Auto Cycle Run??
Hi All:
I have a problem here. The agency I work for has a number of fund raisers going on during the year. I opened my mouth and said. Hey!! how about a motorcycle charity run? They love the idea, but they dont know much about motorcycle runs, and I dont either. So I met with the head of the fund raising committee on Friday and we have a couple of things in place a starting point and an ending point. I asked our local H.D. dealer if we could use his lot for a starting place for this run. He was happy to do this. So I checked my e-mail when I got home and the head of the committee said that another person I work with wants to include classic cages in the run. I am not thrilled with this. Dont get me wrong I love classic cages but this is a motorcycle run, I feel to include any cages (outside of a crash vehicle) in a motorcycle run is wrong to me for many reasons? Am I being an ***??

As an owner of a bike and a muscle car, I agree with you. I wouldn't take my car to a bike run nor visa versa. I guess if you are somewhat certain that the turn out would be relatively small, it might be ok. To be honest, stick to the bike only event. You can also just do one of each.

Your not being an ***, the Head of the Committee is. What is he a commie are something? Bikes and Classic cages? next he'll want all bike to be trailered behind the Classic Cage parade.
It could work if on the Bike Run you make one of the stops a place to look at the PARKED Classic cars. But not a combined run!

You "could" do it like this. Everybody meets at the HD stealer at 12:30 pm. The bikes pull out at 1 pm...Then the cages at 2 or 3 pm. Something like that. depends on what the $ is for............
