    It's been almost 15 yrs since I did the" Custom Barnacle Bill Suit For 5.00" thread and I am seriously thinking about doing something similar for another cause to sort of try and right a wrong that was done to a bunch of kids and the families that support them. I have to think about how I'm going to present this so I probably had better sleep on it but I would appreciate a little feedback . For those of you that's going to go to the old thread remember it's 15 yrs old. all the best and good night for now. b bill and darethea

    Sounds like a raffle of sorts to me...... $5 buy-in's and in the end a drawing is made and winner gets a BB custom suit?

    Chris is still hanging in there .. he has more tenacity than most adults I know. still the perpetual 6 year old. I'l tell him that you asked about him next time I see him.

    Yes, that is about exactly what it is . I will go into more details when it's a go and it's launched but it is for a good cause and every cent donated will go there. because of inflation the minimum donation will be 10.00 this time but someone is going to get the last Barnacle Bill suit that's ever built in any format track, roadrace, drag race or flat track . I know my hourglass has a lot more sand in the bottom of it than it does in the top but I still have another suit in me that I want someone to have and I want it to be something special and I'll need my motorcycling friends to help make it so and we'll be helping a bunch of kids overcome a great disappointment . I would really like to get about 1000 participants but all are welcome to join in . b bill

    Granted I don't make the rules around here but I would think that because it's for a good cause and because you are OG around here and not just trolling for exposure he will be good with it.

    Morning Bill. Finally tried my suit on last night and it fits perfect and looks amazing...you did a fantastic job and I look forward to wearing it for real in a couple of weeks. And I'm in for the raffle:D
    Hope to come hang with you when things quiet down a bit...Kelly

    Let us know the cause as soon as you can. I'm in for a donation even if I don't need a suit.

    I'm in and dibbs on the suit, with an additional donation in your name, should you win it.

    Can we update where to send the donations and do we still make the payment information out to Barnacle Bill c/o the kid's name?

    If I should win (unlikely), I'll sell it on the beeb for a reasonable price and donate 100% to Bill's cause.

    He’s busy destroying road racing, not well-intended charity. If he were to scuttle this, Ev would, well, let’s not go there. :D
