    It's the cruiser so I'm a fag anyway. :eek: I wouldn't let bows anywhere near the Interceptor. There's a charity rally tomorrow for Santa Cops. Everyone brings a toy to donate and there's a 10mile police escorted parade route. This is the 4th year they've done it, my 1st. So I figured for fun I'd throw a couple Christmas bows on there.

    My folks don't do presents any longer. They ask us kids to make a charity donation rather than buy presents for them. So, instead of just bringing the one toy for the charity, I went on a shopping spree buying up over a half dozen toys with spare batteries (hence the cardboard box strapped to the back). Good times! That was probably the most fun I had Christmas shopping this year. If I score pictures at the event tomorrow, I'll link them up.

    Yep, I did my 1st toy run on Wednesday night. 90% stunters, chromed out gixxers and stretched busa's. So, what if those guys head's aren't in the right place... at least their Hearts are. (...and sooner or later so are their livers, kidneys, lungs, etc...) Must have been close to 300 bikes there. They nearly got a 28' box van full of toys from top to bottom.

    Tinkerin - I am just glad you finally washed your bike.( the OCD in me ).

    That is a great pic of a great bike off to do something great for some kids. Good job.
    :thumbsup:

    P.S. thanks for remembering the batteries!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Billy - Thanks for doing your part as well. Nothing but respect for ya.

    I fel bad for little boys and girls that don't get a christmas.

    Me and my wife do not celebrate any holiday with gifts, but its not because of any religious weirdness, we are just methodical in our purchasing and have made that agreement ( hence we both have bikes and stuff, holiday / birthday spending would have killed that dream ). My daughter, however, we get our enjoyment by doing our best to spoil her on those days.
    I was raised very poor, but I never felt poor on christmas, and I am happy when I hear about all the biker toy runs each year. Someday I will do the same.
    Kudos, gentlemen.

    The wife and I at the bike rally

    Still wearing a dam MX helmet but we finally upgraded the wife to an appropriate brain bucket instead of that blue MX helmet she was wearing.

    This picture shows how long the parade was. Bikes as far as that traffic signal light on the horizon. We were about 2/3-3/4 of the way toward the rear so there are many more behind us.

    And this one is just to show the snow covered Rocky Mountains in the background

    Looks to me that a bow is only a foot or two away from the interceptor (assuming you have one on the other bag)...I would consider that somewhere near it...:biggrin:

    Good on ya for supporting a great cause, Tink. :thumbsup:

    Our church has an 'angel tree' every Dec. Each angel represents a local child or teen and what they need/want for Christmas. We always take at least 2 angels off the tree, do the shopping and get the gifts back to the church for distribution. :cool:

    I took my headers to the shop that does all the work on my car to have the cats removed. when he called and said they were ready I asked "how much?" He said, "just bring some toys for our toy drive we're have at the shop." I bought a bunch of toys. some needy kids got xmas presents and my viffer got the cats removed...great deal all around!

    The kids that get the toys don't care about your sexual preference! LOL. Your heart is in the right place!
    Merry Christmas to you and your wife!
