Bkizz Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 check from my aunt got here today...got a $100 for ya on monday brian!!how're we doing so far?Awesome! That would bring the total to $466...about 1/3 of the way there. Donations have still been a little slow going but I will be at bike night on Wednesday (weather permitting) with some flyers and shirts. Hopefully I can get some people to throw in for a good cause. I have the rear of the bike down to the frame right now so I can take pics and send them to Lee, the guy making the kit. He wants to make sure I am getting all the right spacers and parts. I'm crossing my fingers this works!! Scratch that, it WILL work. I am bound and determined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gen3flygirl Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 OKay I have ze money and logged into my paypall who or what do I need to find to send the donation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 hit "send money" then send it to bkinney@student.cscc.eduhit personal, and select "Gift"first few times i did it, it didnt make me pay a fee, but this time it did...so you have to option to pay extra for the fee, or have the fee deducted from the donation...its a little over 3 percent, nothing crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkizz Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 donation sent! - from my aunt in arizonaGot it! Tell her thanks again. Thanks guys! Money sent.Thanks Krystyn! I really appreciate it. All right, here's the deal. I talked to Lee, the designer of the kit yesterday. He looked over all the pics I sent of my frame and said it will work, no problem. Great news! Here's the thing...if I see any chance of this happening in the near future, I need to plunk down some cash to get the ball rolling. I am sending him a check for $1800 out of the foundation today. As I said before, this does not cover the electronic shifter. He gave me the # of the place that sells it. I just have to get a hold of them and order one. That is $600. Right now, I have $481.05 in paypal and hopefully, the $100 from Moose will show up soon. This is about enough to get the shifter so hopefully, I can get that ordered too. Anyone wanna make a quick donation!?! wink wink nudge nudge. Also good news, I just signed the contract last night to begin building my new handicapped accessible home! It was nerve racking signing my life away but I think this will be a great way to finally be fully independent. I looked at a lot of houses and all of them needed major changes to be usable so building new is a much better option. With this being said, I could really use that $1800 back! Hopefully I can make it to bike night tomorrow if the weather doesn't suck. I really really want to get a ride together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You da man! also let me know when you need help with rehab work, or if you need assistance with building something...Well, I already know I will need a ramp built in my garage. I'm keeping your # handy!! OK guys, good news. Once I receive that check in the mail, the shifter is OFFICIALLY PAID FOR!! Unfortunately, it is more than $600 but I found it on this site for a decent deal. They are $750 from Pingel themselves. http://www.solomotoparts.com/product.php?productid=30186&utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Froogle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cleaned the hell out of my bike over the weekend and it is blingin'. Paul (Attack painter) has the fairings right now so that's pretty cool too! It's all coming together.
