Default Another toy run

hmm, got another call tonight for a toy run that is going to be run tomorrow at 1000hrs. Kinda last minute (2030hrs) Especially since the snow and ice is just a couple of issues. I said that it would be cool, so hopefully, the ice is gone by that time. I need to see what the morning brings me!

Yeah, I didn't go to the one in Chicago on Sunday because we had snow the day before and it was raining on Sunday, with it freezing on the ground. Probably not a good idea to ride either the ZX9 or the ST1300 in that...

Tuesday I rode the bike to storage before work. At noon it started snowing and we got 6 inches.

No... toy run on bikes - like Toys For Tots...

Typically the Chicago run has about 30,000 bikes. This year it was less, and I did not go because of the weather.

Very Cool! I really admire the good cause! we have something like that here but its mainly the HD/cruiser crowd so us guys on the sportbikes dont really fit in and they make sure of that!
