Thanks for the confirmation Gidget. I have been doing a bit of advertising on a local forum back home and that is why the South Africans have been streaming in. Some idiot started a rumor that you would not win it if you were not at the draw so thats why I needed the confirmation. Really glad to hear it . The link is here (reply no 6.)if you're interested. http://www.wilddog.za.net/forum/index.php?topic=103835.6
Oh wow, well that is awesome, thank you!!!! (and nice to know there are "idiots" all around the world.... LOL!!) HAWK, soooooooooo glad you were able to get in!!! There was some mis-calculating on my part about how many tickets were left and my hubby closed the ticket sales down.... Then about 10 minutes later I recounted and told him there was still a few left! OMG, sorry about that!!! haha..... (i hate math - yes, even tho the tickets are numbered!!!) ALL TICKETS HAVE BEEN SOLD!!!!!!!! You guys are all awesome and amazing and THANK YOU for all your support over the years with Chris' racing career and all the way up until now!! very special.......... THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED THIS WEEKEND!!! It will be recorded by Pod-Cast with our friends at BIKE WEEK RADIO SHOW (see Facebook) and we will send the link (once we know it).

+2!! I am soo pleased that the raffle has been a success. Of course I too have crossed fingers for Saturday! I can't wait to plan my trip to Cali to pick up the bike...
You guys never cease to make me laugh!!! :) Here is a photo of the raffle ticket box! I've been mixing and stirring and mixing some more..... getting ready for the raffle tomorrow!!!! Woooo Hooooo!
Can you shuffle the box again - cannot see my ticket on top ! Of course I hope I win - but if I don't then I am happy to have done my little bit to help Chris and his family ! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
I agree, and working with the dynamic duo Chris and Gidget has been huge fun. I I win I'm going to try to auction or sell the bike outright and split the money with the Blais gang. Arthritis, a sproinged back and old age would keep me from riding that amazing bike with the vigor it deserves.
I'm figuring I would have received notice by now. Congratulations to whomever won and I hope my donation helped at least a little. for the person that got this amazing bike. Sent from my party line rotary dial phone using Tapatalk
My odds just went up to 1:299! I wonder what one could sell this for. Hate to say it but I could use a plated 500EXC much more than another green sticker. I imagine there's plenty of folks out there that could put this bike to much better use than I ever could.
Well I'm a bit pissed that this came up while I was in such financial shit, and then I blew my chance buy waiting to late to get a ticket. But considering I would have donated the bike back to them if I had have won, maybe I should just donate $100 (I'm not super generous or anything, I just couldn't afford to get it sent over here and I think it should stay over there anyway). But it doesn't stop me playing "Fantasy raffle ticket buying"... I would have gotten 231, or 274, so if one of those comes up, I'll be happy.
