Auction for Richard at the V!!!

Some of Richard's friends have organized an auction for him at the Vortex this Thursday, June 20. All of the proceeds will go toward paying Richard's hospital and rehab bills.

For those who don't already know, the Vortex is a restaurant/bar in Little Five Points in Atlanta. Cool place- I finally got there for bike night (Thursdays) several weeks ago and was surprised how many people I knew.

Local businesses have donated items, and they include:

FM Helmets (2) courtesy MARMO
Teknic Race Gloves
Couple of Salad Bowl Helmets, painted and plain

Also, businesses who are donating include:

Performance Powersports
Ken's Motorcycle Tires
GMD Computrack

That is not a complete list, but it gives you an idea. The auction will start around 9:00 pm. It's a great chance to hang out, meet fellow racers and riders, and help support Richard! If you can go, please do so- it should be fun.

Thanks!

 

Beth,

Are you planning to post photos from Talli this weekend? I'd like to see who else had the P-Star stickers on their bikes.

 

Sean, I must caution you .... in that part of town, you don't want to ask for something of that description ... "it" might come up to you and say "hello big boy ... I heard you wanted me."

 

I'll be there, TIW. When is Richard coming home? I want to go see him at his house and help out if possible. Life has been pretty crazy for me here lately with work and other things so I didn't get a chance to come see him in Savannah. Can you e-mail me his home number. I had it in my other phone but that one is gone. Shoot the e-mail to me at work and home. work is [email protected]. Thanks!!

 

snicker snicker

Does anyone have directions to the place?

(the site hasn't been updated in a while)

Check out the 6' long picture above the bar and try to see how many WERA mugs there are!
Look for: Buff and Jason, Special Ed, Llyod Horton, and of course me and Rikki!!

I have one of the prints down my hallway in the house.

 

Mongo- I don't know who is responsible for the auction, but I know Elmo is hleping- he's the one who told me about it and asked me to post info on the BBS. I'll email you his info so you can get in touch.

John- Richard won't be home for a while. As soon as a bed opens up at the Sheppard Center, he will be transferred there for about 2 weeks of rehab. I'm sure he would love for you to come and visit him there. Tom or I will post details as we get them. Richard is sick of being in the hospital already and is pretty stir crazy.

So, I'm starting to think that maybe I should come for this auction. I could bring PStar stickers and take pictures of any streetriders who care to run them. Maybe the V would even put one up somewhere that I could get a shot of? Is anyone willing to let me crash with them that night?

 

Cool, thanks.

I don't think I'll be able to drive by and miss it. LOL!

 

Rikki, Titan, Solo, Gordon and I would be honored to offer you our double Futon.

The fliers they passed out last week stated that the festivites will start at 7:30pm. On a normal Thursday there are anywhere from 100-200 bikes, so tomorrow I am sure there will be quite a few more. I recommend getting there as early as possible. It should be an awesome evening.

 

If anyone needs a place to lay there head, there is an extra bed at my place just give me a call and let me know if it is needed. 404-234-6513

 

bump de bump

thanks!

 

I'll be there if the Mrs. gets to feeling better. She's got a nasty fever right now. I may ride down by myself if she feels like taking care of Colin....

All racers are my brothers and sisters.

I won't be able to make it. I've got a final at school tomorrow and was told that even if I finish early I won't be able to leave until normal time.

 

That sucks, Paige! Maybe once Richard's home you can cut his hair for him while he's recovering.

I will be at the Vortex tonight! I've got a ton of work to do between now and when I hit the road, but I'll be there. I'll be passing out PStar stickers and taking pics! (And looking my squidliest!)

 

I'd love to be there but I'm on my way to CMP after work today. Good luck with the auction.

 

Even though I don't drink, I'll try to make it there. Do they have non-alcohol brews? Hope the auction starts a little later in the evening.

 

yeah, they got milk for guys like you!!!!! you should be on the way to CMP

 

I think they actually have two non-alc beers.
But they certainly have a wide selection of sodas.
