    Brightside Toy Run Chicopee Ma Oct 12, 2008

    This year's Toy Run will be held on Sunday, October 12, 2008 in front of Wal-Mart in Chicopee, MA. Riders will gather at 9:00 a.m. and depart for Brightside at noon.

    The Toy Run is a community sponsored event where 3000 motorcycle enthusiasts follow Santa on a spectacular ride to deliver Christmas gifts to the children of Brightside. Thousands line the route, cheering the bikers' parade. At Brightside, we look forward with avid anticipation each year as our "Angels in Leather" bring a smile to the faces of many children. For more information please contact Sara Silvia at (413) 748-9997.


    Toys should be for children ages 10 and older. Gift cards and cash donations are welcome so staff can pick out gifts most needed by the children.

    Anyone going?

    I'll be in Chicopee on the 12th, but in the cage.

    Brightside does great things for kids, though. Glad to hear this event still happens.

    Eric, we might be doing some street Sunday. If I don't get around to changing the tires on her 690 Supermoto in time, I'll be riding the Big Black Pig. There's also the chance of a d-s ride.

    Yeah, my bike should be back up and out of my garage today. Sounds like a great cause!

    Tons of fun yesterday, thanks for the loaner Turbo. Great cause, TONS of bikes, mostly cruisers, some sports, few moto, couple scooters. It was great running red lights with the cops.

    Hello GNturbo6

    it was pretty funny seeing a group of three Hayabusas that really looked like they wanted to be harleys. Really wish I had brought my camera. They were all chromed out with crazy specially milled parts. Made me envy those with that much money to spend on crazy things, hahaha.
