New year raffle?!

[Doug]

I was thinking it would be great to do another raffle to help generate some revenue and more members. I am pinging everyone to see what vendor they would like to have donate a product? I'm just looking for a list of ideas at the moment. If anyone has any special connections that would help out, let me know. In the past we've done windshields and seats, larger ticket items, but small works too.

Odyssey PC680 battery?
Bike cover?
Haynes or Clymer manual?
BMW gift card (if there is such a thing)
Alaskan Leather sheepskin pad?
Tankbag? Twisted Throttle/Wolfman
Gas card?

This would also be good time to reach out to our new friends on the board to consider become a donating member if you haven't already. This site is full of good information and a wealth of knowledge from a lot of our members. It has been the best investment I have made in owning my R!!

Amen!! All good suggestions above. Would add Wunderlich, Bike Bandit, Aerostich, Lee Parks Design (gloves)

I've contacted most of these vendors to see if they would be interested, I'm sure we'll get a few bites. My biggest worry is that they all say yes.. but not a bad problem to have! We could have the mother of all raffles!

I'm telling vendors that if they donate a couple quality items to the raffle, I'll give them a banner on the site for a month and obviously the raffle itself will generate some great exposure and energy.

Thanks for the suggestions.. Hopefully a few of them pull through with nice toys.

Just an update.. looks like we have two vendors on board for now.. trying to get more before we start it up.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to write a note about new memberships. Some have asked how to become a member, so I thought I'd post this to inform people.

For donation and member information: http://www.r1150r.net/contact.html and then click on the donation button.
Basically, its $25/yr or $60/lifer and you can send payment securely via Paypal (A Paypal account is not required).

Once you are a member you will be able to visit and post in the member-only sections (Buy/Sell, Member's only and Pat's sections).

Membership may sound expensive, but think of the money you've saved by browsing these pages and consider if a reference like this did not exist. We need a flow of money to pay for general board expenses/upkeep, Internet traffic (39 GIGs last month!), and ISP charges and server upgrades, so join today! [Insert soothing commercial music here! ]

Thanks for everyone's support over the years. This site wouldn't be here without you!
