Dave Gess needs to go to Daytona. If you're not sure who he is, or how he fits into Buell history, check this out. Also have a look at his site, www.davegess.com Money's short, and he may not be able to make it to see the XBRR race at Daytona. IMHO this would not be good. The best way I can think of to help is to buy his ghost print of the RW750 (the other Buell factory racer) here. I've not asked Dave if I can do this, I'm only trying to help out someone I admire. Please help too. I hope this is cool with you Dave, if it's not I'll trash this thread. |

If we could get 30 people to throw $10.00 each, it would pay for his ticket; If we throw $20.00 each, he could rent a car to get around in and eat a burger at the track. I've got $20.00. where do I send it? |

Just a thought, but because of personal reasons i can not make Daytona, however i would be interested in a print, and would pay a bit more(like $10 us) if it was taken to daytona and signe by EB That way everyone wins, just a thought and maybe Dave could make it happen R |

>>>>IMHO this would not be good. Good? . . . heck, it'd be GREAT. So great in fact that one donation came in from overseas last night asking no more than "use this to make damn sure Dave Gess is standing there to watch the XBRR run at Daytona" This is too cool. It was also pointed out that the www.davegess.com website was struggling with paypal and credit cards. I've offered to let folks mail me (be sure DAYTONA 2006 is in the subject, and I can get them paypal info, provide and address where they can send checks and so forth. I am also trying to reach Vegasbueller. IT occurred to me that he may not need/want his party invaded but Dave and I are looking for a venue to tell a few stories Saturday night. Court |

I'm really glad to hear it's working out for Dave. Good news, ain't BadWeB grand! Ya'll take lots of pictures while you're down there, I'll only be there in spirit, my body has a contract to fulfill here in Atlanta. I'm sure March Badness 3 will be full of Daytona stories I'll get to hear. Ya'll have fun, and take LOTS of pictures for your ol' buddy Glitch to day dream about. |

Dave's doing inventory. I spoke to him to get some more (these are done on kinda a high-zoot printer/process of the 11" x 17" pics done. They are something like $41.95 each but neither of us are sponsors so we can't say that and I pretty much ignore all the requests, event the ones for the "print and shirt" sent to me....except the ones that clearly say DAYTONA 2006 or DAYTONA BUELL FANS in the subject. Can you believe the gall of some folks,? dealers, groups of Buell riders....all sorts of heathens trying to get us to sell! They keep this up...they'll have Dave Gess to contend with Saturday night. . . they can tell their sad excuses for breaking all the rules to him! Buell is all about following the rules. |

Dave Gess is a sponsor of BadWeB, in one of the most difficult roles, he's a custodian. |

Dave has inquired about and seen fit to arrange an official sponsorship with BadWeB and it starts immediately, though he still needs to get me a banner file URL for a 468x60 pixel gif or jpg of no more than 20KB file size. But the deal is done. His paypal email is fixed. My ghost photo is on order, and I sent Dave the money BadWeB owed him for calendar envelopes. Let the goading commence. Court, you friggin outlaw! Don't let that Staten Island culture go to your head paisan. We have Bill K. on our BadWeB policy enforcement team and you don't want him coming after you, trust me. Dave Gess himself characterized his enforcement tactics as "evil" just the other day. Be afraid, be very afraid! I am! |

I could use some artwork especially if EB is signing them if we throw in $10 extra like GRNDSKPR suggested. I cannot make Daytona.... THIS YEAR!!! |
