Harleys and helping others

A passion for motorbikes and making a difference. Ryecast meets Mags Ivatts

Harleys and helping others

Mags Ivatts loves her Harley-Davidson motorbike. Really loves it. The bike is called Harold and is decorated with drawings featuring the Battle of Hastings and designs from the Bayeux Tapestry. She is the latest local to be featured on the Ryecast podcast, telling me about her travels across Europe from her home in Rye. “It’s a famous bike and I’m never going to part with it. The designs represent the area that I come from.”

Mags moved to Rye after many years living and working in Hastings. She's heavily involved in the Rye Foodbank which she says has helped thousands of people. “When we started it, it wasn't like it is now. It was just me and three grandmas and we were lucky to see ten people a week. That’s now changed and many more people rely on it. The generosity of this community is absolutely breathtaking.”

You can hear more about Mags, including her time at Greenham Common, by searching for Ryecast or by clicking here https://podfollow.com/ryecast
