Eastern Iowa Toys For Tots Ride

[4WARND]

Lets see if we can get a V-max presence felt here this year.

It is a police escorted M/C parade for a great cause. The ride snakes through Davenport, IA for about a 1/2 hour ride stopping all traffic along the way. Usually a strong showing of bikes and a great place to meet and greet. I'd like to plan for some of us to meet up for this then ride-on to whatever we choose.

Any interest?

Weather permitting I will be there... That means warm enough to keep my nipples from cutting glass...:whistlin:

I plan on meeting up as well. My rugby game was cancelled, so I should be able to meet up anytime. I also got an e-mail from a guy about a dirt flat-track race in Walnut, IL. Would you guys be up for a ride there? Here is the link: http://www.sunsetridgemx.com/

Hope to see you tomorrow.

Thanks for getting this organized... it was great meeting everyone. I hope we can get in another group ride or two in before the white stuff falls.

Nathan may have tweaked his neck a little dodging a pigeon, but a great ride overall.

Thanks again!

Oh, and I didn't notice the heat....????

Here are just a few of the QC area V-Maxes from the ride. A few others parked elsewhere or had to leave early. There were a total of 11 Vmaxes for the ride. Not bad for an event of about 3000 bikes or so.

First and second shots are the original meet-up group at 4gasem's, last is the arrival lineup of the majority in the ride.

BTW, the guy grabbing his butt was riding the M109R with our group:hmmm:, nice guy though.

Thanks for helping to make a strong VMOA/VMF showing. I think we did end up recruiting at least 2 or 3 more:eusa_dance:.

I hadn't heard that... WOW! Didn't seem that high but great!

We're going to Cordova this Friday incase your looking for something to do... I will be bikeless as I am taking my 5 year old nephew!:thumbs up:

 

[4WARND]

My mistake, the most recent estimate I read was between 1000 and 1500. I too thought 3000 sounded high when I read it but figured there was an official count they were going off of. Anyway, here are some publicly posted pics from the event. http://www.qccruz-news.com/2007 images/toys_4_tots_07.htm

Well, I'm trying to get off work in time to take my Cobra to Cordova on Saturday, so I don't think I'll be going Friday night. Have Fun and be careful!
