Jerome, WMRRA #914 of "Hello Kitty" bike fame (aka Tokin) needs some new leathers, and he's graciously offered to let us choose the color if we all pitch in.

A custom suit usually runs about $1400 - that may seem like a lot, but in actuality it's chump change. $1400, divided by 70 forum members (there are ten thousand here!) is only $20 each!

Help donate to this noble fund. I've set up a paypal you can send money to: tokinspinkleathers@live.com . As soon as I figure out how to post up a simple "click on this to donate $20" link, it'll be here. For now, go to www.paypal.com, and hit "Send Money" and fill in that link.

Accountability: That account will be SOLELY for the use of purchasing tokin a new set of leathers. If in the unfortunate case something falls through, I will refund any and all monies received to it. Paypal charges a 4% fee for receiving money - I will cover this difference. 4% on $1400 is only $56, I figure I can take that hit.

I'll update this thread as the collection plate progresses!

CURRENT TOTAL: $850

Top donators:
If you don't see your handle and you've donated, PM me and I'll get it fixed!
I've put the initials of people who donated but who I couldn't match up to forum nicknames.

Bump! We've passed halfway and raised a total of $850 so far - all we need is a few hundred more to reach the goal! I'm gonna start getting in touch with leather suppliers this next week to see if we can get a deal, too :)
