G.B.N.F - 2nd Memory Run for Lost French Brothers.

GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.

THESE FOUR WORDS TOOK ALL THEIR MEANING AS WE GATHERED IN GRASSE CHAPTER ON SATURDAY 19 MAY FOR THE 2ND MEMORY RUN IN HONOR OF OUR LOST BROTHERS.

OVER THE LAST 23 YEARS WE HAVE LOST 5 BROTHERS IN FRANCE: BANDIDO DENIS 1%ER, BANDIDO BUBU 1%ER, BANDIDO WITNESS 1%ER, BANDIDO PHIL 1%ER AND BANDIDO FABIO.
WHILE THEY ARE PRESENT IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS EVERYDAY, WE DO HONOR THEIR MEMORY IN A FORMAL MANNER ONCE A YEAR.









LAST YEAR WE HELD THE MEMORY RUN IN MARSEILLE CHAPTER, THIS YEAR WE HAD THE HONOR TO ORGANIZE IT IN GRASSE.

BROTHERS FROM ALL OVER EUROPE STARTED TO ARRIVE AT THE CLUBHOUSE FROM MID-WEEK, SOME TRAVELING ON THEIR BIKES FROM AS FAR AS FINLAND, A TRUE SIGN OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE EVENT FOR ALL BANDIDOS.

BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON ALL BANDIDOS FROM FRANCE, BANDIDOS FROM EACH EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, SUPPORT CLUBS, SUPPORTS AND FRIENDS HAD GATHERED AT THE CLUBHOUSE.









WE STARTED THE RUN FROM OUR CLUBHOUSE UNDER A SUNNY SKY AT 4PM ON SATURDAY, MORE THAN 100 BIKES PARTICIPATED, IT WAS A SPECTACULAR VIEW! WE RODE IN CONVOY FOR ABOUT 25KM TO THE SEA SIDE WHERE WE ALL PARKED.
IN AN EMOTIONAL MOMENT WE GATHERED ON A BRIDGE AND LAID RED & GOLD ROSES TO THE SEA WHILE EACH OF US HAD MEMORIES OF OUR LOST BROTHERS FLOWING THROUGH OUR MINDS.
IT WAS A REALLY SPECIAL TIME.

AFTER A WHILE WE ALL RODE BACK TO THE CLUBHOUSE WHERE FOOD WAS SERVED,
IT WAS THEN TIME FOR A PARTY IN THE TRADITIONAL BANDIDO WAY !
THE NEXT DAY MOST BROTHERS WERE BACK ON THE ROAD RIDING BACK HOME, UNFORTUNATELY MAINLY UNDER THE RAIN









WE WANT TO THANK ALL OUR BROTHERS WHO PARTICIPATED, ALL OF YOU MADE THIS A VERY SPECIAL DAY.
REMEMBERING OUR LOST BROTHERS, KNOWING WHERE WE COME FROM IS ALSO WHAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE, BANDIDOS !

IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE AND AN HONOR TO ORGANIZE THIS RUN.

LOVE, LOYALTY & RESPECT
BANDIDOS MC FRANCE
