Maddog13407 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 local bar owner asked me to lead a parade of bikes this past weekened with my B61 on a Toy Run. the run was to raise money and collect toys for the kids of Schoharie County Ny along with Prattsville and other small towns that were devistated when hurricane Irene gave us all the rain here in Ny. entire towns were wiped out and many never returned after having to abandon their homes. seems like the government and FEMA diditn really do much. kinda went thru the motions but i hear people are still needing help.Anyways i lead the way on a 125 mile trip thru the flood zone, we stopped at a few bars along the way and ended up back at his bar for a big buffett dinner and drinks.everyone who signed up was asked to bring a toy for the kids. felt like a big sho being in the lead of over 100 Harleys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 That is pretty awesome I hope to have my Superliner at Relay for life here this year pulling a step deck used for a stage, I used my CH a few years back I dont see too many trucks being used for things like that anymore too many people worried about liability and old dirty trucks nobody seems to care but Im all for it, nice pic.

Maddog13407 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 actually a lot of people liked the truck in the lead. said it kept everyone in line and at a pace and not hotroddin the whole time plus they could see it un like ridin in a group and not knowin where the leader was and where the stops and roads were. had a few assholes pass me and time were were going 50 and sometimes 70 but all in all a good time.

1958 F.W.D. Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 WXTU, the country station in Philadelphia sponsors a "Toy Truck Parade" every year a few weeks before Christmas, we all get together with big trucks or small trucks, bring new and unwrapped toys, and line up at the sports stadium complex in South Philly, then parade up Interstate 95 to the Franklin Mills Mall just off the Woodhaven Road Exit of 95. It's a lot of fun and all the toys go to charity. One guy, who usually remains anonymous usually fills someone's antique pup trailer with bicycles and board games.
