Upwards of 300 Bikers <Male and Female>on the Three Amigos Christmas run,on behalf of the sick and disadvantaged children of the county,they start in Pembroke, and ride from town to town collecting more Bikers as they go..They deliver presents at this time of year,and chocolate eggs at Easter,to Hospitals and homes in the County...Thanks Guys.

I love to see this sort of thing. We saw hundreds of bikers on the freeway in Texas (near Dallas) a couple of years ago right around Christmas. Same sort of charity run.
My husband rides (I simply cling to him for dear life!) and he's not such a bad guy. :)

@Les: I dont like cars,I much prefer bikes,but my old joints make getting on and off impossible these days,we have been toying with the idea of a trike though..Some old friends of ours were on the ride yesterday,so maybe theres hope for us yet. :>)

What a wonderful thing to do. I can imagine the roar of the bikes and this time bringing good cheer and gifts. Thanks for sharing this Jeff. Gives one a warm and fuzzy feeling.

We see similar rides here in Florida; the last we saw was in support of a young serviceman who lost his life in Iraq. Bikers showed up from all over the state ... hundreds of the.
This is a good shot, Jeff, and a fine reminder!

They just had their 'toys for tots' ride here and it isn't the 'normal joe schmos' (for the want of a better word) bikers in the parade but those burly bikers too riding together for toys for the kids..
