yeah! mass up with them! i have seen the toys for tots ride several times. always from the sidelines. i dig the spirit and i dont see why they would not want us in the mix. i had heard some bicycles have rolled with it. are they going to turn us and our toys away?

when else can we roll western av with so few cars?

as i saw, a couple waves leave the south side, we could mass up with an early wave and head to the armory.

amlings too! why not!!!!?! it is gonna be a great bike winter!

OK, I am down with the idea, but are you proposing 'official' participation, or crashing the paradel; and would the expectation be that the motorcycles just pass the bikes?

dunno! is this a stuation where forgiviness is easier than permission?

the cops are already there corking intersections

how often do we get to ride that much of western without cars!

true dat.. re: capacity

TfT's board meeting is tonight at vfw near argo, 63rd w of harlem. I spoke with one of their honcho's... at first he summarily said 'no' but then?... invited me to submit the idea as new biz at their meeting... where he felt they would likely say no.

the harley marine corps event guy invoked the holy names of insurance, liability... registered vehicals... etc etc as to why we possibly could not ride.

born to be wild? i guess.

ok, now i am bird-dogging this. if anyone wants a piece of the fun? i am going to their meeting. pls co-ordinate with me.

h-may i speak as a rep of the 'bike winter' family?

thanks

Cool, let me know. Not sure how much excess organizational capacity WBC might have at the moment.

worst case? you and i roll up to the armory with a couple toys moments after they relinquish western av

as our beloved kin get mowed down by cars with equal results?.... i feel we need to do more 'interfaith' stuff like this

I am old and not good at deciphering--what did the last post mean?

Did you go to the motorcycle meeting?  Did they say no?
