Motorcycle Riders Assoc. ACT Toy Run

Update: 8/12/12 - It was a perfect summers day...


After an absence I'll probably be posting a bit more soon...

Today was the Annual toy run for the ACT branch of The Motorcycle Rider's Association. Canberra turned out a beautiful clear summers morning for the ride from Old Parliament House out to Woden, returning Kings Avenue Bridge to the Carillon.

The run is in support of the work of the Salvation Army and hundreds of Canberra's motorcyclists turned out to enjoy the ride. I was hoping to get some better pictures today but alas never seemed to be in the right place having joined the packs end. Regardless.

We got there a bit late. This was about half way towards the end of the line on the old House of Reps entrance (bowling green side)...

A few Santas...


Assorted Harley Davidsons under the shady trees...


Oh! The bells... the bells......


Politicians speeches and competition draw...


Guns & Roses...


For the King the Law & the mob... 


One to scare the kiddies with...


A great morning.
