You could request all you want. It would be an individual choice to give or not. Hell...People could start doing it now. All you would have to do is put up a post pleading your case with a paypal address and if guys thought you were worth while you'd get the duckets...If they think you are a scam you wouldn't. I know I'd be looking a the threads and posts they had put up since being on this site just to see where there head is at B4 I'd kick em and $$$$.
I've given people chit here (parts and a few collectables) just because they seemed decent

Ever try Tequila and Monster. I call it the Monsterita. Very potent but very fun.

Very true. But those would be the ones that sit there forever. A ridiculous request wouldn't receive the 'give a s--t' level as someone that REALLY needs something. (e.g. new rings vs. someone wanting a new $900 seat)

Not everyone will give -- ESPECIALLY to someone just 'wanting' something opposed to 'needing' something.

Worth a shot I say- just watch for panhandlers.

Sounds like a great ideal if people wouldnt try to take advantage of it. Most of all of us have hard times every now and then. They are hard times and then they are good times.

Nope but I'm heading to 7-11 to grab the wife smokes and I'll be sure to grab some MONSTER as I already have the Patron up in the cabinet...

Thanks for the suggestion!

I just put my money behind it. I started a string here

I will be donating $25 to whomever might post their story. I really hope it helps another rider get back on the road faster.
