You are not going to believe this!!! (from General thread)

You are not going to believe this!!!
We are Phoenx Suns (basketball) season ticket holders, and tonight was the last home game of the season. They were doing a bunch of give-a-ways, and one (the grand prize) being a brand new Harley Davidson motorcycle. I got the call late Friday evening that I was one of the 12 finalists and they instructed us on where to meet, etc.

We missed the whole first quarter of the game, but in between quarters was the drawing. Tim & I went out to center court with the others and then the Gorilla (the mascot) came out on the bike. Then they drew the name.........and they called
MY name!!!!!

For those of you who don't know me, I stand 4' 4" tall and the Gorilla had to pick me up and put me on my new bike! Tim said the crowd went wild.......I really don't remember much after they said my name, I think my heart stopped and I couldn't catch my breath!!

Tomorrow I have to call them to get all the information, but right now I should go to bed, but for some reason I'm wide awake!!

They took pictures, so as soon as I get them, I will post them for all of you to see.

OMG, WHAT am I going to do with this thing??!!

How cool is that!? I wouldn't know what do to with one either but that is a BIG prize to win! Congratulations! I guess if you guys dont ride then you could always sell it.

4' 4" huh? I'm 4' 11" and I sure can see why you couldn't get on the bike!

Being vertically challenged myself I have no doubt that I could not get on the thing either without some help, but I don't know about a Gorilla!!!

CONGRATULATION!! That is a great win!! I would take it and trade it in for a new car! Some of those are very expensive and cost as much as a new car! Wow! I would have been totally stunned!! Then fainted! Woke up, had a heart attack and died!

**Tubby & Peanut's Mom** · 04-19-2005, 10:15 AM

Wow, cool!!! Can't wait to see the pictures!! I have never won anything like this so I can only imagine how stunned and surprised you are! What kind of Harley? You may or may not remember that I used to have one so I can't wait to hear more details.....once you go to bed and let this all sink in for awhile.

Congrats!!! That is really cool, and a pretty funny story too.

**Uabassoon** · 04-19-2005, 12:44 PM

Congrats! I can't imagine how exciting that must have been! Are you going to keep the bike or sell it? LOL I would sell it because I'm also too small to handle a bike like that, but I'd only sell if after taking TONS of pictures of me sitting on it

**AlleyCat** · 04-19-2005, 03:25 PM

put it on ebay! you'll definitely sell it. but only, like all the others said already, AFTER you've posed on it for a gazillion pixs!

If you don't want to become a biker mamma

you could always sell it! Probably what I would do . . . not sure what a harley is worth, but I'd say it would make a nice down payment on a new car . . . (that's what I want!)

Apparently is was not on TV, we had friends and family watching. Although when it was happening they were taping and taking pictures, we are susposed to be getting some pictures pretty soon, will post them.

I should send in a picture to Jay Leno, thanks Gary, never thought of that!!

Sorry Michael, I'm too old to be a "biker-babe". But when I was younger I kinda hung out with some of those people

(so now you know my secret past!!
