Motorcops Toy Run 2009

I've been doing a lot of charity stuff lately, mostly on BlogTV. But this is one I do every year, the Motorcops for kids toy run. I've tried for years to get a decent video of this run, something I would have thought a monkey could do, and yet I've found four monkeys who couldn't do it. This attempt might have been OK if my son didn't keep zooming out. I don't know why everyone thinks I want to see the trees when the point was to look on the whole forest.

Music:
Yngwie Malmsteen's 'Black Star' and
'Confrontation' by Tangerine Dream.

Man, I was up to 630 and still countin'... Never tought I'd see a video where Yngwie Malmsteen and Tangerine Dream would be playing together... ;-)

The kid did an okay job. I hope you didn't discipline him too badly.

@kirke420 you ain't too small. Dude, you know me, I ride all the time (off road). Size and weight never have anything to do with it. There are lots of us small dudes who ride!

You've seen my son. His bike is a classic Harley Iron Head Sportster, and he looks good on it.

Chain is a pain. Needs to be adjusted almost constantly and oiled every time it gets wet. The belt drive doesn't need to be lubed at all, and needs to be adjusted less often than my tires are replaced. So one takes care of the other. The belt is also as easy to change as a chain, and can handle more torque than a drive shaft. It's an obvious choice.

I love the lines on the Victories.

Belt driven is a pain, this means it has to be changed every? 50,000 miles?

Not a cheap job I think, requires specialist work..

[kirke420]

At about 120lbs, I am too small to ride a bike.. or at least, anything small enough for me to handle would look so gay I might as well just ride a scooter! :P

Hope things are going better for ya! Take care!

so many

Unlike every other bike I've ever had, my Victory doesn't require much maintenance at all. It's belt driven and has computerized fuel-injection, and seldom needs more than a wash. I change the unique brand of synthetic oil twice a year, and I pay someone else about $500.00 every year to change my tires.
