T'is the Season to be Jolly, and nothing will make you more jolly then participating in a toy run on your motorcycle with hundreds of other generous bikers. There are tens of thousands of kids out there who will not know the excitement of opening a new toy this Holiday Season without a little help from others. And who better to help than the motorcycle community, one of the most giving groups around. There are a variety of reasons why these children need our help; some come from poverty strickened families, some have no family at all, and others are spending their Holiday in the hospital, and for many of them it is one of many Holidays they will spend in the hospital. Yes these are tough times for many of us, but it doesn't take much to bring a smile to the face of these kids. Nothing beats the excitement on a child's face when hundreds of leather-clad bikers show up with hundreds of toys! I have participated in many Toy Runs, and the enjoyment never wears off. Whether you have participated in a toy run before, or this is your first year, here are a couple of tips to help you out. Pick A Toy Run - Once you have picked a Toy Run to participate in, do a little research about who the toys will be for. Many times, runs will focus on a certain age group of children that are in need. Once you have identified the age range of the children, query whether this particular organization has any particular wants or needs requested. If not, go and have fun shopping! Keep in mind that stuffed animals are usually plentiful at these runs, think outside the box and find activity games, board games, action figures, video games, etc. Every year we do a couple runs to the local Children's Hospital. They actually request items that can be sanitized by wiping and stuffed animals are not the most desirable toy in that instance! Getting ready for the Toy Run - Of course, make sure your bike is in excellent mechanical condition. Make sure all your riding gear is ready as well. Next you need to figure out how and where to carry your toy. After a few toy runs you will see some very creative people out there! Toys can obviously always be put in saddle bags, however if they do not fit there or you do not have them, you have a unique problem. I have see many people bungee toys to a luggage rack, front of the bike or even in the passenger seat. Whatever you do, make sure wherever you mount the toy, that it is secure and safe for you to operate your bike. Remember why all the bikers are at that ride...it is for the kids! The kids truly love seeing all the bikes and the bikers. Being in the motorcycle community, I am proud to say I ride with some of the most kind and caring people in the world. Thank you bikers for all that you do...have a great time and ride safe! 
With all those tubes and monitors hooked up, how often do you think this little guy gets to smile like that? To find a Toy Run in your area, be sure to check our MotorcycleEvent Calendar. And if you are having a Toy Run, be sure to post it in our Calendar, or let us know about it, and we will post it for you!

October 8th, 2009
Glendale, Ca — Love Ride 26, slated for October 25, 2009, has been canceled. The announcement was made by Love Ride founder Oliver Shokouh, who cited the weak economy as the reason for the event’s cancellation. In place of the usual event, Glendale Harley, Home of the Love Ride, is sponsoring an autograph session with Peter Fonda and free movie screening, commemorating the 40th Anniversary of Fonda’s starring role in “Easy Rider.” The event will take place at the dealership (3717 San Fernando Rd. in Glendale) Friday, October 23rd from 4-10pm. Glendale Harley will also be selling Love Ride memorabilia (Love Rides 1-26) on Saturday, October 24th from 9am-4pm and Sunday, October 25th from 6am-2pm. The hope is to recoup some of the costs already incurred this year by the Love Ride Foundation. The dealership will also have representatives on hand to answer any questions. Donations to benefit our Love Ride beneficiaries are still being accepted and are tax deductible. The top ten fund-raising prizes featured in the Love Ride 26 brochure will still be awarded (excluding opportunity tickets). If you have already registered for Love Ride 26, you will receive a Love Ride 26 ride pin and a Love Ride 26 patch. In addition, you will also receive a Love Ride 26 t-shirt. It’s our way of saying thank you for this year’s support. All incentive prizes will be available for pick-up at Glendale Harley on Saturday, October 24th and Sunday, October 25th. For more information, please call our special hotline at 818-246-5618 ext. 141 Thank you. Story above from the Love Ride website: www.loveride.org/lr26/category/news/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Economy stalls the Love Ride The 26th running of annual motorcycle charity event has to be canceled due to lack of finances.By Max ZimbertGLENDALE — A lack of funds, not a lack of love, doomed what would have been the 26th annual Love Ride.
Organizers of one of the largest one-day motorcycle charity events in the world announced Thursday that it had been canceled due to poor ticket sales and other financial worries.
“The numbers were scary dismal to where we thought, ‘Gee, this thing is going to bomb,’” said Oliver Shokouh, Love Ride founder and the owner of Glendale Harley-Davidson, which organizes the ride.
Company officials canceled the event when pre-registration numbers were about one-third less than the event’s previously lowest turnout. The event typically raises more than $1 million, organizers said.
“I’ve talked to other people involved in charitable events, and typically they’re down on average by 50%, it seems like,” Shokouh said. “Charities have gone away from people’s hearts right now, and they’re really just fighting for survival.”
The Love Ride was started in 1984 as a fundraising event for the Muscular Dystrophy Assn. and had grown to benefit more than a dozen children’s charities.
A spokeswoman for the association said she was saddened by the cancellation, pointing out that funds raised by the Love Ride helped fund services and research for clients in the Los Angeles area.
“There’s no doubt that these are challenging times for [the association] and nonprofits alike,” said Roxan Triolo Olivas, national public relations manager for the association. “As a nonprofit we are accustomed to operating on a tight budget, and we will continue to work on new efforts to generate income.”
Instead of a ride that closes much of South Brand Boulevard, Shokouh arranged an autograph session with actor Peter Fonda and a free movie screening to commemorate the 40th anniversary of “Easy Rider.” The event is from 4 to 10 p.m. Oct. 23. Organizers will also sell Love Ride memorabilia at the dealership at 3717 San Fernando Road over the weekend.
“We’d rather try to hang on to what we have and cut our losses than lose it all and potentially more than we can afford,” Shokouh said, adding that the charity ride might return next year. “We’ll have to wait and see what happens to the state of the economy. We’ll see if we have the resources and energy and proper climate, but the vision’s always been great.”
Harley-Davidson laid off 1,100 workers in January, and motorcycle sales for 2009 were projected to drop about 40% compared with 2008, according to Dealernews, an industry publication.
Last year’s Love Ride attracted about 20,000 riders and culminated at the Fairplex in Pomona. The day of trade shows, exhibits, vendors and entertainment featured bikers from all over the U.S. An afternoon concert last year was headlined by ZZ Top and the Foo Fighters. Dwight Yoakam was slated to perform at this year’s event on Oct. 26.
Funding for the event comes mostly from Harley-Davidson of Glendale, with additional support from sponsorships. But backers were few and far between this year, Shokouh said.
“We’d cold-call a sponsor, some people would just laugh and hang up,” he said. “Even people we’ve had a relationship with in the past aren’t coming on board. It has been a really grueling experience.”
Glendale partnered with the event last year and marshaled about $29,000 worth of police and traffic control for about $14,000.
In September, the City Council approved $17,000 to co-sponsor the event, along with $2,000 to advertise the event.
“It’s really sad that such a great event is a victim of the economy,” said Philip Lanzafame, the city’s director of development services. “They’re holding a smaller event . . . while it’s not the same grand scale we’ve come to know, the spirit of it is still there, of helping those who could use some help.”
Participants who had already registered will receive a Love Ride 26 pin, patch and T-shirt.
Donations to Love Ride charities are still being accepted and are tax deductible, organizers said.
Shokouh said he hadn’t gotten a lot of sleep the last few weeks.
“Nobody wanted to keep this going more than me,” Shokouh said. “Twenty-five years of my life, and the focus is to do the Love Ride every year. This year, we worked twice as hard . . . and it just wasn’t happening.”

Gulfport Area Accomidations Biloxi Area Accomidations Gulfport Memorial Day Blowout Rally Review: From our firend BikerBob of USABikerParties.com Another year, another Memorial Day Blowout hosted by the ASGARD MC. It's a deep south tradition (21st annual and still counting), and one of the best rallies to go to in the entire year.
They had everything a biker could want for a long weekend out partying. Biker rodeo games (weenie bite, slow race, barrel race), some rocking bands, dragstrip racing, a really good BIKINI contest and one of the BEST DAMN WET T-SHIRT CONTESTS I've ever seen... and of course they sell beer AND have primitive camping so you can drink all you want and just chill out with your buds.
Also present was a good choice of food vendors, and of course the regular guys selling everything from sunglasses to the redneck rebel store (selling everything confederate a southern boy could possibly want), leather vendors, biker accessories... you name it, they was there. There was even a guy TITTY PAINTING when the sun went down... you know I love this rally !
A bike show, tatoo contest and lot's of big giant trophies to give away along with cash prizes for all the winners. You can tell that these guys have been putting on a good rally for a while, they seem to have it all down to a science. Maybe it's just because it's a biker rally actually organised by bikers FOR bikers ! :) I sure have a lot more fun every year at this rally than I ever had at Daytona.
All in all I would guess that about 10.000 people or so showed up to camp for the weekend, and who knows how many just popped in for the day. Oh ya, why did I call it the ''invasion of the cajuns'' ? Cuz we're right next door to good'ol Lousiana, and I ain't seen so many cajun's since... well the last time I was down on Bourbon street. And the entire country KNOWS how the cajun's like to party... after all they DID invent Mardi Gras !
Like I said, I LOVE this rally.
I went, I saw, I liked. And I had a great time. Definately put this rally on your list of places to go next summer, cuz if you don't ya'll will read about it here and wish that you were able to say that you wuz there!

UPDATE: Good News - Even though the City of Hollister has canceled the motorcycle rally and events downtown...The original GTMC Bolado Park rally at Hollister Ca. is Back. This is NOT a city event the entire event will be at Bolado Park. For more information, go the the Bolado Park Rally listing. Once again the city of Hollister has canceled the Hollister Independence Motorcycle Rally. You may rember the happened once before, back in 2006, and people showed up anyway. Even thought there were no sponsored vendors, and the streets were not closed to cars...the parties went on at the local biker bars, and in the camping and lodging areas. Here is the official statement from the City of Hollister: HOLLISTER, CALIFORNIA – February 3, 2009 – The Hollister City Council voted to cancel the 2009 Hollister Motorcycle Rally, citing concerns over the potential cost to the City’s already struggling general fund.
The decision to cancel the rally came after months of careful consideration. Since 1997, the Hollister Motorcycle Rally has been an annual event. Spiraling expenses caused a review of the feasibility of continuing the rally. Starting in 2004, the City had to begin paying increased costs for assistance from state law enforcement agencies. Due to the downturn in the state budget, these agencies could no longer provide services without reimbursement. In addition, adjustments were made to ensure that contracts with officers from outside agencies conformed to state law. Of course, as attendance at the rally increased over the years, additional law enforcement personnel were necessary to ensure the safety of rally attendees and the residents of Hollister. In addition to law enforcement expenses, the City incurs costs associated with preparing for the event, as well as public works and equipment expenses. Finally, there are other public safety expenses, such as supplemental firefighter/paramedic staffing. These expenses exceeded reimbursement by over $100,000. This left the City with a general fund expense at a time the City is facing severe cutbacks and spending down its general fund reserve. Facing the possibility of even greater expenses and further reduction of its general fund, the City Council voted to cancel the 2009 Hollister Motorcycle Rally.

The last I checked they were going to be adding some submissions from the Redwood Run - Rated R Where To Stay (at the Rally) The Redwood Run is one of those great old school style biker rallies where the entire event happens in one single location. The band, the parties, the vendors, and you living quarters are all right there on the property. The camping at the Redwood Run Rally is GREAT. There are a number of individual campsites throughout the property depending on where you want to be and whether you want to be in the middle of the party or a nice quite spot to go "home" to. You can be close to the vendors and stage, you can camp right on the river, which is directly behind the stage, or you can be a little more away from the action and camp at one of the sites up the hill closer to the main gate. If you camp at the top ot the hill, you will most likely need to ride down to the vendor and concert area, there is plenty of parking. The Redwood Run Staff also provide shuttles from upper camp areas and the front gate to the main rally grounds where the vendors and stage are. Where To Stay (the night before) Since the Redwood Run is a first come, first serve for camping spots, if a good location is important to you you will want to stay close by the night before so you can get up early and get in line. The two closest spots with lodging are Willits - to the South, and Garbeville - to the north. Both of these towns sell out allof there rooms pretty early each year, so if you want a room you need to book well in advance. We always stay at the Best Western in Willits. Quick Links: Lodging in Willits Lodging in Garberville CycleFish at the Redwood Run As many of your are aware, especially if you have been to the Redwood Run, we are always there and in the same spot. We can usually get a pretty good party going in the afternoons on the corner right outside our campsite. So if you are going, make a point to stop by, say hi, and have a beer or two with us. Or if you are in Willits the night before, stop by the Best Western and have a beer with us. We will most likely be right outside are room with a big crowd. Here's a map to help you find your way aroung the Rally grounds and to find our campsite. 
Additional Information from the Official Redwood Run Site It seems that every time a “smart person” makes a statement about life, they give you the “everything changes” line. This might work in the world of big cities, but in the backwoods of Northern California, the only thing different from one day to the next is the name of the day. WELCOME TO THE REDWOOD RUN!
This biker paradise is held on the second weekend of each June, at the Riverview Ranch in Piercy, California, about 200 miles north of the Golden Gate on Highway 101. It was once a dude ranch in the 1930’s operating until the freeway came through...remains of it can still be seen on campgrounds appropriately named “Chimney” and “Apple” flats.
If you are not familiar with it, the Redwood Run harkens back to days when bike runs were self-contained events. You rode your bike to it and set up camp with the stuff you carried on your bike. One of the last remaining real “Old School” biker parties; attendance is limited to approximately 5300... making it pretty much a private party on private property. Any and all behavior is tolerated as long as it doesn’t violate “community standards“. And since this is private property; helmet laws aren’t enforced and security is provided by the MMA offering the crowd more freedom than is accustomed at casino or fairground rallies.
The first Redwood Runs were overnight cookouts attended by about 150, now over 30 years later it has grown to more than 5,000 bikers coming from all over the U.S. and abroad. Many visitors kick off their summer vacations at the Redwood Run and stay on after to enjoy the north coast hospitality. Due north near Orick, you’ll find a large herd of Roosevelt elk and just a turn off the freeway gets you to some of the most beautiful Pacific coastline. There are so many beautiful rides that its impossible to do it all!
The Riverview Ranch offers 85 acres of scenic camping and hot showers. Campgrounds are on various flats with oak and redwood trees for shade, some have breath-taking views and the river has numerous swimming holes. There on a terraced mountainside where the Eel River bends is a natural amphitheatre; the river runs behind the stage and there is a cliff on the other side. In front of the stage is the infamous pit, where the party action is.
The Run officially opens at 9 a.m. Friday, June 12, unofficially it starts a day or two before at numerous bars and watering holes in a dozen or so towns all over northern California. Over the years the Run has grown into a 100 -mile- long party that starts where the freeways end in places like Hopland and Upper Lake or Willits. You won’t find hotels or restaurants at this event, unless you drive into Garberville, about 12 miles away. However, what you will find is a celebration of raw lifestyle and what is left of a true biker experience.
Only carry-in items are allowed (no carry-in alcohol) and it bikes-and-tents inside the gates. Limited parking is available for trucks, cars and RV’s outside the gate. Luxurious Wine Country Tour busses provide a free shuttle down the hill to the “Pit” all weekend. Mouth-watering food is cooked up and sold by assorted local non-profit organizations that range from Boosters Clubs to several volunteer fire departments and the beer is cold and cheap. The event is one of the largest fundraising events on the north coast and benefits programs from youth sports to senior and adult disabled programs. Many Kiwanis clubs get paid for various jobs and take money back to their communities to help children- the Kiwanis #1 priority.
The daylight hours are filled with riding out to nearby communities, touring the redwoods, and watching motorcycle games and the wet t- shirt contest.
As renowned as the Redwood Run is for its wet t-shirt contest, its even more famous for the stellar musical acts that headline the event every year. This year’s entertainment includes George Thorogood & The Destroyers, Los Lonely Boys, Santana and Journey founding member Gregg Rolie and Lita Ford and that’s just for starters. The entire line-up consists of 10 bands and music goes til about 2 am each night. Check out the Music page for more info.
The price of the entire weekend includes 2 night of music, camping with hot showers, BBQ dinner on Saturday, commemorative run pin, free shuttle, biker games, vintage and custom bike shows, wet t-shirt contest, vendors, tattoo artists, prizes and good ol‘ biker fun.
There are always surprises and different activities but the constant is always a blow out party on private property with lots of freedom to relax from work week responsibilities and inhibitions.
As Easyriders concludes “ There is just so damn much fun and silliness going on at this rally and so many beautiful rides to go on that it’s impossible to do it all. So if ya feel like gettin’ lucky, then come on out this June, relax, and party with us at The Redwood Run.”
All makes of motorcylces are welcome and everyone 21 yrs and older is invited, bike or no bike. The ticket office can be reached at 707-247-3424.
