I donated you 78.947368% of what was in my account.... and I literally have no money in my bank account.

They say every little bit helps... I guess.

Id like to see a celebrity give 78.9% of whats in their account to a good cause.

Id donate only my step brother managed to let my bike get stolen a few weeks ago and im still saving myself for one, as I thought it would be cruel to charge him lol.

Yeah I was the one that donated $17.05 lol.... I had 30 dollars left in there a couple months back and I ended buying something that was 12.95. So the $17.05 was the remainder. Sadly my bank has issues with transferring money to paypal without giving me the ***runaround, so the only time I have money in the account is when I sell something online (used to be FFXI gil mostly).

Gonna make my trip to the bank soon. Just waiting for the sun to set, cause it's too damned hot to walk there and back in this desert heat. Think it peaked at like 109° today D:

Hey guys, thank you very much for all the help. I just got back from getting my new bike. I'll be sure to take pics tomorrow.

I wish I could have gotten on earlier, just stepped in the door now, got a few more donations than I needed. I guess I can invest in a good lock or something/a tune up. You guys can definitely stop now though I have enough for the bike, no more donations are needed

My friend spotted me up front since paypal will take a few days to transfer the funds and then I can pay her back.

You guys were really a huuuuge help I didn't know what I was gong to do in a week when school started.

Definitely will do. Went with the blue one by the way guys. The red one's response time on shifting was too slow for my liking.

Glad to hear you raised the money so fast! I had planned to donate but waiting for PayPal to verify the funds transfer doesn't appear to be the fastest thing in the world. :/

I'd consider a thick vinyl coated cable to lock it up with over chain. The cable is braided and bolt cutters have a lot harder time working through it than they do with most types of chain.

If you do go with chain, a lock like this or this would be your best bet, because it makes it nearly impossible to reach the shackle of the lock with any sort of cutters. Unfortunately, they don't offer a LOT of clearance, so you're stuck using a smaller chain, which can kind of defeat the purpose, because they can just cut the chain, too.

Either way, good luck and hopefully it won't happen again!

Good ***. Yeah definitely use the extra cash on a sturdy cable and lock (assuming there's enough).

The world is yours again.

Tossed a bit your way, but forgot to put anything in the paypal transaction details. I guess you're probably getting a bunch of those today though :)

Good luck on putting together enough for a new bike. I had a bike stolen once, it sucks.

Edit: Oh you already had enough lol. Oh well, buy a buttload of ramen or somethin.

I've been getting rained on all week, I'll try to get some as soon as I clean it up a bit. Dirt splashing all up on the frame and such(and potential tropical storm/hurricane next week. Getting to school will be fun). Been meaning to take some pics with me on it though. It's holding u pretty well though it was used, so the back tire is a bit wore on the thread. Was actually on my way out the door and to the bike shop to get that taken care of before it takes care of itself when I'm 14 miles out from my house.

Glad to see youre making due, man.

People over here in polk are going nuts about this storm. Chief had a few yards of sand delivered to a few stations across the county, an they put 2 guys at each of those stations on 8hours of OT just to fill sand bags. I work right off of I-4, and we got our mobile san dune last night, and people have been coming from all over to prepare to entrench themselves. I can imagine I-4 will be a riot when it hits. We had a rollover this morning near fantasy of flight, and the skies were clear...gonna be interesting to say the least.

Lol Tuesday was pretty bad over here in terms of storming. Got caught on that while I was on us-19.


Sidenote: Saw 2 guys on road bikes last night keeping a pretty good pace, so I decided to ride up and hold their pace and when they saw me, they sped up, which initialized the fun. Lol ended up smoking both of them
