FIRST OF ALL I AM NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH THIS SITE, I RECEIVE NOTHING IN RETURN AS A RESULT OF POSTING THIS. I met this gentleman a couple years ago, shortly after, he found out his one year son, Dominic was sick. He’s a stand up father and hes been dealt a truly sad hand. If you could please take a second and look over his site and maybe even hit the donate button, IT WOULD FOR CERTAIN, GO TO A GOOD CAUSE. That being said, the bike is at Gabels on hertel, being displayed at the Italian Festival, if you’d like to go down and check it out. A little snipit from the [www.dominicsday.com](http://www.dominicsday.com) > On July 26th 2007, our son’s pediatrician and cardiologist both referred us to the Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh for another series of tests > for his heart, and also to secure a second opinion. They told us that Dominic’s HCM was quite significant and put him in the 97th percentile. > The muscle of Dominic’s (ventricular septum of his) heart was almost **three times** larger than it should be. This meant that we truly only had > one treatment option left. Dominic could expect to get up to 5 years with his current heart… we must accept the possibility of a transplant… > We were now forced to face the first real task as parents. > > From there, during the long drive home, the news hung heavily in the car, but was eventually turned into inspiration. We knew there had to be a > way to be proactive…to rally a community around a beautiful boy that deserves the chance to spread his smile all over the world. After a small > benefit that a dear friend organized in Florida,we were inspired to carry on. Within just a couple of weeks, the event was being planned and > this site was begun. Thank you for being a part of our journey. We truly hope you are with us for a long time to come. There are many children > that could use someone’s help; because of this, we will not stop helping them fight. > > We will NOT stand idly by, waiting for something to happen…WE ARE MAKING IT HAPPEN… and now you are too… thank you. ---

Thanks to all that have voted, from me, and more importantly, his family. I pray that this never happens to anybody else that I know. (also, D, it will be funny to see you ride a sport bike. :lol: \<3) ---

well thanks, btw the bike will be at canal fest tomorrow. D, I think by donating you automatically get a ticket. (If over $20) regardless, thanks. And if you DOOOO win, you can delete that silly thread about wanting a summer toy. (a 1000rr can hold a baby seat just fine) ---
