Serious technical proplems! HELP!!!!
Hi guys!
I'm posting this thread because one of our fellow members here needs serious help from everyone to be able to ride again.
Here's the story:
BigLevG, 22 yrs old, now paralized waist down after a crash 2 years ago wants to get back on his TLR.
He needs this specially (Lee Beaver) designed kit that'll cost him $1500 and has been trying to raise the money himself over the last year but has had some difficulties with it. He's been let down by several people who offered help before and has been put off because they had 'better' things to do. As you can imagine this guy has been through a lot the last few years and can use some positive input. He's selling some parts to help raise the funds needed, you can read some more information in his thread were it has been suggested to help BigLevG get back on two wheels.
I know it's difficult for everyone right now but if everyone chips in even a few bucks (1, 2, 5, 10, 20 or more; one less beer tonight or take a shortcut home to save some gas) he'll be back on his bike before the summer!
Here's BigLevG's Paypal address: biglevg@aol.com
What happened to BigLevG could have happened to any of us. So far he raised $40 so there's a long way to go.... All donations welcome!

I did of course. I really hope some more peeps chip in. Getting a fellow rider back on his bike after an accident like this is priceless.

Thanks man. $3 is better than nothing. Even if everyone gave $1, it would still be something. I thought about puttin it all ebay, but I heard they raised the prices and Id have to pay so much for every part. So not sure how much it would cost me
