'Ride for Daniel'- 4th Annual Charity Ride

Post by Black Magic »

Hey guys.

Today was the 4th Annual 'Ride for Daniel' Charity ride here in QLD.

Over 7000 bikes rode a 110km route on the Sunshine Coast and paid $10 a rider to honour Daniel who went missing 4 years ago, and raise money for child safety and protection.

The procession of bikes went for a continuous 20kms!!!

What a fantastic day! :D

Tuzza is a great rider! We had a ball- so much so that we are doing it again tomorrow! :D 8)

BTW- I hope you meant Tuzz by the ugly mug comment and not me! :roll:

(Either way I'd say you are in trouble! :twisted: )

Thanks Brendan- it was a great day. Seeing 7000 bikes all in one carpark, and listening to Daniels mum and dad speak brought tears to my eyes. Their boy just disappeared one day never to be seen from again- presumably abducted.

The procession of bikes down the higway was incredible- people were lining the streets cheering and waving as a 20km road-train of bikes passed by.

Very inspiring!

Incredibly sad story, and such a cute kid. You can only hope that they ever find the sick fucker that took him, and chop them into little tiny bits.

For the last 7 weeks I have been sick with bronchitis, glandular fever and a myriad of other illnesses- I can hardly hold my bike up at the moment. :cry:

A knight in shining armour offered me a ride and I didn't want to miss it for the world! :D

(Although all day on the back of a Gixxer thou has left me exhausted anyway! The pillion seat is the size of a bread and butter plate ! :lol: )

It was a good day for a sad reason, I had held off on previous years because of the huge numbers but when I heard (and was correct) that a lot of planning had gone into this one to help that I went along.
