\"KLR650\"<\/a>

I just know I'm going to win the KLR650 ABATE is raffling off.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve written before about this KLR650 that ABATE of Colorado is raffling off<\/a>. It looks like my chances of winning it are pretty darn good.<\/p>\n

I was just at my district ABATE meeting today and the raffle was discussed. While they have the possibility of selling 2,500 tickets at $10 apiece, so far they have only sold 324. I have bought three so that gives me a 1 in 108 chance of winning. Compare that to Lotto or Powerball.<\/p>\n

Of course, if ABATE doesn’t sell at least somewhere around 700 tickets they’re going to lose money on the deal. I don’t want them to lose money; I want them to make money. So even though selling more will diminish my chances of winning, I’m passing the word along again so any of you who want to get in on the action can do so.<\/p>\n

What you need to do to enter is go to this page of their website<\/a> and order your tickets online. You’ll pay via PayPal, so you need a PayPal account. Then they’ll mail you your tickets.<\/p>\n

Of course, the truth is, I’d like to see them sell all 2,500 tickets — as long as one of mine is drawn as the winner. And I’ll warn you, I may yet buy a couple more, so my odds will just be that much better. I seriously want a dual-sport bike and I want it this year. I’ve been putting it off for way too long.<\/p>\n

So, really, just forget I said anything. Why throw your money away. They’re going to draw my ticket any . . . Look! A squirrel!<\/p>\n
