NorCal Voyagers Club
Ronald McDonald House Toy Run

Report by Robert Webb

Hello Voyager Riders.
Just a short story on OUR December 9th Ronald McDonald TOY RUN. 
It started on a cold, gray, gloomy Saturday morning at 10:00 AM. My wife Shirley and myself were loading our bike with toys and getting our daughter Lori ready on her Harley. We were joined by our son, Tom and our granddaughter, Ashley on his Suzuki 650. We left for the Harley dealer in Fairfield to join the rest of our group. When we arrived, Jim and Dennis were there waiting for us on their Voyagers. We arrived just in time to get in line to leave. We left the lot at 11:00 AM and rode to Dixon for breakfast/lunch. After getting our  tummy's full, we went to the next starting point and got in line just in time to leave again. (It seems like we were always there just in time). We left for Sacramento with our two motorcycle escorts, who were there on their own time. I only saw the two of them but you would have thought there were at least 6 the way they controlled traffic for us. We arrived in Sacramento at around 1:30 at the Ronald McDonald house. We were greeted by Ronald himself on a gas driven scooter waving a flag, and a whole parking lot full of children. What a beautiful site. We dropped off the presents after getting a parking place. After that, we mulled around taking pictures. I got Ronald to get on my Voyager with my granddaughter Ashley for a couple of pictures. THEN THE FUN BEGAN. Ronald asked ME to lead the parade of bikers who wanted to give the kids rides. I was more than willing to do just that. I got to be the first in line, followed by Voyager two, Jim, and Voyager three, Dennis. We gave rides for about and hour or more then we had to leave. My son said he stayed and helped with putting helmets on the kids until they ALL had a turn. It was a fun day for all of us that went and we all agreed to do it again next year. I hope everyone else in our club can join us next year.
