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.

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
