bongobobny Posted October 14, 2013 #26 Posted October 14, 2013 I buy MANY raffle tickets with prizes I have absolutely no use for. Some might call it a donation....It's because Jack has won more than one trailer!
Black Owl Posted October 14, 2013 #27 Posted October 14, 2013 ...It's because Jack has won more than one trailer! Too funny.
Condor Posted October 14, 2013 #28 Posted October 14, 2013 ...It's because Jack has won more than one trailer! And upon advise I flew to Vegas and lost my a$$.. .Even a blind squirrel will find an acorn once in a while.....
slowrollwv Posted October 14, 2013 #29 Posted October 14, 2013 How about an all expense paid trip to the next International Rally where ever it might be.
Guest Posted October 16, 2013 #31 Posted October 16, 2013 I have never attended the INTL rally but usually have purchased trailer raffle tickets anyway. (besides, my HF kit is still in the box, 4 years later). That being said and possibly eliminating the hassle of locating, paying for and transportation a trailer to the winner, maybe the 50/50 suggestion has some merit. Cash is always good. Besides, Condor dont need any more trailers.......
Riderduke Posted October 16, 2013 #32 Posted October 16, 2013 How about an all expense paid trip to the next International Rally where ever it might be. I like this Idea.... I've never been to a INTL rally. Usually too pricey for me, between the registration fees, hotel and gas. Then being self employed I'm not making any money when I'm away. It gets expensive. If I could win the Hotel and Registration fees then I more apt to come. This seams to be cheaper the buying a trailer and could award more the one person the prize. Just my
Brake Pad Posted October 16, 2013 #33 Posted October 16, 2013 On my trip up to Galena, I stayed at KOA Campgrounds, most of my trip both ways. I stayed in the a/c cabins. I bought my dinner just before I got to the campgrounds, with a small bag of charcoal, I had dinner, the comforts of home, and my coffee pot. it was the cheapest way to travel. My KOA's were pretty equal to my gas used for the whole trip. Now splitting the Campground, makes it that much better. The Cabins can hold up to 4 people:thumbsup2: Less to put out.

This seams to be cheaper the buying a trailer and could award more the one person the prize. Just my After being involved with trailer at Intnational last year, I found that there are a lot of people that make donations to the drawing but are unable to attend. This would make hotel accomidations a turn off for those that could not be present. The donation value of hotel accomidations would be limited, unlike what a trailer is if winner didn't want it, and entered just to help the VR site. I would suggest a tiered cash award prize ala 50/50 but with at least 3 winners. I do think there would be more people prone to enter for a cash prize rather than tangible items like a trailer, gps, clothing etc. Peolple in general are very good at spending cash. The trailer concept is appealing to a lot less people than say $750 1st prize would be. Gary

And as I said earlier, economic times being what they are I suspect a lot more folks would be interested.
Trader Posted October 16, 2013 #37 Posted October 16, 2013 I've only been to the one IR.....Galena this year. But I'm of a like mind with MarCarl....(as scary as that is)...the prize table part was pretty slow. That is not a complaint to the organizers. I think they did an amazing job But it is the process itself. An hour of restricted talking so everyone can hear while numbers are called out is boring. Do we really need prizes of what seemed to be 100 T'shirts....one at a time? (I won 2) I'd much rather see fewer, larger prizes.....and MORE FIRST GEN!!!!!
bongobobny Posted October 16, 2013 #38 Posted October 16, 2013 What, we're giving away a 1st gen next year???
Huggy Posted October 16, 2013 #39 Posted October 16, 2013 what about some products that are sold by members of the forum?

We had a bunch of fun at the Cody'11 raffle. 4 tables of great prizes.
Black Owl Posted October 16, 2013 #43 Posted October 16, 2013 We had a bunch of fun at the Cody'11 raffle. 4 tables of great prizes. And if I remember correctly, a good 90% of them were donated.
Condor Posted October 16, 2013 #44 Posted October 16, 2013 And if I remember correctly, a good 90% of them were donated. Yep!!
star4772 Posted October 16, 2013 #45 Posted October 16, 2013 You know we are all getting older as the years pass, so we need something that we can use when we get to that age when, WE FORGET TO PUT OUR FEET DOWN WHEN WE STOP TO KEEP FROM FALLING OVER. SO I VOTE FOR A GIFT CERTIFACATE FOR A HANAGAN TRIKE KIT. Dixie :rotf:

Missionary Rider Posted October 16, 2013 #48 Posted October 16, 2013 What, we're giving away a 1st gen next year??? Even this preacher would buy a ticket for that!
Black Owl Posted October 16, 2013 #49 Posted October 16, 2013 Why not a collection to buy me a new/old bike? The way mines going it'll never get on the road!!!! You're about 7 years late. We already been there and done that. Twice if my memory is correct.
