Did You Ever Win....Anything?
Ya'll read that member wilbur just won himself a Red 2011 PCX 125 by entering his dealer's contest. He wasn't even looking to do so, but gave it a shot anyway. BAM! He gets a call later on and wins it That's Sa...weet!
It got me to thinking. I won something sizable once, it was a bicycle. A similar story to wilbur's. I brought my car into be serviced, they had a Red bike on the floor with whitewall tires and seat. They told me to enter. I laughed 'n'said, I never win anything! (Sound familiar?)
I entered a form into their goldfish bowl and left the shop. Came back later, picked up my Cougar and went home. Phone rang a short while later with gent telling me I won. There ya have it!
I won a bike! See that Wilbur, IT CAN HAPPEN!
I will be back later with a photo of My Win!!
Please tell us about "What Have You Won during your stay here on the globe?" I'd like to know and hear your story. If you got a pic of "Your Win," by all means Show Us. Everybody loves to win....Let's do it Again!!

My candidate won the election last thursday, does that count?

gn2, Nooo. You're not playing by the (invisible) rules. Tell us what ye have won during your lifespan (to date). C'mon, you've got to have won something? A horse race perhaps?
I love a fun day at the track..esp. when I win

And you lost the last vote for us. We need independence from Scotland but we don't get a word in it.
Re: Did You Ever Win....Anything?
Never fear the way Westminster is carrying on you'll be independent of us soon enough.

Re: Did You Ever Win....Anything?
Here's the Sym scoot I won at my local club last May. They gave away ten.
I told the staff I was there to win a scooter and did just that. .
Traded it three weeks later for my PCX150.

Re: Did You Ever Win....Anything?
I have only won what was needed, when it was needed. As an example, we were short one week by $100 because we had an emergency for one of our dogs. I bought a lottery ticket for $1, which I paid for with change in my car's ashtray. I won exactly $100 with that lottery ticket. That has been the story of my life. If i don't absolutely need it, i won't win it. But that's fine.
Currently own:
Red 2013 Honda PCX150
Givi tall windshield & tailbox - Lots of extra lights
Custom seat from Thailand - Bad Boy Airhorn
Takegawa Lowering Shocks - Michelin City Grip Tires
Headlight assy upgraded to LEDs w/HS5 main bulbs

Re: Did You Ever Win....Anything?
Just under 39 years ago I paid $100 more for a car than I really wanted to. Two days later I won $100 worth of gas from my local station. I considered it breaking even.

Re: Did You Ever Win....Anything?
I'm exactly the opposite. When I have $100 extra, a $100 cost conveniently shows up (e.g. car battery or alternator died).Mel46 wrote:I have only won what was needed, when it was needed.

I won a guess the weight of the pig competition when I was a kid at our local gala day. The prize was 3lb of bacon!
