A Nepalese friend of mine is raffling off his beloved motorbike to raise funds to send back to his home country following the recent devastating earthquake. It's a Ducati 749. No idea how much it's worth but the point obviously isn't about the bike it's about the gesture. Believe me this bike is his absolute pride and joy and for him to give it away I know how he must feel about this disaster. He's without doubt one of the most generous and pleasant people I've ever had the privilege to meet and I assure you I would've said that long before this particular act of selflessness. As one example he's been single handedly sponsoring an orphanage in Nepal for many years calling all the children there 'his kids'. He's going to be on BBC1 tonight at 6.30pm talking about what he's doing so you can have a look to make sure this is legit. I'm sure he's going to easily make his £5k target before starting the raffle but the more he makes the better it's going to be for him as the guy who's giving up the most. If anyone would like any tickets please let me know and I'll handle collections. I'm sure plenty of people will vouch for me if you don't know me personally. They're £50 for 5 tickets but if anybody wants different multiples it obviously won't be a problem as I'll make it up to the round fifty. Couple of facebook links here for those that have it. https://www.facebook.com/gurkha.kitchen/media_set?set=a.922486421136824.1073741873.100001264242628&type=1https://www.facebook.com/roadcraftnottingham/posts/799360056806472I don't normally get involved in anything like this but given what my friend is giving up I think a few facebook shares and trying to drum up a bit of interest for him is the least I can do. Thanks for reading. |

Bit more info on the bike. If they're drawing the raffle at £5000 worth of tickets then this is one of the fairest raffles you'll ever enter. I'm pretty sure this will sell out as Andeep is such a popular guy and lots of people are supporting him so if you want in let me know asap. |

H that's brilliant mate thank you so much. Andeep will be so happy!! Planning on getting £250 worth of tickets on Friday night (more if needed) and distributing is required. I'll send bank details once I've got the tickets. |

Trev you're a star. That was my plan as well to be honest and I'm sure several others are the same but I can't decide if it's the best way forward. I know that Andeep's goal in this is to raise as much money as possible to send out there so possibly auctioning the bike would be best and donating the cash raised. Also as he's capping this at £5k worth of tickets maybe it would be best to donate the tickets back if he sells out? I guess that's one to think about if it happens. My plan was to get about £200 worth myself so with £100 of pledges on here and a few more from facebook friends it looks like I'll be buying at least £300 |

I've just been chatting to Russ who's a friend of Andeep's helping him organising the raffle. It seems demand for the tickets has been really good and it looks like selling the £5k worth too easily. I was wondering from the start why he'd capped it and now that they look like easily getting there it's given them a dilemma. Anyway the youtube clip below explains it all. If any of you guys want out let me know by PM. I won't out you don't worry  |

Just chatting to Russ again (the guy on the youtube videos) Apparently he already has £5k in his paypal account so the "value" I mentioned is long gone |
