We're not talking about Hells Angels. These are just people from all different walks of life who love motorcycles. They love to help others because they are just like you and me.
We had a bike run in September for cancer.
Every year here, there's a bike run for toys for tots.
The town fills up with all types of motorcycles. Quite a few have teddy bears attached to them. It looks real cute to see a chopped Harley with a big old guy full of tattoos and beard, with a teddy bear in the passenger seat!

I totally agree!!
If anything it's gone wealthy yuppy these days.
I knew a family of bikers who every easter did the toy for tots fundraiser in San Jose, CA.
They raised a lot of money.

I agree, all bikers are not bad. The Stone Cold club and Dinasores(yes thats how they spell it) just held a huge benefit yesterday for a family whose father is battling cancer. The clubs here(Illinois) are always having runs for Toys for Tots and other great causes.

It is a great cause and helps to show that bikers in general are not bad people; they just get a bad rap because of a few troublemaking bad apples.

Toys For Tots among others and the Masonic Fraternity also has runs for worthy causes such as the Shriner's Hospitals.

Today the bikers are the modern day cowboy and they are lawyers, doctors and a lot of professional that have joined the ranks of Hell angels

You are right! I think that these guys are probably sterotyped by what we see on tv and in the media.
It would be good if they could do this sort of thing throughout the year and it might change peoples perceptions of them.
