Where do my Subscriptions go.

Post by weeksy »

I know some people wonder "where does the money go from the forum"

A chunk of it goes towards funding the forum/site, the upkeep, the hosting, the DNS, the SSL, the certs, the updates and the hosting software as well as the support of it.

Over the years though we've done a few 'giveaways' from hats to jackets, to trackdays

This year, once again i've given a trackday away. You'll have seen it if you've looked in the Trackday section, but just in case, i've copied it out here too
So in the spirit of the forum and one major thing i like to try and promote one of our members @tricol has been gifted a place at Silverstone for a trackday next year.

Dates are still not finalised, but would be ace if we can get him on a day when several of us are playing.

Due to various reasons, i'm unlikely to be riding on it myself but i'll be there as spanner crew for the ZX6R and @Welsh Muffin anyway.

Why him, well, he's an active member who is new to riding and has never experienced a trackday before. As you know each year we try and give someone an experience of a lifetime type thing, which usually involves Pembrey for the extravaganza but i thought i'd spice things up a little this year and IMO Silverstone is one of the 'must ride' sort of places. So the offer was made and i believe accepted.
As always, i'm trying to make this place a 'community' and somewhere where people come and it changes their lives... OK, that's slightly dramatic, but i think at times we as Visordown, TRC and now RTTL have changed lives... mostly for the better. Be it in supporting eachother, helping eachother and giving time and experiences to eachother.

So this is our time for next year.

Without you guys paying your Subs (and indeed some of you donating money on top) this wouldn't be possible... So thank you to all.

Ha!

Here's was me thinking it went on Yamaha trinkets.

I wouldn't mind in the slightest,either. :thumbup:

Lol nah mate. Admittedly the screen was a freebie from Powerbronze which was brilliant that's the only favour I've taken out though.

However if 60 new members sign up this week I'll buy a slipper clutch for sure
