THEY have been a huge hit practically since they were founded and the Yes Bikers were once again much in evidence at the All Under One Banner march in Edinburgh last weekend.
When they form up and let out the throttles you can hear the roar of the Yes Bikers for miles around and as they are always a colourful group, the sight and sound of the Bikers is enough to inspire a whole generation of pro-independence supporters.
Indeed it looks as though they have already found the next generation of Yes Bikers. In the latest Sunday National there was a charming picture of two young brothers who had taken part in the march.
Proud dad David Greenhill wrote to tell us: “Thank you for printing the picture in the Sunday National of our two boys Jan-Duncan and Jonasz-Darach at the AUOB march on Saturday in Edinburgh.
“We all had a great time and it inspired Jan-Duncan to ‘pimp your bike for school’. He wanted a motorbike like the Yes Bikers.”
Looks like a good job was done on Jan-Duncan’s bike and though it might be a few years before he can get one with a real engine, we look forward to him appearing as a Yes Biker – maybe in a parade to mark the 10th anniversary of independence?
We are always on the lookout for your stories and pictures from Yes events and if you have a tale to tell us about your family or Yes group please e-mail words and pictures to community@thenational.scot just as soon as you can.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
