This Sunday, what has been described as the World's Largest Toy Run will take place in Broward County Florida. WE ordinarily get over 30,000 bikes to participate - it takes over 2 1/2 hours for the ride to be completed, WITH a police escort. Since its inception, the Biker Community participating in the Run has donated over $20 MILLION in toys and $11.5 MILLION in cash.

There will be at least 6 different bands and there's a scheduled appearance by Bret Michaels, formerly of Poison. There will be over 100 vendors.

Admission is one unwrapped toy and $10.00 cash per person.

The advance forecast looks as though the weather will be gorgeous - but as you all know, South Florida weather patterns can change at a moment's notice. I urge all of my R3Owners.net brothers in the Southeast Florida area to participate.

Here's the web site link: General Info

Thanks.
 
Great timing - my Rocket will take two weeks to ship here, and Ive been detailing the Ape to sell it! I might drive out to the park for the party, though. Btw, do you go to the Dania Vintage Bike show? I went a couple years ago, was a fun deal. Billy Joel showed up on a bike, and just wandered around like a regular schmoe.

When's the Dania vintage show?

I got to meet and talk to Billy Joel for a moment at last year's Dania Beach show.
