Australian TOY RUNs began in Perth, Newcastle and Melbourne
in the 1970s. In 2014 there are more than 50 in cities and towns across OZ. If
you want to make a positive statement about being Australian and being a rider,
make the effort, grab an Aussie flag and fly it at a TOY RUN. Help us get the
best things about Christmas in Australia and Australian motorcycling into the
main stream media.

GIFTS. New
toys & clothes do a lot of good. Second hand books and hard toys are great.
Tinned
food means a person who might go hungry
at Christmas gets a feed. Gift vouchers make top gifts. And, of course money is
most welcome. Even a single coin makes
a difference. Lots of single coins make a big difference. Pre-loved soft toys
can be a problem for charities because
they have to pay for them to be cleaned and that costs.
AUSSIE FLAGS. The more
the better. RIDE WITH
PRIDE!
FANCY
DRESS AND DECORATED BIKES. Do it. Go mad. Looks
good on TV and the kids love it.
SAFETY. All
road laws apply. Please do not overtake on the ride. If you want to leave the
run, indicate
left, pull over when it's safe and wait for the column to pass before moving
on.
