With Christmas right around the corner. The sprit of giving is in full swing. Each year thousands of families face the challenges with providing gifts for there children. There are many reasons for families being in this situation. Could you imagine when you was a kid not getting a present for Christmas or being a parent that was unable to provide a present for your kids.  

Each year thousands and I mean thousands of Automotive and Motorbike Enthusiast join the US Marines in the Annual Toys for Tots Toy drive. The 2 drives are held on 2 separate events dues the enormous support from the community. Within the 2 events thousands of new unwrapped toys are donated from the automotive and bike community. 

We got a chance to attend both events but we cover the motorcycle event first. If you haven't been to the motorcycle event. The event is a cruise that starts at Ala Moana Beach park at the Magic Island Parking lot. Bike gather there in huge numbers, even driving down to the park you have the sense of something huge is happening some where because every where you drive bike are just all around you. We estimate over a 5000 bikes that ranged from Harley's being the most popular to Sport bikes to scooters and mopeds. This even is a sight to experience just seeing the whole parking lot filled with only bikes. We would like to thank everyone for there support in the Toys for Tots annual toy drive. Shouts out to the 808 Ruckus Crew for the invite!
