Time again for the
Toys for Tots Parade here in Chicago. For those of you that don't know this is one of the, if not THE largest Toy Run's in the country.... numbers vary of course due to our lovely Midwestern winters, last year was nothing short of horrific with the high only hitting about 20 and it snowing but close to 10,000 bikes still showed. Year before that it was sunny and almost 50 out and the count came in at around 45,000 bikes. I know I almost bailed last year as I had to get down my alley at slightly less than idle speed with both legs acting as outriggers so I wouldn't dump it due to alley resembling something more to a hockey rink than a street but once on the "main" roads it was oh so nice to hear the crunching sounds of rock salt under the tires, hehehe.
Anyway would be great to hook up with some of the locals so I alone don't have to answer the myriad of inquiries about the Triumph line of motorcycles from the bazillions of Hog riders. Oh and hey, if any out of towners would like to participate I have a spare bedroom for those that might want to ride or trailer it in the day before.
Alrighty, who's in (and who won't bail on me like last year because of a little frozen substance on the ground, hehehe)?
