By Treena Shapiro Star-Bulletin Robin Savoy was having breakfast at the Sizzler restaurant in Waikiki seven years ago when she saw a parade of motorcycles pass through Waikiki. Aware that she would soon have a new set of wheels, she decided then that she would begin participating in the Street Bikers United annual Toys for Tots Parade the following year. Her ride packs an extra wheel and, for the last three years, an oxygen tank as well. But it is her smile that really made her stand out from the crowd packed into the Waikiki Shell parking lot after yesterday's parade. By George F. Lee, Star-Bulletin Robin Savoy and companions joined the Street Bikers United Christmas Parade down Kalakaua.
People expect it.
I get a lot of smiles. With six large stuffed animals strapped to her scooter, Savoy delivered smiles to needy keiki assembled at the Shell to pick gifts from Toys for Tots. Some 3,000 bikers donated more than 5,000 new toys to needy children after their 26th annual parade yesterday, filling the Shell's stage with items for every age group. His prize was a set of five small Pokemon figures with battle disks, which he plans to add to the collection of eight he has at home. Daniel was impressed by the assortment of motorcycles and master of ceremonies Andy Bumatai.
