This is an annual event that is organized by hoggers, but we thought that we would crash it anyway. It was for an excellent charity - so we took two Suzukis, One Kawasaki, a Buell, and my wife's Derbi scooter. My sister and brother-in-law took their Kawasaki Vulcan from Dallas. We started in Ft. Worth.

I think every Harley and Gold-Wing in Texas was there!

Wow! That sure beats the 20-odd bikes we had out a week ago for the Toy Run in Aberdeen! Mind you, the temperatures were probably a whole lot less than in Texas!

Better V-Strom to non-Strom ratio though, 1:20, I'm on the yellow DL1000 behind the Santas. Lotsa Bandits and CBRs, but nary a Harley amongst them. Just a couple of Yamaha cruisers http://aberdeenshire.mag-uk.org/

Now, yours looks more like a ride than a traffic jam. The Texas Toy Run was a great experience but mostly low speed balance practice (also quite noisy).

Merry Christmas!
