Here it is.
I am proposing that the person who runs (owns) this website place a Paypal link for donations. I have been here for about 13 years and because of this website I have never had to have my valk in a shop except for tire changes. Every question I have ever posted has been answered in a professional manner by many of the fine members here and I know many of you agree. I am not proposing a membership fee to join or anything like that but just a link to donate (whatever amount they feel is appropriate) when a person feel compelled.
This site owner has certainly earned there keep and site fees and message board software updates can be costly at time.
Just a thought.

Agree, this is a first rate board with first rate team running it. It's a good idea.

Thank you for the suggestion. It has been considered and discussed. It will likely be considered and discussed again.

If you build it, they($) will come.  Great idea  This site has saved me so much money, time and headache, I would gladly donate to help keep it going, if that's when or what it takes. |

I'm NOT the admin, this is just my opinion, but... If they don't put up a donate button, few things you can still do: Attend Inzane (SO wish I could...  ) Buy from sponsors, and tell the sponsors why you're buying from them If you have knowledge and experience, share it with others, pay the help forward. Simple things really help a lot in keeping a site like this one going. (Once again, I'm NOT an admin here, just speaking as an admin of a totally different hobby forum/club) |

Don't know when I'll ever get the time to hit Inzane, but I hope to before I give up riding. I don't seem to need any thing from any of the sponsers at this time.
I wouldn't pay a "dues" thing, but I wouldn't mind making a "donation" from time to time.
My life without this board would not be the same and I would like to help make sure it continues for as long as we ride our ladies.
I'm sure/hope the operators will let us know, if the time comes that we NEED to chip in.
This board rocks!

Donations are a tricky business, that could get us in trouble with the IRS.
Now, if we were to offer say a VRCC key chain or something (that would cost a buck or two to make), and then sell them for say $25... there's no law against 2500% mark up.
Anyone want a key chain?
