Below is a quote from Alan of Blood bikes on the handover of our bike, Octagon, to the Emergency services museum,
Today we retired Octagon, (centre of the photograph with the three bikes), from active service and our volunteers almost had a tear in their eyes.
While Octagon may be retiring for active service she is going to be an ambassador for Northumbria Blood Bikes and NABB at the National Emergency Services Museum in Sheffield.
In addition we have also been invited to the opening of this new exhibition and Blood Bike Volunteers will get in for free any time of the year (just need to show ID cards).
Here’s a bit of Octagon’s history:
Our second bloodbike, a 2007 Honda Pan European.
Bought second hand, in October 2013, with around 6000 miles on the clock.
This purchase became a possibility when MGNorthumbria, (some of whom are in the photographs of her retirement), made a very generous donation to Northumbria Blood Bikes. In recognition of their generosity MG Northumbria were given the opportunity to choose a call sign for the bike. The bike is known as "Octagon".

A message from John Mitchell
My mini fleet (!) of old vehicles (four) all have reproduction tax discs displaying the very first 12-month disc each would have been given when new.
There are several organisations providing this service and I used Creative Tax Discs who have been excellent. I have attached their leaflet which you may wish to include in your Newsletter but fully understand if too large or inappropriate.The application form should be completed carefully to ensure the correct expiry date of the disc,. i.e.12 months after the vehicle was first registered.
Hope this is helpful.
Kind regards,John (Mitchell)
