Yep, I'd say you are ready! You did see the video of the biker taking out the deer crossing the road right? Have fun.

Oh ya I did. :rofl_200:

There must've been at least 1000 bikes. 520 from the mall to US1 was blocked off. US1 from 520 to Post (both north and south bound lanes) blocked off. Felt sorry for those with the misfortune of being in the North bound lane who had no other choice, then to park their vehicles and wave to the pack. Lots of fun. Hey "free" beer and music at the end of the run--can't go wrong with thatunk:

So apparently I underestimated the turnout. Over 5,000 bikers cruised down 520 and US1. Be sure to click the two vids under the summary article. http://www.floridatoday.com/article/20111204/BREAKINGNEWS/111204005/Organizer-5-225-motorcycles-participate-30th-annual-Toy-Run?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|Local%20News
