This was my first time on the run, having only recently passed my test. I was thoroughly thrilled to take part in such a fantastic
selfless event. Everybody had a great time despite it raining on the way to the hospital. I have never experienced such an event
and was quite overcome with emotion. What a fab day - see you all again next year !!!!

As a mere spectator on gt western road your run was an amazing sight especially when the road as far as the eye could see was
filled with bikes. Its heartening to see people so willing to give of their time to help others wishing you a even bigger run
next year

I don't know if there is a big guy in the sky or not but if so his timing was spot on with the rain, went off just as we left
kelvin way nice one, but he has got a sick sense of humor as it pissed down on the way home.
I was with the group with the little boy who was on the news, everyone made his day and thanks to the chap who gave him a lift
top dude. Thought the rain would have put some people off but there was even more than last year, a feat in itself. Roll on next
year.

Bikes as far as the eye could see and my god what a racket. My first run, brought a tear to my eye and a lump to my throat. Hope it
made a packet and the kids enjoy the chocolate.
Only comments:
A way of directing people round the back side of Kelvin Way?

An absolutely brilliant day. Well organised, planned & delivered. Well done everyone!
Could I make a suggestion to raise funds for next year. Everyone arriving at yorhill was absolutely buzzing and there were loads
of kids there. Might it be an idea to sell "MAG/Yorkhill 2006 Scottish Egg Run" printed T shirts or have you tried that
one already.

Only my second run but this one was the best. Excellent organisation! I know that some people complained about this last year
but surely there can be none of that after this one.
An excellent set-up at the start, superb marshalling, great support from the Police (and a few smiles as we waved) and an awesome
event at the end with some music and food. This gave a much better, and bigger, party atmosphere.
All-in-all, another great day. The rain just couldn't have spoiled it. A highlight of the biking year!!

My first easter egg run, constant lump in my throat and tear in my eye, what a sight, but what amazed me more than anything was
the amount of members of the public who turned out on the streets to support the run, will be back nexy year and every year after.

Superb effort,
I tried to get along myself, but got only 30 yards when 3 fractured vertebrae informed me this was not going to be a possibility.
Looked the best run ever, sorry i missed it.

yet again an incredible day,despite the drizzle. The best organised event so far and a big thank you to everyone who participated
in organising the event. It is a mindblowing sight, all those bikes. Nice to see as many people making the effort to dress up as
Easter bunnies etc. I am sure all of the kids loved it and hopefully the eggs and money raised will make life a bit brighter. I
cannot wait til next year already

Thought the organisation was superb,the simulated starting grid is much better as it saves the bottleneck while departing from
Kelvin Way. I would on behalf of all participants like to express our appreciation of all concerned from MAG- Scotland, the
marshalls and Strathclydes Finest, Also to Glasgow City Council, just proves it that GLASGOW IS SMILES BETTER

A special thank you to Harry Munn for your generosity in allowing Rhys to ride along in your side car. We
never knew exactly what to expect when Yorkhill contacted us asking Rhys to help out but all i can say is my wee boy has had the
day of his life yesterday and being Rhys's mum, i think i can speak up for all the other patients parents from the cardiac ward
and the rest of the hospital in saying a mega big THANK YOU. There are plenty kind hearted bikers out there who definitly know
how to touch peoples hearts in a very generous way.

Another excellent day (except for the rain!!!) I always have a huge lump in my throat riding into the hospital. I have a young
cousin with a serious heart condition, who if it wasn't for Yorkhill, would not be with us today, so this makes the run that wee
bit more personal.
Was bloody hard going at times though! All that slow control practice must be good for the soul!

It was my first run and a brilliant day out. Hopefully next year I will be on my own bike as bought a 125 Daelim only one prob
not plucked up courage to sit cbt yet so bike only comes out for a wash and polish. Hope you liked bike on Sunday it was one that
was dressed up as a duck with my pal wearing the wings (suited you Peter).Dont know how much we raised but had a bucket on route
and just handed it in cant wait to see how much you's raised. My helmet goes off to all you organisers.
Well Done

Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant, what else can be said? Top honours yet again to the guys who organised the run & to Glasgow &
our local Police force for their support. What a turnout, excellent to see such a large bunch of happy faces both on the bikes &
lining the roads. Even the folk in the cars & buses stoped at the junctions didn't seem too bothered. Pity about the damp
weather but didn't seem to hurt things too much. Here's to next year & bigger & louder more colourful again.

My husband Roy and Daughter April went on their first run this year, it was the best day they have had out on the bike, the people
were so friendly and I videoed every single bike, I got lots of photos and any one wanting a copy give us a shout, the organising
was superb and I think as a spectator I was more excited than the bikers. Well done to everyone and great to see so many come out
on Easter Sunday. Fab Day, can't wait till next year.

This was my second run and hubby's first, (he missed last year's due to his bike breaking down enroute to the run). Once again i
was buzzing as were our girls, (who were pillions). Nothing can beat the atmosphere on Kelvin Way when all the bikes start up,
what a high.
Once again well planned and organised, just fantastic. Well done, even the weather couldn't put us off.
C u all again next year.

First of all a big thanks to all of the team at M.A.G for one of the best days in little Rhys Wills life so far, he's the wee boy
that missed last years run as he was recovering after a serious operation at the Yorkhill and you managed to get him a run in a
sidecar.His family had never seen anything like it and ended up being quite emotional at the end of the day, to see so many bikers
all contributing to a cause that can be so heartbreaking certainly touched the family.Please give my heart felt thanks to all the
organisers,volanteers,police and especially all the staff at the Yorkhill who without their help and dedication this day would not
have been possible for the family thanks again and keep up the good work its much appreciated

This was my fourth run as a scooerist (this time on the cammo chop/cutdown vespa) and once again I was proud to be part of this
excellent event. The organisers of this event go to great lengths to open it up to ALL powered two wheel riders. I only wish more
scooterists would join in. Anyhoo...next year I'll be there on my....Thunder, Thunder, THUNDERCAT!!!!
