The Flin Flon Motorcycle Association (FFMA) wants you to. The group is raffling off one of the rare bikes, valued at $36,000, to raise money for the Children's Wish Foundation and motorcycle safety education programs. "This is the last year Harley is making this model," said FFMA President Paul Garrett. "Dealers are scrambling for it." This is the 11th consecutive year that the FFMA will be holding a motorcycle raffle. In that time, Garrett estimates, the group has donated more than $35,000 to the Wish Foundation. That money has gone toward making the wishes of a sick children in Northern Manitoba come true. One wish sent a Thompson child to Disney World. The draw (featuring second and third prizes of $500 and $250 respectively) will be held on May 24 during the FFMA social at the Creighton Community Hall. More information may be obtained from any FFMA member. In the meantime, the lustrous bike is on display in the window of ScotiaBank. Ð J.N.
