Andy and Carl started their trip round the world today. Firstly they met some friends at Cafe Racer and Speed Demon and had their last decent cooked brekfast for some time courtesy of Ian and Sarah.

Then about 10.00am a large group of bikers and some cars left for Hard Rock Cafe Manchester.  On arrival they were greeted by Hard Rock Sales &  Marketing Manager Emma Livingstone seen in the photo above. More drinks were consumed tea and coffee of course supplied by Hard Rock and and don't forget the sticky buns (yum yum).

At about 11.30am Carl and Andy left us all in the pub and set out on their adventure.
