Many of you will know that we have a podcast, https://www.buzzsprout.com/112122 (https://www.buzzsprout.com/112122)
It's horrible, I know, I have to listen to every episode (182 So far). So, don't even bother listening to it unless you like virtually hanging out with a bunch of drunks. As bad as it is, we somehow have thousands of listeners and that kind of bandwidth costs $$$. Yes, we pay to give people free entertainment. Seems like a bad idea.
I'm not kidding despite the vintage motorcycle discussion and tech info, we routinely go off-topic and say crap that will have you yelling at your radio. But, we also have a facebook page, where you can call us out on our BS and become a part of the discussion and that's fun too. https://www.facebook.com/events/2011126122441275/ (https://www.facebook.com/events/2011126122441275/)
Rather than do a Patreon account or a GoFundMe etc. we've decided to put a big 'ol carrot out there...in the form of a Brand-new 2015 V7 Stone with Agostini Scrambler pipes, Aluminum sidepanels and number plate, DOT knobbies (Tubeless rims Yay!) etc. This bike has never been titled, it still has the full factory 2 year warranty.
I rode the bike at the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride this year and it was an absolute hoot.
For $20 a ticket you can get a chance at winning it.
For $100 you get 5 chances...etc. you see how this works.
We're only selling 500 tickets
We're drawing the winner at AMA Vintage Days in July (you don't need to be present to win) or as soon as we sell 500 tickets.
OK, you're in, now you want to know how to do it?
1 - Go to https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/send-money-online (https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/send-money-online)
2 - Send $20 per ticket to clevelandmoto@gmail.com - Be sure to click on where it says FRIENDS and FAMILY, if you click on Goods and Services paypal will take a cut of the money.
3 - We'll send you an email thanking you for getting in on the game and we'll print out an actual ticket for each $20 you've donated.
4 - Those tickets will be compiled and the winner will be chosen by hand in front of witnesses. The results will be announced after AMA Vintage Days on our website at https://www.clevelandmoto.com (https://www.clevelandmoto.com)

So your going to raffle of a motorcycle worth over $10,000 in order to raise $10,000 in ticket sales. WTF!

Now now, Don’t you worry yourself about that. I’m willing to bet the gents at CM put a little more thought into it than you did just now :wink:
Just buy your raffle ticket and skee-daddle.

I'm IN! wish me luck..

Worth over 10,000? Maybe to the right owner, but it was selling for less on their website just a month or so ago. It's a cool bike, and I think a good opportunity for Phil to liquidate his stock and actually make some money from a bike Piaggio sold him.
If this is a successful raffle, maybe you could put the big (Yamaha?) cruiser up next.

3 - We'll send you an email thanking you for getting in on the game and we'll print out an actual ticket for each $20 you've donated.
I didn't get that email, how long will it take?
-
Daum. I have seen and heard this bike in person. 20 or 100 bucks on a chance for this is awesome!
Good grief, gotta think about this............... .............

PS: Phil, check your PM's.

You may have typed the email address incorrectly by mistake. When I typed it in, it showed that it belongs to Phil (owns the place).

Hey, Fotoguzzi, I'm also in. I will bring it up to your place this summer so you can ride it.
Still waiting for my ticket also.

everyone I know is way into podcasts, and try as I might, I can't find one worth listening to... I will give yours a try. I kicked in several entries, if I win the bike I will listen to every episode :bike-037:
-
I think ya'll oughtta just buy a ticket in my name. CLEARLY this bike is meant to be in my garage. it's like finding the missing other sock...

so do a guy a favor, would ya?

This bike would look nice in my garage, next to my yellow Centauro GT, and would be a "blast" to ride up in Vortex-Land. I might just have to "load" the ol PayPal account and buy some tickets! Much better odds than the lottery!! :cool: :wink: :thumb:

Knowing Phil Waters owner of Cleveland Moto and his dealer has had Demo rides at the Ohio Guzzi Rally in Zanesville for our attendees,
I would Bet it will be "We're drawing the winner at AMA Vintage Days in July (you don't need to be present to win) or as soon as we sell 500 tickets." which ever comes first.
