right guys,

just got back in...

given the great weather i guess there were between 2500 and 3000 bikers at the rally.





loads of people decorated their machines





Also i have used my Helmet Cam to record a bit of the run...i have not edited it - just condensed the 25 min to 10 to get it on youtube...

feel free to have a ride with me...

All in all a great event as every year and it feels great to be on a bike and run redlights etc...with the coppers watching!


thx Lars

Nice to see all those bikes in December with no Snow, for a good cause.

Thanks

We had our Santa's Sleigh Run Saturday, this year benefiting families of the local National Guard that have been in Iraq. It was 7 degrees when I got up, 15 when I left the house. About 80 riders figured that was not too cold for Santa, nor the Marines so we could tough it out to escort him to the Armory for dinner and toys with the families. Here Santa arrives at the dealership.

I was at the Toy Run on my Uly too. I didn't decorate it nearly as well as yours, Lars. I had a bit of tinsel on the bars... and a lot of mud from my ride in the morning.

I rode the bike for the first time the previous day so I wasn't entirely comfortable with it yet.

The Toy Run run is always a fun event.
