Hundreds of Harley Davidson motorbikes caused quite a spectacle as they roared into Weymouth this weekend.

The New Forest Harley Owners Group (HOG) hosted its annual rally, with hundreds of bikers riding through the Dorset countryside before arriving at the Weymouth Pavilion.

Crowds of people gathered along the Esplanade to see the variety of bikes revving into the town.

The parade started outside Westfield Arts College before bikers revved through Preston, Osmington, Poxwell and many more before arriving in Weymouth.

Mayor of Weymouth and Portland, Cllr Christine James, helped with the judging of the events throughout the day and was even taken for a spin around the Pavilion.

The whole event was supported and marshalled by Dorset Police and raises money for Service by Emergency Rider Volunteers (SERV) and the British Association for Immediate Care (BASICS).

Robert Lewis and his partner Kate from Dorchester said they take part in the rally every year.

Robert said: "We all love our Harleys and we all have a passion for them.

"Today is a great cause which raises money for two brilliant charities.

"We all work hard in the week and love getting together after work to ride our bikes, especially in the beautiful Dorset countryside. Everyone is going to have a fantastic day today and the public are loving coming and having a nose."

SERV Wessex is a charity that provides a free out of hours transportation service for NHS Hospitals in their area, 365 days per year, between 7pm and 6am weekday evenings and 24hrs a day at weekends and on public holidays.

It transports blood products and other urgent consignments allowing hospitals to divert financial and staff resources elsewhere.

The aims of BASICS is to foster co-operation between existing schemes, encourage and aid the formation and extension of schemes in the UK, strengthen and develop co-operation between all services in dealing with emergencies on any scale which may result in injury or risk to life, encourage and assist research into all aspects of immediate care and accident prevention and raise standards of immediate care and training in all those who undertake to practise the discipline.

Justin Moors, communications officer at HOG who helped with the organising of the event said the day had been a huge success.
