On December 8th, several thousand (up to 10,000 in the past) motorcylists, from all walks of life, will gather at Glenelg, a beachside 'burb of Adelaide (SA). As in the past, a large group of locals will gather, to keep an eye on the Riff and/or Raff. As before, when this gathering unfurls into a thunderous convoy, they will be glad to see us go. Along the route, we will be supervised by Police, and waved on by residents, until we reach our destination in the foothills town of Hahndorf. Every rider will approach the rented truck and make their offering. Last year, the truck was filled several times over, with packages both obvious and mysterious. The Salvation Army seldom seem to mind, however, as all this booty goes to brighten the Christmasd of needy kids.
If you can have a Christmas gathering with your 'extended family' that feels this good and is this much fun, congratulations! If you're in the neighbourhood, drop in, there's always room for one more.
