Volunteers from Cornwall Blood Bikes were esteemed guests at the unveiling of BMW’s latest motorcycle models: the F900GS/GSA, F800GS, and R12 Nine T, hosted at Ocean BMW Motorrad in Falmouth. The event served as a tribute to the enduring partnership between Cornwall Blood Bikes and Ocean Motorrad, emphasizing the crucial support that keeps the organization’s vital service operational.
Cornwall Blood Bikes, operating a fleet of seventeen BMW motorcycles, relies significantly on the unwavering support of Ocean Motorrad’s dedicated team, including Andy, Chris, Dave, and mechanics Richie and Noah, all working under the guidance of Fleet Manager John. This collaboration ensures the motorcycles are always prepared to serve the community, highlighting the challenges and dedication required to maintain such an essential fleet.
The event took on a special significance with the presence of Roy, a respected member of the Cornwall Blood Bikes team. Having recently undergone extensive neck and spinal surgery, this marked Roy’s first outing in over five weeks, fostering joy and camaraderie among the volunteers. Attendees, some traveling from as far as Launceston, shared smiles, handshakes, and laughter, reinforcing the strong sense of community within the group.
A poignant moment of the day was the group photograph featuring Roy, capturing the spirit of support and togetherness that defines Cornwall Blood Bikes. The organization also took a moment to acknowledge the challenges faced by some volunteers and their families, offering love and support while expressing hope for brighter days ahead.
The event underscored the significance of community and mutual support, not only in keeping the wheels of the Blood Bikes turning but also in fostering a network of care and solidarity among those who generously contribute to helping others.
