I would like to thank everyone who participated. We had more than enough presents for the kids there. A few kids were not able to be there but we will make sure they receive gifts. I really appreciate everyone's involvement, especially on such short notice. You all really share the spirit of Christmas. You guys and gals amaze me each and every time we do things like this by going above and beyond. It makes me feel great to not only be a part of this club but to say I am your club president.

I apologize for the crappy weather. I wish we could have had more bikes. I'll work on trying to control the weather for next year or at least pick a drier day.
Thank you very much.

it was great to finally meet some of you guys. My family and i had a great time and it's nice to see a organization come together for the kids. Look forward to riding with you fellas/ladies and maybe a track day in the near warm future..

I would also like to thank everyone for their involvement, this means so much to these children and to see kids walk away with 2 & 3 gifts was awesome. I will not forget the look on one particular little girl's face when she walked away with two good sized presents in her little hands, she was so happy and that is A-Freaking-MAZING! Love it! Thanks guys and gals.

Event was great! Was nice seeing all the kiddos running around happy with their gifts. Was even fun passing the soccer ball around with them.

The ride was good despite my feet being soaked, and the one little :lol: moment on the way home.

Started to slowly accelerate as I changed lanes, to get a lane over from, and pass a semi. It being wet, I either over did the throttle, or caught a puddle. The back tire spun up and started to kick out sideways. :-o I was doing (caugh)70 mph(/caugh) the speed limit on I-20.

Sounds like a near failure of that right hand traction control technology you use.

That right hand traction control technoligy that I use, worked great. It took over, made adjustments, kept the bike in control, regained traction, and kept me from wrecking. :mad:
