Rocket-Boy Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Going to be quite something to get that right. Almost like doing your own private Munga.
Sepia Posted April 6, 2017 Author Posted April 6, 2017 Sounds like a scam. Watch out, guys.Not a scam I assure you and I specifically deleted details incase somebody did think it was a scam. Not sure if it is supported or unsupported. Over 200kms/day with 80% gravel for five days is doable but highly unlikely in my book.I will follow this but best of luck to the rider, I am envious of his estimations.
NelAndre Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Yip, it is possible. Is the raffle off if the rider does not make it?
Sepia Posted April 6, 2017 Author Posted April 6, 2017 Yip, it is possible. Is the raffle off if the rider does not make it?No idea about this.Just thought the trip a little daunting.
bikebloke Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 should have just raffled the bike here on the hub with a months lead time at R200 a ticket he would make more money and save himself a sore ass
Mamil Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 No mention of what the funds are to be used for? This looks suspicious to me
EvanB Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 No mention of what the funds are to be used for? This looks suspicious to meThe person is trying to raise eR100k for a well known EC school, not a scam

Odinson Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 The person is trying to raise eR100k for a well known EC school, not a scam That's what all scammer say.
Sepia Posted April 7, 2017 Author Posted April 7, 2017 The person is trying to raise eR100k for a well known EC school, not a scamLooks like EvanB is on top of it. And is correct. I specifically deleted ALL info in this regard in case there were some of those who are trying to get their post count up and throw accusations at whatever it is they think they have in mind. I certainly am not trying to look for donations because I don't care if he makes money or not. My question was as to if it can be done..........it is Friday after all. @Deanbean - for the school up the road from you. Sorry no link.

In this day and age, I would have setup a givengain/backabuddy account, and then apportion raffle tickets according to the donations made. obviously it's possible. but doing it 80% on dirt roads in 1076 looks a bit suspect to. this is where the real challenge comes!

Possible? Of course.When? He might need the standard DWK pep talk. That and some coffee.Do you know who it is?
Sepia Posted April 7, 2017 Author Posted April 7, 2017 Possible? Of course.When? He might need the standard DWK pep talk. That and some coffee.Do you know who it is?Jip, Johan. Know of the bloke and by the sounds of things he will need the DWK pep talk et al. Leaving sometime this month. Trying to raise cash for the old boys association of the school he attended. No link I am afraid and I just have the flyer in this regard.
