I don't have a place to display a bike like this, but I'm sure some of you do.

Display it? I am in for a chance, I am going to rip the roads apart with it!

Great thing about this raffle, if you do win you dont have to be to precious with the "$30k custom bike" because you've only got $100 in it!

Don't know how it is where you live, but in CT if you win something in a raffle, like a car or a bike, you have to pay a third of the value as a sales tax, because it's a "prize".

How do you all live in those states?  Not only that, but why do you allow that in your state?    Having watched Rodsmith videos, I'm sure he will fill out the paperwork any way you want it filled out.

if I win, I'm gonna ride it to the DMV and register it as a 2019 MG Bobber, pay the highway use tax & property tax on their accessed value... and keep my mouth shut

If I ever won a bike like that...I would put a plate on it and RIDE IT...not display it! 

1 / 350 chances is much better odds than the lottery!

Good point. That is what the title will say.

With all due respect for CR and his creative talent, I would take a stock ( or perhaps stock looking) Tonti LM any day for riding.  For the guy or gal who has everything and would like the art/ bling in the garage, sure. That said, I hope someone on WG wins it so riding/ other impressions can be shared.

48% in mo. Prize, Gift, bonus... 
that old saying "you can't win if you don't play" is only true on one side of the fence, tracks, escarpment....

Sounds more like, "If you can't afford to win, don't play."

Well if you take the turbo out of the equation, what you have is a 2017 V9 with a USD fork conversion, clip-ons, and tubeless wheels. So in essence, this guzzi is not that different from any old tonti outfitted with a monoposto seat-  in terms of frame, engine configuration, and only slightly more horsepower.  I have even considered if I was lucky enough to win..  if the turbo is a hassle, isn't well tuned, or detracts from the ride... It would not be the end of the world should one need to pull off the turbo and install some stock V9 headers and change the map.
