Hey sorry, ladies and gents for getting your hopes up on the raffle.  I saw it on another ducati board http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=18787.0 and thought it was a great idea.  That was before researching it an all, so ended up being a legal disaster apparently.  Well, bike is still up for sale so if you're interested let me know.  Ride on 

Define legal disaster?

Link doesn't work. 

the admins deleted all of my postings and said that the dmf might be held accountable if things went south on the raffle    I know this deviates very largely from the norm and I've never heard of something like this before.  Thought it would be a sweet idea.

Yup, it would. 

Aw shucks, I was hoping to get in for 5.  Damn/bless those flounders...  Can't really get your hands on an S2R for $250 anywhere else.

Or for $50.

Ummm, Just host a site on godaddy.com for the raffle.

Link it here. DMF no longer liable, you get your money, someone gets a great deal, everyone is happy.

You don't even need to host a site.  Just set something up on Google Sites for free.  You're collecting money via Paypal so you just need to update the site occasionally with the ticket count. 

And i reckon that advice is worth a ticket. 

Hah!  Ok, I'll look into it.  I have two people coming by to check out the bike this weekend, hopefully not tire kickers.  If things go well I'll just sell it, if not, the google site is a great idea.  I'll keep you posted.

someone explain the legal issues. me no entiendo?

How much you asking... Just curious

7500 on Craigslist, 7K for dmf'ers, possible also for trade of lower value bike plus cash monies

They're illegal unless you're a non-profit.  Here's the FAQ from the Attorney General's website.

And there you have it, was a fun ride for a day  ...  Sorry guys/gals for gettting your hopes up on a $50/$250 monster
