Bikers of all ages, with cycles of all makes and models are ready to roll in the annual cruise through Hastings streets for charity on Saturday, November 23.

The ride is organised by the Mid North Coast Chapter of the Harley Owners Group (HOG) to collect toys, gift cards and other charitable donations for the Salvation Army.

"It's for the benefit of kids and makes them happy. There is the wholeness of making kids and families happy," Salvation Army major Heather Unicomb

"We are finding at the moment that families might get that extra big bill and they just haven't got enough money to pay that and provide a good Christmas. It's tough for families.

"There are kind people in Port Macquarie who want to give something to the community and this is one way they can do it.

"We really appreciate the partnership we have with the community, we couldn't do it by ourselves."

Riders will assemble at the Laurieton United Services Club around 10am for a 11am run to Westport Club in Port Macquarie.

The roaring parade will make its way along coastal roads before finishing on the foreshore adjacent the Club beside the Hastings River for a presentation of toys and barbecue.

MNC HOG activities officer Chris Jackson said toy donations for youngsters, gift cards for older children and cash donations are more than welcome.

"Anything from 150 to 200 riders would be good," he said.

"There are a lot of motorbikes in town and all of dealerships around, they all come to support the Salvos.

"It's been starting down at Laurieton for as long as I can remember. I usually dress up as Santa Claus and ride up front.

"We get all sorts of bikes, Harleys and trikes. It's welcome to all registered motorcycles and we make a big long line of bikes."
