I think this site has done very very well.
Making a website as good as this is a huge achievement.
To think that you have delivered your site to thousands of people is quite a good thought.

I have my own website http://www.computec.dynu.com which I host myself on my Internet connection. Has now 300 users on it and gets about 300 hits a day, which is ok. (Hoping to get more users with the LAN that im setting up)

I also like the fact that there are no advertisements on this site - god don’t you just hate the bloody flashing annoying thing.
Its one thing I will not put on my site no matter how much someone pays me and I hope this site doesn’t get any either.

I have a link in my links section of my site to this site, every bit helps. I have also got a few friends from tech onto this website as well and im sure affman does the same there as well.

Keep it up Webmaster SpankMe !!!!

I think the contrary - rather than popups - the little animated GIF's would do the trick....

Shit that's a cheap Poker Run. The cheapest I've been to was $15. In fact most organised runs I've been on have been at least $15.

I'm keen to make a contribution but don't run a card or cheque book....I do have internet banking ttho' is there a way I can send something in via that ??.....
Does anybody organise rides here in the mighty manawatu ?? I would be keen to get away for a day.....as a solo dad with 4 young'uns I can only get away for day ride but am bloody keen to escape ride I mean !!......
Also I joined up too late to get a shirt......I joined after seeing one on a guy at the Pram Macs earlier in the year.....so are you doing another run of them ....and do you do kids ones ??

[Kwaka-Kid]

firstly: where is the manawatu?
second: kinda, theres a Size Small - im sure even if its a bit baggy yah kids wont mind
oh and also yeah they do runs every now and then, spankme needs 12 orders to start another run. they are great.
oh, and welcome to the site

[Hooks]

Cheers KK.....The Manawatu is the area in the lower centre of the North Island with Palmerston North as it's capital
I will probably go for 3 smalls and 2 large when I spot the next run. This site is just great ...especially for people like me who have got back into bikes after a long (long !!) lay off......now that I am unencumbered by female "cage only" requirements and have some spare time on my hands, I can get on with improving my golf and re-acquianting myself with my bike. It would appear that the bike remembers me better than my golf game does !!

Hi Hooks.

Here is the thread for ordering t-shirts.

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...?t=2800&page=2

You can pay using "Paypal" - info on the ordering shirts thread. I've used it two or three times, no problems at all.

Come warmer weather we'll come up to the Manawatu and meet up with you. Or could you come out to Manfeild? The next race meeting there is 26th June.

PayPal, it is a very useful and secure service for transferring money over the net using a credit card.

Ok you are kiwi based so why not publish a bank account number and people who are use to paying accounts on-line can just drop you a donation via online banking. I hear this being mentioned by others and I would send you a donation if I had your account details. To identify the member paying they just put their logon name in the ID section of the payment.
Hmmmm I like the idea of a KB gathering. Why not pick a place like Taupo and see how many turn up. With it being central it could be a great turn out and a donation of $10.00 just to be part of the gathering would be great. See if you could get the race track or just invade the rugby grounds hot pools what ever and sit around and have a few cold ones then head for home. After all it is summer

If anyone wants to make a donation by bank transfer, they just need to PM me for my account details.

I have a parts order in with Turnbulls in Palmy I have to pick up next week, I will see if Phil is there and have a chat to him see if they are interested in contacting you re the site, they do a lot in promoting motorcycling stuff in the Manawatu, will also go chat to Manawatu motorcycles, they're a small place but good to deal with and maybe the profile will help them..... the members could all also do that to the places they deal with and also try to promote this site with the comment that "we will support businesses that support KB" Businesses will only support and promote things that they think they will get something in return and if enough people come in and comment about KB it will give them the message that this site is popular with motorcyclists *Their customers* and maybe their support might get them a return.

Other thing to promote and get KB into peoples faces is to wear the Tshirts, badge, cap etc, I wear a KB badge and have people look at it closely and gives me the opportunity to tell them what KB is

Maybe you could offer the option of a free badge with every donation over $20 or something like that .... members could donate... get the badge and give the surplus badge(s) to someone or even sew it on yah kids jacket or something like that (what you mean .... you dont have kids) LOL

Im sure others have ideas to promote KB maybe .... the fundraiser bike runs a great idea too....would be into that.

I trying to get enough money together to buy PhotoPost to replace the free Coppermine software I use for the gallery. Coppermine is a bit sucky, never gets updated and doesn't integrate well with vBulletin. Also the new blog software I'm installing uses PhotoPost.

Need to raise $129US.

Donations can be made via PayPal link on homepage or direct debt to account in my user note. Non senior members will need to PM for account details.

Any donation greatly appreciated.
