Contest for the benefit of the site
10/04/20 at 16:40:15
 

I propose a contest, to encourage members to donate money to the maintenance of the site.


Rules are simple, you post how much you have donated to the site since the start of the contest (start date 8/4/2020).    Donate through the DONATE at the top of each post.

POST YOUR DONATION AMOUNTS ON THE THREAD SO WE CAN TRACK THE 3 WINNERS

We will not be trying to mess with verifying mail ins on this contest.   Don't do mail ins.

You can bump (add another donation) to increase your total.  

Yes, donate in good faith, because even if you don't win the donation does go to a good cause (keeping the lights on here at the site).

Prizes are the very best of the light small items that still remain from my hoard of motorcycle stuff.

I have 3 prizes, and will let the winners pick what they want in descending donation order ......

We have a Sigma BC 1009 bike computer (fancy small handlebar speedometer with memory functions like highest speed, distance traveled, etc.)

One (1) Japanese Morse built  Super Cam chain that I got during the first superchain build era.

Another one (1) Japanese Morse built  Super Cam chain that I got during the first superchain build era.


Right above the Google Search bar in the blue zone at the top of this (and every other page) you can see Home, Help, Seach, CPanel and Donate --- Donate is the one you want.   One time donations work best, and you can add to your donation level by doing a new one to "top it up" some if you are losing by a small amount.

Don't forget to POST YOUR DONATION AMOUNTS in the thread below, as you might as well get a kudos from everybody as well as your prize.

These are the very last of my bike parts, and they are the items I was planning to sell --- but actually a donation from you to the site gets something more accomplished ----- and I feel better about ending my motorcycling career on a good note.

Versy, didn't we have a donations report of some kind or another in years past?   I can't find it any more, in any case.  
Mebbe you can point us all towards it .....

I could be mistaken, too.   I'll track it from donation posts on the thread and contact Mysterious John to get any verifications that are needed.

What price did the last batch of super cam chains fetch, just for easy reference?    Bike Bandit is getting $113 for a normal (not super grade) cam chain.   Folks can bet a portion of that on getting one of the now rare original Morse Japan built super grade chains .......

I believe the only public disclosure was membership to the Savage Alliance.
Still got my card somewhere.   Cool

check your profile in cpanel, options, template style.
basic and old style do not have the 'donation' tab.

I use the default style.

Rules are simple, you post how much you have donated to the site since the start of the contest (start date 8/4/2020).  

Let's see here just a bit, I think too much effort is being wasted digging up very old donations numbers.   This was intended to be all about current donations and was to be somewhat easy to track, just post your current donations.   Only use the donate button to make your donations.

Todd James and MM are in for $20 each, see, easy tracking.

This isn't bidding, it is DONATING to a good cause.   The site has value to all of us, so let's try to support it just a little bit.

Versy, I never intended request or to try to to count mail in donations as that is un-trackable.  Donations through the site are trackable.

The old original superchains (specially processed by Morse Hy-Vo's Japanese Mfg division) have a value that exceeds the $113 that Bike Bandit is charging for a new stock Suzuki chain.

As such they are a worthy prize to encourage people to donate to the site.

Guys, thanks for the reminder. Had problems trying to donate for a while, Paypal did not like my outdated computer browser. It was successful today.

As far as the little handlebar Speedometer, I only used the data collection part of it on mountain trips.   The one in question is new, it was my backup unit and has never been installed on a bike.

I remember once, a ride member really didn't believe we had gotten up to 75 miles per hour on the sweepers of the Cherohala Skyway because his Savage wouldn't go that fast.   Took just a second to twist the speedo dial off the holder and 4-5 button pushes on the dial face while we were sitting at a McDonalds soaking up a soft drink .....  and there she was, the maximum speed since last reset was 74.6 mph.

I remember the sweeper in question, there was tall Bahia grass on the roadside that had those long tall dual seed heads that were just missing my shoulder as we leaned way over in the long sweeping turn with the throttle open pretty far, a long string of us just a singing along in a dotted line.  

A gentle right hand downhill sweeper, good for breaking in new mountain riders .....

Good times,

Oldfeller
