Toy run - Central Districts Motorcycle Touring Club (5 Dec 2009)

[Beemer]

Saturday 5 December 2009

Central Districts Motorcycle Touring Club Inc annual Toy Run for Barnardos.

Leaving Feilding Town Square at 1pm, for a back roads ride to Palmerston North. Please bring Christmas gifts of children's toys or books to donate to Barnardos.

There will be a sausage sizzle and social gathering at the end of the ride and toy run badges will be on sale.

This ride is open to everyone so bring your mates along. Last year we had about 100 bikes so this run is well supported. Let's see if we can make this year even bigger and better!

It is aimed at everybody having a good time so do come and join in the fun.

Fancy dress is recommended to embody the true spirit of the day :yes:
and so we can take the mickey out of each other too:lol:

I plan to be attired as Santa's little helper and take lots of pics and employ the laxed out approach on the pillion seat and let somebody else do the hard work :lol:

My bike likes the three points speed far too much :sunny: and after the run this weekend will deserve a little snooozeee :ride:

[Beemer]

I may or may not be there - depending on whether I can drive or not - had a wee tumble down the stairs as I was about to interview the mayor last Friday and got a free ambulance ride to hospital! Can't use my left hand at the moment so stuck at home!

I plan to be in Feilding today for the toy run, also hope to see you tomorrow Red.
2 ride in 2 days - sweet. :cool:

[banditrider]

Sun is out, looking good for the ride!

[Beemer]

Have fun everyone - it still hurts to use my left hand so I may not make it. Can't get gloves or boots on so can't go on the back of the other half's bike, and although the Vette is automatic, even holding the steering wheel may be beyond me. I'll give it a try, but may have to give it a miss for the first time.

Great day for it - don't forget some sunscreen if you're standing around before or after the ride, it feels like it's going to be a scorcher.

[Beemer]

Thanks to all those who turned up with a toy and made this another great day - not sure of the final count but looks like a similar turn-out to last year.

An item of ladies jewellery was found in the area where the bikes were parked in Feilding prior to the ride starting. If anyone can describe it accurately, we are more than happy to return it to you. PM me with the details.

[86GSXR]

Nice run. Good to catch up with a few ppl and drop a toy in the basket for a very worthy cause :yes:

[chanceyy]

Was a great day & run for sure .. awesome to catch up with the usual suspects and to see a few from roads afar (steve)

then to finish the day a wee flick with Bren Al & Richard to show them Ballance, nice hot choccy & great wee run home until .......








Opiki turn off ..






A ute & car behind him coming over railway line & waiting to turn south :yes:.. I knew ute had seen us & turned into the correct lane so he could merge in & thought shit that car has not seen us, & he will prob drop into my lane .. :2guns: sure enough he did, :eek: was already braking blardy hard & hand on horn dunna think the old fella realised what he did or even aware he almost caused an off, anyhow blatted past his drivers window & gave him the proverbial, :finger: a harley rider who joined us also did the same & bless Bren he also gave him the :finger:.. bit of a close call really :sweatdrop... BB's brakes working awesomely:clap: . I think I need a stronger horn though :whistle:

[Bren]

Yup was a good run...I thoroughly enjoyed today...Although has been a long hard ride today...final speedo reading 469KM...

Left Otaki at 8.30 and met up with Richard (HapyGOriding) at BP...then down to the Hutt t pick up Kelvan (Azi)...from there we went up to Masterton where we picked up toys (and one of us almost dropped a bike) and across the Paihiatua track to get to Fielding at 1pm....actually got there at 12.55...Great run along roads I have never been on...Geat to see some of the old faces, and great to share a coffee with good friends...

Bloody old drivers though....(Read Chanceys thread above)...farkin a danger to us all!!!! Thats my only gripe....but he got the salute times three....almost got a door kicked in too...!

Good to see the weather played ball again - not too hot and little wind.

[Little Smurf]

Hey some nice pics there lad :yes:

It was a great day, the weather played ball it was prefect riding weather. An abundance of toys for Bernardos and a bunch of sausages were cooked. It was great to see some regular faces who come on the annual ride and good to some some mates who I haven't seen for a while :)

All n all a fantastic day :banana:
