Toy Run 2006

If I've gotten my elk by then, we're in... on 4 wheels. If no elk, I'll be walking around in the woods trying to make Estes Park a safer place.

Unlike last year where I had no bike, this year I am IN. I will probably drag my 3 coworkers out there as well, although I can't speak for their cold-weather aptitude. See Ya!!!

There are certain among us who have already objected to it, but I'm probably in.

What is there to object to?!?
You get to:
-hang out with a bunch of bikes;
-wave at the cops who are stopping traffic for you;
-wave like an idiot at all the people who are stopped by the cops and should be pissed but are actually thrilled;
-strap the largest teddy bear you can find to the back of your bike and have a good excuse for it;
-wake up early; OOOHHH, that's where one of the complaints is probably coming from.

Don't forget you get to freeze your knackers off too.

It was in the 60’s three years ago…we had lunch on the patio at Breck’s. Time for it to be warm again for this event.

[towneh]

note to self...
1. buy a couple of teddy bears and/or stuffed critters
2. fully fuel the "Exxon Valdez" busa
3. gather cold weather articles like neck gaiter, fleece top and bottom, lobster gloves, and the like
--tis the season--

SOB!! I just realized this is this weekend and not next, Dave and I will be (with a few others) up in Keystone for the weekend snowboarding! damn.

[Kim-n-Dean]

As cool as a giant teddy bear is strapped to your bike, EVERY Hardley rider has just that. We always get things like DVD and CD players and whatever movies are popular at this time. Don't be UN-creative and strap a giant teddy bear on your bike, like the beer belly Hardley's.

I would also think that the kids are pretty tired of stuffed animals because sooooo many people bring only that...

[AshliRider44]

2 years ago when Dave and I did this, I must say when the kids were outside and upstairs in the hospital they were grabbing the video games and DVD's we brought and not paying attention to the stuffed animals other people brought upstairs give them what they want!!

Hope this ain't true:

Looks like I'll have to put a few screws in the new Dunlops.

Remember: If the weather sucks, drive your cage instead! While it is a bike event, crappy weather shouldn't preclude you from going by whatever means necessary to accomplish the goal. If you're going to wuss out either way (and you know who you are), we're probably caging it and can deliver in bulk if you can get gifts to me before Sunday.

[DevilsTonic]

I noticed that as well!! Looks like it's gonna be a cold (possibly wet) ride. I'll be wearing every piece of clothing I have!

Is your XR200 even street-legal?

[Feathered upstart!]

She can ride the MV

obviously not genius, but the WR450 is... sheesh...
You do realize we still have an SV in the garage.... not ours but its in the garage

[AshliRider44]

Awwwwwwwwwwwww

[Devaclis]

Welp, 2 bad fork seals after riding last night. Looks like a no go for me. Plus I may have to work until about 10

[Spiderman]

Nice!

but the WR450 is... sheesh...

And this should be common knowledge on a sportbike forum because...?

You do realize we still have an SV in the garage.... not ours but its in the garage

I forgot about that! Nice!!!

[towneh]

Regarding the popularity of dvd's and/or personal video games at the toy ride.... That's true but there is still a need for the average teddy bear...

On occaision, I work with several groups that do service at the R_McDonalds House. The little "customers" that stay for a bit don't have a lot of anything except for fear and uncertainty. For the little crowd that are hurting, the stuffed critters offer them some consolation. Believe me, nothing goes to waste.

Sooooo, bring it over and we'll fix it!!!!!

[rybo]

Dean,

He doesn't want to fix it, he wants to graft a 929 or RC front end onto it!

[sprtbkbabe]

Last minute plans have me in the mountains this weekend, so looks like I'll be running the T4T next weekend with the Mini Coopers just like last year.

If anyone finds that they can't make it this Sun and you have some goodies to give to the kiddies, let me know and I'm happy to throw them in the boot for Sun the 10th's run
