    Vote for Best Bike Story

    Hey guys, a guy from another forum I'm on http://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=65388 Needs a little help. 1 year ago, to the day, his life was changed forever in an accident. He's entered a contest to win $500 that will help tremendously with his bills, since he's almost tapped setting up his house for a para-palegic.

    Please take the time to visit the following link and toss him a vote!

    Thanks,

    I cannot believe a HD rider who cannot put a sentence together is ahead of your friend!!! Must be a LOT of people up there with 2 digit IQ scores!!!!
    Tell you friend I at least voted for him, as to me THAT is a TRUE rider!

      Thanks, Ray, and I agree with you about the valley girl sounding HD rider.

      Brian has guts...and a set of brass balls that he must need a wheelbarrow for. I wish I could say that I would have the strength he's shown.

                Hmmm, from 100 votes ahead now to only 60.

                Hmmm, that's odd... seems that you can cast another vote everyday.
