ONLINE TICKET SALES WILL CLOSE ON THURSDAY 16TH MAY

and thanks a lot folks - over £150 which for a mad idea has done us all proud......

more importantly we have funds in the coffers


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Gio's Shirt?

Ah yes That will be from when we were in the European Superstock
Racing a Mk1 Mille with Alex Martinez riding.

There are probably photos kicking about but at the moment my google search skills are waning

I still have a name or two to add to the list but I will do that later on

Many thanks for all those that have contributed, also remember there will be the opportunity to do so directly at the Marches Meet!

*edit*
names added :smt003

Well here goes, hope they come out ok.

BTW the shirts a bit crumpled as it was last worn about 3 years ago, will suit someone who has a stomach thats slimmer than 34 inches, as i'm a 36 now and it has a 1 inch gap

So There it is a rare Hahahahaha screwed up shirt, that attracts wasps, bees and other nasty bugs.

I think that originally they cost about 20 smackaroos, so it should be worth more :smt006 :smt003


Tim send me an addy and i'll post it 2 you

Shut it you... :smt002

Just to remind those viewing this thread and not having read thru the first few pages... Pay us money for the server fund, get included in the prize draw, to be drawn at the Marches Meet. Nowhere near march the date, March the market town in Cambs and no im not gonna bloody well march about the place..

So, the vaults and archives have been raided and we have some rare items, along with some not so rare bits to raffle off:

Star Prize as this really does say it all -

Image

This is one of only two ever made - the other one is held in the vault at Bag End, Hobbiton-by-ipswich

second, and there are not many of these either -

Image

the actual raffle is for one shirt - the other shirt is being worn by Miss Isle of Wight TT. The shirt is only a large size (but it does fit a broads buddha physique... so most here will find it a good fit... unless you are skinny - if you are start eating pie! - the ridersite motif is embroidered and it is a good quality shirt


We have what is believed to be the last pair of the original Aprilia Ridersite screen stickers

Image

Fourth prize is a brand new Aprilia Performance T Shirt

Image

Crack search admins are scouring the five corners of the world (Thought there were only four? you forgot the fifth corner with squids hat in it....) and we may well have other items to add to the raffle... or for other raffles in the future

***********update*******

Also available will be 2 x Sealskinz Duty Kneelength Combat Socks (Size large uk 9-11) - that will split to 2 prizes of one pair, to share the love.. these rare beasts aren't normally available in civvi street and the equivalent (lesser) sealskinz socks retail @35 quid... a pair....
These make excellent waterproof, breathable biking socks and really are rather splendid.

Image


Also the legendary(ish) AF1 Racing Stickers (pair of) have managed to find a way out of Texas. They will also be there to add to the rather good pile of rarities available for the draw.

Young Nooj crawled off his sick bed - poor lamb has man flu, and has donated a bottle of Cyko bike wash :)

So how can you get a ticket? simples :)

we will be selling them at the marches meet and will make the draw itself on Saturday 18th May - tickets will be £1 each

ONLINE TICKET SALES WILL CLOSE ON THURSDAY 16TH MAY

For those who cannot attend, please donate via this link - https://www.ridersite.com/viewtopic.php?t=5197
Please do say what your email address is so that if you are a winner, we can post the item to you...

may I wish every one luck with this :)

If anyone else has any prizes that would fit into the raffle - drop me or one of the other admins a PM

Oh - final reminder - all the proceeds of this will go directly to ridersite forum costs - currently around £400 a year

As well as the classic and rare RiOT racing Aprilia racing shirt as detailed in Gio's post above

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock
