Cornwall Blood Bikes Celebrate New BMW Models at Ocean BMW

Gathering at Ocean BMW Bikes, volunteers from Cornwall Blood Bikes were honoured guests at the unveiling of BMW’s latest motorcycle models: the F900GS/GSA, F800GS, and R12 Nine T. The event, hosted by Ocean BMW Motorrad, Falmouth, provided an opportunity for the volunteers to celebrate the enduring partnership that keeps their vital service operational.

Cornwall Blood Bikes, which operates a fleet of seventeen BMW motorcycles, relies heavily on the support of Ocean Motorrad’s team, including Andy, Chris, Dave, and mechanics Richie and Noah, under the guidance of their Fleet Manager, John. This collaboration ensures that the motorcycles are always ready to serve the community, highlighting the challenges and dedication required to maintain such an essential fleet.

The event was made even more special by the appearance of Roy, a respected member of the Cornwall Blood Bikes team. Having undergone extensive neck and spinal surgery earlier in the year, this marked Roy’s first outing in over five weeks, bringing joy and a sense of camaraderie among the volunteers. Attendees, some of whom travelled from as far as Launceston, shared smiles, handshakes, and laughter, reaffirming the strong sense of community within the group.

A highlight of the day was the opportunity to take a group photograph with 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 of their volunteers and their families, offering love and support and expressing hope for brighter days ahead.

The event underscored the importance of community and mutual support, not just in keeping the wheels of the Blood Bikes turning, but also in fostering a network of care and solidarity among those who give so much to help others.
