I'm sorry to say that I have removed my Toy Run videos from YouTube.
I have received several threats from an element damning Ulyssians for holding a toy run.
Because we followed the rules and had police ride with us some have classed us a
"Dogs". More madness generated by the anti-bikie hysteria.

Pretty sad really. I'd read/heard about the run before it happened but saw nothing on TV/local paper afterwards. There sure are some idiots around.
Anyway, good on you for being part of the run.
We went to this years Lockyer Ulysses Christmas Toy Run on last Sunday.
A great turnout with about 800 riders, including the Qld.Police commissioner.
I don't have figures for the dollars & presents to charity as yet.
Last year with 740 riders $18,000 went to the Salvation army
and $4,500 went to UCARF ( Ulysses Club Arthritis Foundation )
Plus a truck load of gifts to the Salvos.
I would expect similar figures this year & I know a 4 tonne
pantec truck was filled to bursting with gifts.
Considering all the "bikie"hysteria of late
there was an excellent turnout. The police were very helpful
and the media positive ( If only very brief news items ).
Hope you like the video.
