Just back. Around 1000 bikes attended. Over £5000 raised for the charity. We won't know about the record for a week or so. Guinness took a video of everyone leaving, now they need to verify. They must have motorcycle experts on tap.
This is a short clip from the back of someone's bike.

Well done, charity is always worth the effort.
About 5 years ago we did something similar here in Holland, but we went for a maximum possible number of bikes of the same make and type: Honda CBR.... ;D
By coincidence I'm wearing the shirt today, I'll take a pic, and will try to find another pic of the event.
By the way, MY CBR1000F was the oldest of the whole assembly (they checked the license papers!)
I'm still riding it
Financially it was a success, but we never made it into "the great book"although we managed to assemble over 500 CBR's for the ride.

A phone video of the start of the run. It took 10 minutes for all the bikes to leave.

Update.

"It depends on Guinness because we had 28 different makes and 183 models. Whether they accept this is out of our hands and may take 2 months for Guinness to come back."
