Money Making Schemes For New Bike

[Monorail]

I earn (apparently) lots of money (my accountant tells me so... yeah, right I say) and I dont even sponsor some poor fucker in Bangladesh. Maybe I should take him off your hands. are they cheaper second hand?

If only lol, na it's about $9.25 a week.

Happy to host off my cable modem if you need a starting point.

Most businesses need:

1, This is who we are.
2, This is what we do.
3, This is how to get here.
4, This is how to contact us.

And if you can do a decent job would be happy to stump up enough cash to make the hosting fees seem irrelevantly small. Carts are a pain in the arse. Credit cards are a fucking pain in the arse.


Thinking .... thinking .... thinking ....

I can easily do the four steps, thats practically only a contact page. Carts are near impossible, but I can do some credit card crap through paypal, probably only useful for donations.

Most likely yea, the book online part I probably wouldn't be able to do, but everything else i can

[Hitcher]

So if you guys have any ideas please let me know... only if they reasonable i.e. no prostitution (sorry ladies... and dover), and yea

Sell a kidney. You only need one, and the market rate is between $20,000 and $50,000, depending on which country you're selling it to. That should get you a nice ride.

Ok, well if you can do a decent thing besides the booking engine part, then I'll chat to these guys and let you know.

I've always had a B plan for getting a new bike-
Talk to V, Red Bull, one of a number of youth-genre products, ask them to sponsor you ~$5000 (should be enough)

Then get them to paint your bike in Red Bull colours etc, and find a massive canyon. Get them to bring their good camera guys, with the hi 8 cameras, build a cheap plywood ramp, buy a parachute and learn how to use effectively, have this painted red bull colours as well.

Then, in a couple of weeks, there'll be an ad for Red Bull/whatever: Mafu1, drinks some Red Bull, goes racing around the canyon, then hits a corner too fast. Bike goes flying off the edge, nice chase shot of GS125 exploding into a kajillion pieces (because you got Sniper to make you up some C4/RDX/whatever beforehand) and then Mafu1 flying off into the sunset, Red Bull gives you wings.

Shame, though. Your profile shows that you're not particularly photogenic, so it probably won't work for you.

Sorry lads, I work for the people who make V and I've been trying for several years to talk them into sponsering some sort of bike stuff (not for me, just any bike stuff). Doesn't fit corporate marketing plan, not interested. Y'could try Red Bull, or Coke/

heym mate, im not much older than urself, im in the same boat in wanting to upgrade.... if you work between exams and christmas you could save at least 1,0000 ryte?! save everything you get mate and dont spend it on anything stupid!!!!!

Can you swim or do you like swimming? You can quickly and easily obtain a Pool Lifeguard qualification (for a small fee), then you could work at a Leisure Centre as a Lifeguard. They are always looking for temporary staff throughout the summer and the hours should be varied & flexible.

Just a thought, it's what I did in the UK before I moved to NZ.

Good luck anyway

Honestly having just gone through the stage that you are at now... Get a ginny...
The reasons why i say this is:

1. The most i ever spent on it after a bin was $70 to get it back on the road.
2. Its a good learners bike and doesn't cost $1800... mine cost $600 ($270 purchase price Plus $330 to get it all legal)
3. Parts are everywhere. And in most cases are transferable between models...
4. It is possible to tear one apart right down to the frame and engine and put it back together in one day. so it is good to learn basic maintenance...
5. Your parents will overtake you while out for a nice evening walk and will realise that it is impossible to kill yourself on one so will be more willing to help you out with maintenance costs (tyres,chains,sprockets,rego etc) if you are ever strapped for cash.
6. When you upgrade you will have no trouble selling it cos everyone loves the ginny's
