Title: ToyRun video - 450 bikes, toys = good time
Post by: mister on December 18, 2011, 04:25:08 AM
Some "on the ground" footage from our annual charity event as part of the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal. I estimate around 450 bikes all up. Good day...

Wow that is an awesome event! I just realized that you are the one with the youtube video with the in depth walk around the gs500. That video is one of the reasons I went with the gs500 instead of an older KAT. I could not be happier with my purchase. Keep making the videos. I love the Aussie culture. Everyone seems so nice and inviting. Why did that one fellow at 5 mins in think you were in jail?

He didn't think I was in jail. He said it because he knows me and he hasn't seen me since May when I did their poker run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBjp-7EHp8g and he was having a joke around. Sometimes the Aussie humor takes a little to get used to if you don't understand it.  :thumb: Try reading They're A Weird Mob (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They're_a_Weird_Mob) and you'll see a lot of our humor is English situational humor instead of the American one line insult humor - but - we also have our own twist on it too that can make it uniquely Australian.

Things like these we find funny...

Lano and Woodley show excerpts (around 10 min long each) are funny.

Also Swift & Shift Couriers to name a few things.

That was cool. Have you seen any from the Newcastle Toy run? Just curious as I wondered if I made it on video anyone's (Everything is about me :D).

We had a toy run in South Florida but it rained for most of the day. I did see on the news coverage of the event and a guy riding a GS500. would like to get intouch with him to tell him about our forum and go riding with. Not too many GSer's down here

I spotted four GSes while wondering about - but - the riders tended to also wonder so noone to chat to. Didn't have pen or paper with me to leave little notes either.
