theres a fella i know.. an old 1%er , that mellowed with yrs.. he has done without a bike for many yrs.. not long ago he lost his wife & soulmate to cancer.. he's hung in there very well.. he is a great brother, you guys would like him alot.. we recently began collecting cash to get him back up on 2 wheels.. the man is my age or older .. he was very humbled by our efforts & was short on words.. most of us arent used to such help.. we do what we can for ourselves.. any way i'm strongly considering the starting of a collection for him here.. you need not hock the family farm.. just help however you can.. i know times are hard , but most of you know i never ask things for myself & that i'd do this for any of you if need be.. anyone have any thoughts .. would you folks be willing to help a lil' bit.. let me know . here, thru a p.m. , or my email .. whatever we collect would be donated on behalf of the members at chopperforums..

i posted this in the special projects as that is exactly what it is .. thank you..

Been thinking about this Dave, I think it would be a good idea to offer members a $1, $5, $10, $20 or other offer via PayPal, you may get a bit more help for this brother.

i havent decided to do this here for sure yet, our forum is young & i dont want members to be thinking we are hitting them for funds .. we are collecting thru pay-pal already.. we have raise a good bit already.. a coupla of us on another board started this, the man wasnt aware of our actions til it was on ..with bike price at an all time low, we WILL get the man on a bike again.. we have successfully helped others in the past, we can do it again..

Morning Dave,
I don't have much, but I'd be willing to build him a trike[custom][vw or other] for him to get back on the road, I know he probably wants 2 wheels, but at my age 3 wheels is more fun and don't have to worry bout not putting the foot down at the redlite,grinn. and falling over.
If this helps, let me know and I'll see bout getting it done,[where does this Brothr live?]

i havent decided to go forward yet, thus far his sites members have been very good.. we have collected a nice piece of change.. i dont want to shy members here away with the thought we want something from them.. not everyone knows us well yet , or realizes we have good character, & that our motives on things like this are true.. we have successfully put folks on bikes on other sites in the past .. i realize that we cant put everyone on a bike or trike , but every once in a while you run across someone deserving of such an act .. & the man in mind here is very much deserving of such an act of brotherhood.. i thank you for your offer cw1 , & you too josh , but we will wait for now..
