The USS Milwaukee Softail Slim S should have been

A 10 dollar raffle and the winner could have pick it up at any navy base near their home . Instead of being sold to the highest bidder.

If the raffle ran from now until say next Veterans Day and tickets were sold at all Harley dealers in the USA . I think it would have generated well over $250,000 dollars easily.

The info is also on this forums secret home page .

I want to wish the organization good luck in the raffle of this bike. And to the future owner more good luck. Seems the fleet of LCS class ships have been having major casualties (breakdowns) with large repair bills. Hope that doesn't reflect on the bike.
