Usually when we do a benefit ride there will be some sort of auction or raffle. My favorite is a chinese auction. This is where there is a big table with items on it that will be given away. Each item is numbered and has a small box next to it with the same number on it. You buy tickets and place them into any boxes corresponding with the items you would like to try to win.
I almost always win some stuff. There have been days that I have wondered how I would get all my winnings on my bike to bring them home. I've always been able to manage so far. I'm glad I have a big bike. Since Cooper is always on my back seat, I have to fit everything either in or on my trunk.
So far I've won things like gift certificates, hats, sunglasses, note cards, helmets, tool bags, bike wash and detailing kits, a cool looking toilet seat, a back yard sprinkler shower, shirts, travel mugs, blankets, games, a sham wow, Dunkin' Donuts gift cards, a Starbucks basket, pounds of coffee from either of the two previous stores, and MORE that I can't remember as of now.
I think I like to win gift certificates most because it's a direct money turn around, but I have to say... I really do like the items I've won. My toilet seat is quite a conversational piece.
