How some giveaways really work
Shared drawings
Most giveaways in this directory are what they look like: one operator, one bike, one drawing. A few are not.
In a shared drawing, several storefronts each advertise what appears to be their own bike giveaway — but every entry sold, on every one of those sites, goes into the same pool. There is one winner across all of them, and that winner usually picks one vehicle from a shared menu or takes cash instead.
That matters for a simple reason: the page you are buying from shows you one bike and its own entry counts, which is not the size of the field you are actually competing against. None of the storefronts we have examined disclose this.
We list these giveaways rather than hide them — they are real, and you can enter them — but every listing that belongs to one is badged, and links here.
2026 CAMTB Fall Dreambike Giveaway
One drawing, sold through a network of California trail organizations. Each chapter posts the same Ibis giveaway on its own site with its own donation link, and every link feeds the same campaign, the same $8,999 winner's-choice prize and the same September 26 drawing. The chapters publish a 75/25 split of donations made through their link, so the page you enter through changes where the money goes, not your odds.

Throttle Addiction TA16 "Win a Chopper"
One drawing for one bike, with entries earned at two storefronts: Throttle Addiction's own shop and its partner store Chop Cult. Buying at either feeds the same entry pool and the same on-or-about November 1 drawing for the custom 2005 Dyna, and the arrangement is spelled out in the official rules rather than hidden.
