So I just got an email from the PBTF, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (it's quite real, they didn't show up to my house and ask for money, lol) about a Ride For Kids raffle to benefit the little guys. Grand prize is a new BMW motorcycle, $1500 in gear, $1500 in accessories, a two-day riding school, transportation, hotels, and meals for four days, fuel for the bike for the first 600 miles, free break-in service for your new bike, and the chance to meet and greet your very own BMW technician. The whole deal is worth close to $20,000 and tickets are $40, or three for $100--plus a free T-shirt if you buy three.

This is all thanks to Bob's BMW in Maryland, so Jay, you should run by there and tell us how awesome it would be to have a new F800S, F800ST, or F800GS. Help the kids people!

And it's not too late to also buy raffle tickets for the custom Roland Sands CBR1000RR, valued at $30k. Tickets for that are only $5 or five for $20. I bought five and damn sure I'm gonna get three for the Beemer. Woot!
