Title: Toy runs
Post by: dbNnc on December 03, 2005, 07:47:07 PM
I went on a toy run this morning and another Nov. 19. I thought they would be more like parades at about 20 mph. Instead, they were 25-mile rides through the country. What a blast going 75 mph with a sheriff's escort. :)

Below are a couple of photos from the Nov. 19 event at J&E Harley Davidson in Winterville, N.C. My yellow GS500F and I are on the front row.

The photographer estimated 700 or so bikes.

I showed the woman on the Softtail in the bottom right of the top photo (gray jacket) my GS and she said, "I'd like to get a sportbike." So there: The GS500F is a sportbike. :)

The guy in the red-and-black jacket rode the RC-51 diagonally behind mine. He said he never got out of third gear.

He is the one with the "Please don't kick my ass" sticker on the back of his riding jacket.  :lol:
