The only problem is that it would have to be next week, and not Monday. Everyone's welcome! and encoraged to come! Pete, have you checked the SMHD sales e-mail yet? |

Here is an outline of things to think about in preparation for our meeting this week. I think we should focus on the "Rider Appreciation Day" portion at this point for time's sake. Rebecca put this together for us. Much Thanks. It gives us a foundation to build upon. Everyone please get some thoughts together. As for a meeting place I like Dave's place so he does not have to miss out. Or we could do it at the Tex and do a conference call with Dave via cell phone. Rider Appreciation Day Location, location, Location Broome Building or the Dealership parking lot Both? Have the battletrax and ‘games’ in the back parking lot of the Broome building? Have the band and Vendors at the dealership parking lot? Volunteers Parking Charity event booth Buell Booth Door Prize registration & donations Someone to ‘judge’ contests & games Someone to work to arrange Vendors, Sponsorship, Prizes Sponsorship Stone Mtn Harley *How would Stone Mtn feel about including some of the ‘Sport bike shops in sponsorship and or door prizes? This would help with drawing a crowd and isn’t really stepping on SMHD toes, cuz it is a totally different customer base. Expenses- Tickets Door Prizes Door prizes T-shirts, gift certificates from ……. TWO Turner’s Corner Mellenium Cycles Cycle Gear Proline Hooters The Vortex *have to be careful the companies that donate aren’t competitors of SMHD Drawings/ Contests Door Prizes Drawings Dyno Shoot-out! Battletrax contest- (Ask Vic and or Sandy if they would assist with tis since they run the riders Edge course.) Slow bike contest Water balloon contest *We can use a lot of the same ‘games’ that HOG uses for their rallies Entertainment The band Soulshine (Will’s friends) Drop Bike Demo -Skert Food Bubba Burgers BBQ- Sonny’s Vendors and Booths Riders Edge- (Ask Karen if she would participate and man the booth) GA Sport Bike- emphasis on the Adopt a Newbie program I already got the guy in charge of this program agree to man a booth. TWO-Ask Britt and JD if they would like to participate in any way Toosies She Rides booth Booth with Track & Track day information Charity Ride booth (Needs Volunteers) Charity Ride (an event all in it’s self) Do the ride the same day as the event? Registration and Fees Do sign ups for the charity ride, the day of the event and have the ride another day? How do we get pledges? Just sign-up fee? (HOG does a $35 fee for such things, per person and gives a T-shirt and a pin) What would we ‘give’ to commemorate the event? Anything? Choose a Charity Abused Children St. Judes Make a Wish Foundation Route Where will we ride? Can we get police escorts like the Harley Group?- Yes That would draw a lot of bikes, how many sport bike events get a police escort and get to run lights? They would eat it up and love it.

There is enough to talk about that we are going to need to meet more than just once a month to pull this off. Let's meet at the Vortex Thursday, get Dave on the phone and then those of us who can meet Monday at Dave's house do so. Then we could do some back roads near his house when we're done???? |

S2pengy-Oops I guess I forgot about that. I will add it to the outline. That is exactly why Pete posted it so that you guys could catch what I missed or forgot. I will bring copies for everyone who is at the meeting on Thursday to make notes on. |

Just a peaceful image for peaceful thoughts. This is a view from out the window of our home base for some of my Italian rides a few months ago. (Message edited by torqer on August 02, 2004) |

What an exciting thread we have created!!! I wish I had something green 2! Finance exam 2morrow and Calculus on Wednesday. If I pass, I am finished! I'm fine with throwing around ideas on Thursday at the Vortex, but I don't want to get into anything too serious without the presence of Glitch. Torqer... If you have some spare time, generate and parts and price list for the triple-clamp conversion, including the black cityX levers. Also, I am in desperate need of tires. I am gonna roll with the Diablos. Would the service department mount, balance and install them for me? Or would I be better off taking them someplace else? |

If I pass, I am finished! When you pass my friend, when you pass. A4TR, right color anyway... I managed to make it home with my air cooled Vtwin, a couple of times I was sure it was going to be water cooled. |

When you pass my friend, when you pass. Thanks for your support buddy!!! I almost got taken out by an idiot in a cage 2night!!! I was coming around a corner on my way into downtown to get something to eat and some jack @ss just decided to move on into my lane. I got a fistful of ZTL and broke the back loose but kept the shiny side up. I gave him a Joe Rocket middle finger salute in his rear view and then got up beside him at the next light and said, "you almost killed me back there man"! His reply, "that's just how 5hits gonna be sometime man, fcuk it"! So I shook my head let him hear the V-twin and continued on with my heart about to jump outta my chest. A few blocks down the road as I was pulling into a parking spot, he pulled up behind me and said, "man I'm sorry, I did'nt mean to take my bad day out on you"! WTF is that? You gonna by me some new underwear? |

Torqer, I like the way you think. Stealth, I've been riding on the street now for (Holy crap!) 25 years. I got some stories, but never have any of them ended with an apology from the cager. |

That makes me feel a little better, but damn...I could'nt believe the first comment. I wonder if he is familiar with vehicular manslaughter? |
