Jason McEwan Returns

**Shaun** · 12th November 2005, 09:31

I have rung Jason this morning and informed him of the good will going on here, he is very gratefull to all the positive comments.

Is there some one here that would like to take control/manage this?

I think it's a great idea but we need to get the moderator (is it SpankMe?) involved and get an ad on the home page.

its gotta be a go, all it needs is a bank account we can transfer funds straight into, and bobs yer uncle, Jason could set it up himself and just stick the details on here.
Let's get him back on track!

It would be best/professional to have some one from the Kiwi Biker site as the controller of the funds that members may choose to donate purely from a buisness point of view.

Calling SpankMe, are you into this mate?

I'd been keen to through a few dollars to help him out in team kiwibiker colours. Might be a tad hard getting all of our names on the side of the bike, same for pit passes for us all!!! I think SpankMe, as owner of this fine site, should be in control of it.

Be classic......

**justsomeguy** · 12th November 2005, 10:37

I'll give a little bit too.

Hi, 8K is running costs only for consumables product.

3K up front and the painting bill paid would gaurantee a KiwiBiker S/B on the grid for the season as well as an F3 machine with a frst time racer on board it, he is only 17.

The ballance could be paid out in monthly installments over the December/January/Febuary period

Hope this helps, and thanks for your effort.

Would be great to have Mr McEwan racing at the Wanganui street races again. Will this campain include the street races or just the nationals?

All the best with making this a happening thing.

We are yet to make a decision on that issue due to the big crash J had at Taupo 2 years ago. His leg is perfect now, but does have a lot of metal in it, having said that, Jason is more focused on racing bikes than I have ever seen him, so Probally?

Paeroa had been the previous day (which i missed damn it all) so i figured it was someone from there. Anyway I wandered over and got a coffee and smoke and sat down. This guy comes on over with a cast on his arm and asked how the TLR was going.. great i sez. He introduced himself as Jason... McEwan??? I asked, yeah thats me.
Holy crap, hows it going. He was an awesome guy, who had plenty of time to chat. Told me about Paeroa and his crash with Lance. Apparently his missus worked at this cafe. We chatted for about half an hour and I went away thinking that he was bloody great guy.

So in saying that, I dont know how viable it would be but if you (Shaun) can organise it, you never know we may just be able to swing something. Count me in as a donater.. not a lot but better than nothing.

JASON IS A REAL NICE GUY , I CHATTED WITH HIM A FEW TIMES AND HIS TEAM ONCE LENT ME A BIT FOR MY BIKE SO I COULD KEEP RACING, IF WE HAVE A WHIP AROUND ILL CHIP IN $20 WITH PLEASURE

WE need to create a list of interested members, as although there is approx. 3000 members, how many are actually still active here. I don't mind tipping in a bit more than $20, but we need some firm numbers to work out what is required. Maybe a new thread needs to be created, not in Racing though please, somewhere more general. It also needs to be stickied.
