bonnevilles. Far more impressive, they could have had beaut red fairings and shown off a home-grown product.
Before anyone mentions 'our lass,' I'm sure if she can handle a fighter, she would be very comfortable on a Bonnie!

Why Vespas? Perhaps because they were prepared to sponsor the Reds, whereas Bonnies weren't.

Vespa with roundels? A bit 1960s, surely?

That last picture looks like something out of Quadrophenia....

We are the Reds, we are the Reds
we are, we are, we are the Reds!
