kick my butt....please
I've posted this in the general discussion forum as well (sorry for the crosspost).
Our friend Lucklust (Torrin Arnold) is planning on doing the Aids/Life Cycle ride to San Francisco in June on a fixed gear. He was recently struck by a car apparently driven by a drunk driver, but still intends to do the ride. His setback because of his injuries have prompted me to get off my butt and exercise my plastic.
I'm challenging everyone on the board to meet or exceed my donation of $50 USD in support of this cause and Torrin's testículos grandes in doing the ride (or even if his doc locks him in a closet so he can't do it). If you don't have any 50 bones you can put up, do what you can.
Visit https://www.aidslifecycle.org/1948 to support this worthy cause and a dedicated cyclist.
If you would like to meet this challenge, please post a response in the general cycling forum so we can get some momentum going...

I would rather throw lucklust 20 bucks to help defray his medical costs or to buy him some alcohol than give to aids ride. Cyclists > aids victims, at least to me.
Tell me where to paypal my 20 bucks, will buy him a few beers at least

Thanks everybody. I'm amazed that there are so many good people out there. The cycling community seems to be pretty damn supportive.

You can read my general reply here... https://www.bikeforums.net/general-cycling-discussion/52222-kick-my-butt-please.html
I also wanted to add that you fixed riders are the ones that are making this happen. I don't even know what to say...
...(insert heartfelt, poignantly comical, tearjerking soliloquy here)...
...and that is all I have to say about that.

How much is shipping on a bike to continental USA? Just curious, odds of me purchasing a custom bike are, well not bad, eventually, but in the near future the same as the odds of me winning the lottery.
And Will, when you get the bike we are gonna want to see pics.

You should see my new Tephra. All I need is for the LBS to finish my friggin' wheels and I'll be riding this bad boy this weekend. It's pearl orange. It's steel. It has all black parts. Yummayyyyy.
Will is doing navy man type sh1t atm, so it might be the end of the week before he checks his inbox and sees a pretty colour rendering of what his bike could look like. Hopefully he'll post it here so you guys can all exercise your right as armchair critics to bag the crap out of it

BTTT, come on guys, I know there's some deep pockets out there. Let go of some of that dough and help a fellow "fixer" out. You can do without that new stem for another month.

C'mon people, I loose my email and internet connection today. I'd like to at least see Torrin get some more change towards his minimum.
Or don't donate, really. But the truth being, it's more than about AIDS, it's about helping out others.

I bought PBR 30's and saved $30 against what I usually spend on beer. I gave it to Torrin's cause. I am sure this can be done by others. Got Paypal? So does Torrin. No excuses...

Fundraising Goal: $2500
Current Total: $547
If you just read the above and have done nothing to make the lower number closer to the higher number (and you have the means to), then you suck. I am not very good at this kind of thing, but $10-15 is really not that much for most. Think about it, and then agree that Torrin's cause is a good one.

Keep it coming folks.

The incredibly stupid part of this, is that if we all donated to those less fortunate, and we all distributed the wealth evenly around the world, we'd realise we all make about 30 bucks a week.
As 165 would say - "Where's the progredior?"
