Toyrun has run ... what n incredible day!! The sheer SIZE and VOLUME and everything ...
A lot went wrong, several accidents to and from the venues, 2 marshalls were knocked over during the ride. The Think Bike caravan was totalled en route to the venue, and we had the JHB METRO idiots involved, who promptly went and fucked it up as solidly as could be imagined. In several places too.
Several bikers had incidents to and from the run, R.I.P to the Walkerville 18 year old, who hit a pedestrian. Get well soon to the rest. Gemini, you and your son both heal soon, and i hope the bike gets sorted ... in the line of duty, respect.
You see, a mass of bikes like that, is like a wild animal, perhaps a bull, with us marshalls as the toreadors. And instead of having a closed arena within which to work, imagine it in the middle of the market square, and no-one else is allowed to get hurt. It's more about holding it's attention ... and keeping it, than anything else. AND making sure no "kids" run into the way ...
As a whole, i rate it a success. Many people had a lot of fun, and thousands of toys are going to find their ways into kids christmas stockings.
Will post my fvourite pics as they find themselves onto the net.
