Winner of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation raffle

    WOW!!! I am so speechless!!! My wife is actually crying tears of joy right now!!! This wouldn't even be happening if it wasn't for her sneaking around and secretly ordering a Sling Shot for me almost exactly 1 year ago!!!!
    We were in such a rut because we could not ride our bike anymore due to her worsening back issues. We loved riding, and the fact we could not ride put us in a nasty rut for a while. Well, some of you that have known me since last September know that our Sling Shot turned our life around and got us out of that rut big time!!! We have made some truly awesome friends since then, that we would not have ever known other wise, and I must say.......these friendships are priceless!!!!! It's such a shame that my bride can not attend the Adirondacks event with me (we have a small business and both of us can not take time off together), but she will be there in heart and soul.
    My wife asked what exactly did I win, and I didn't even know for sure because I was simply happy to have the honor of donating to such a worthy cause, I didn't really care who won, it's really about the giving and caring for those less fortunate that counted. I had to look it up to see the details, and go over it all with my wife.
    All I can say is THANK YOU @ivor first and foremost, for doing what you do and being so selfless in your efforts, also a big shout out to @DKF Texas for your selfless actions and HUGE heart!! The list goes on and on.... @gpcustoms, @EjFord, @Painter, @rabtech, @Tripod, just to name few more who give and give and give....in their own ways......I can't possibly name you all, but you & I know who you are.......and I am very thankful to have been accepted in such a wonderful circle of special people.....Aka Sling Shot Community!!!! I am so thankful, even though I am not as worthy as some of you lovely people!!!! Thanks so much....I am speechless....I think I already said that. OK....time for some happy dances and PARTY TIME!!!!!! Oh, and needless to say......BEERS are on me when we all get together in the Adirondacks....or your choice of frosty beverage!!! :00007555::00007555::00000156::00000156::00000441::00000441::00000436::00000436::00008040::00008040::00008040::00008040:

    once the turbo is on this will be tour turn



    Heh, Heh......that's funny!! In our family, my mom would send out congratulation cards to any of us kids when we got a ticket!! My wife got her first ticket ever a couple years ago, and sure enough, several days later, she got her congrats card from my mom. Our whole family is a bunch of lead foots, so speeding tickets are like badges of honor. Just one detail, out of Oh So Many, that makes my family the gaggle of miscreants that we are. :00000019:

    Congratulations...... I couldn't agree more with the others. This wonderful prize is going to a great member of our SS community. I also can't wait to hear how you like extra ponies from Alpha Powersports under your hood. AND I bet your going to love all the new goodies from Cycle Springs.

    Thanks @rabtech!!! Even though I never thought I'd be joining the Turbo crowd (would've taken me years of cashing in beer cans to save up the $$$$...Hah!!), I always followed each and every post y'all made over the past year I've been a member of the community. I can't wait to take one Sling Shot to the event, and bring home a totally different one!!!!
    I've said it before and I'll say it again......the Sling Shot Community is unlike anything I've ever had the honor of being a part of!!! This includes the awesome vendors that support our crazy addiction!!!!
