Cap In Hand

I think that's a great idea, and from KK

get organizing and post the plan.

**Kwaka-Kid** · 28th August 2003, 12:31

alrite.. unfortunatly cant be too soon as i have heaps to do and wont have a weekend till at least after Sept 14th.

Also i dont believe in pushing things too fast, i.e the BBQ, i planned it like what, over a month in advanced and we got a good turnout.. so ill checkout the new roster etc and see when suits ME, BECAUSE ITS ALL ABOUT ME!! ME ME ME ME ME! haha sorry, going off on one of my selfish trips again.. haha.. ut yeah, ill think up an idea/dates etc.. also the pictures of BBQ will b posted @ around midnight 2nite.

Now that is a great idea (you feelin sick KK) If something like that occurs i'll be along $10 in hand. Or i wouldn't mind if you like ack on an extra $1 or 50c to the stickers or something for site funding

After all this is a bike forum and you do advertise other peoples rides and events without charge. $10 Each to go do the Coromandel loop or similar x 30 participants would still be more than most of us could donate on our own. Shite could you immagine if half of the website showed?

Good Idea KK, Perhaps you could organise something so SpankMe isn't doing every thing?

ps fully reccomend liability disclaimers.

Hell yeah, all meet up somewhere and depart in different skill levels and end up somewhere for a BYO BBQ after. Anyone south of Bombays volunteering?

Perhaps making going on these Rides a prerequisite for buying stickers?

Take turns at organising different rides? KK is clearly organising this one but I would be quite happy to organise another later.

Ciao, Big Dog

ps That stretch just before Coromandel township had me drooling and the coastal road after was beautiful!

SpankMe doing everything? No offence and all, spankme does heaps

but look around a bit more, its also just us general riders/suggestions that get things going, i.e the KB BBQ - i rememberd a post like 6 months ago randomly, and thought, hey, that would be a good idea.. and started to post about it, etc etc.. and the little ride you and firefight had etc, not so many ppl, but still an organised event by just general users

so yep, i havnt checked the roster yet, BUT!! I HAVE THE PICS! WILL MAKE A POST IN NON RIDING ABOUT THEM!

**Big Dog** · 29th August 2003, 14:06

No offence kk. Perhaps you could collect some of the ride fees in advance to pay for the stickers and give 1 to each person who comes on the ride like a ride badge.

Personally I would rather pay $10 for 5 rides than $10 for 10 stickers.

What do "Y'all" think?

**Kwaka-Kid** · 29th August 2003, 23:44

Yeah good diea.. im keen, or even if.. i feel odd about taking ppls money b4 things happen.. not that i dont trust myself.. but i know what the other person is likly to think

so i dont mind puttin up a few hundred, or say $300 for all the stickers or rides or whatever.. im bound to make it back somehow someday thru this. im keen as, just need to work stuff out.. the next free day i have is September 20th, saturday. but i work the sunday afterwards @ 7am.. so yeah, no pissup afterwards unfortunatly, unless we did a ride on friday night? friday the 19th of sept i finish work @ 8pm.. hmm... maybe a pissup that night then a ride the next day or somthing? hmm, whos liver can still handle it? cmon show the youth how its done SPman!

Would not want to go on anything with too much of the tight stuff at night at this time of year but a nice lazy ride up to wellsford and back would be all good.

Keep the twisty stuff for the daytime so us newbies don't end up :roadkill: . Twisties on known roads are all good at night new ones suck.

**PZR** · 28th September 2003, 00:13

Im keen, tell me when and I ll try and be there

Version 3 of vBulletin (the forums software) is out soon and has many new features that will be of use to us, especially in the event calendar. At $160US it’s not cheap. There is free forum software on the net, but none come close to vBulletin.

I have put a PayPal link on the homepage. For those who are not familiar with PayPal, it is a very useful and secure service for transferring money over the net using a credit card.

I've decided not to renew my subscription to the US Motorcycle Online site and wouldn't mind donating the money here instead (they charge $1 a month roughly for members) but can't spot the Paypal link on the Homepage so to save me browsing around is there a link somewhere?
