Ok FJR dudes and dudettes, this has been on my mind since I saw poor Howie's for sale thread. I have just been slammed with no time. So instead of a well-thought out thread, I am going to get this one out there quick and dirty.
I say let's take up a collection to get RadioHowie's FJR back up and running.
We have precedent. Old timers will remember back a few years when the forum (EZBoard back then) bought a prolific forum member a used FJR after his turned out to be a ticker and he wanted to punt it.
Well, RadioHowie is one cantankerous SOB and this place just aint' the same with him all depressed and **** because his poor FJR is in pieces in the garage. It's bringin a fukin tear to my eye.
So I say let's raise him some money to get it going again. Charity starts at home so to speak.
Now, I know the shitwad is gonna say he doesn't want us to do it, but screw him.
We're gonna do it anyway. :****:
So here's the rub: I don't have time to do this. Started a new job a week ago, and in a couple hours I am leaving for 3 weeks on the road for the IBR. So I need someone to take lead on this. Any volunteers? I figure we set up a Paypal account just for this little fundraiser. How about a goal of $4500? That should buy a used FJR engine and take care of most, if not all costs to install it?
Feel free to give. Don't if you don't want to. No list of who has given - no pressure or guilt for those who don't. If you want to respond to this thread saying you gave, that's your choice.
I'm broke. Still, I got two running FJRs and am better off than my Florida brother. I'll start with a modest pledge of $50. A few less beers for me in the coming weeks.
So what sayeth you all? Let's get this cranky old fart FJRing again. He may be one hell of a SOB, and even though I have never met him..........
I :wub: RadioHowie!
Who's with me? Who can take lead on this?
Edit: Joe2Lmaker has volunteered to be the donation collector. Give it up for Joe! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:
You can paypal him funds at: Joe2Lmaker -at- yahoo -dot- com
300 folks at a measly $15 gets us there.
400 folks at a lousy $10 a pop get's us close enough
