NAFO Fees

[Geezer]

I think I might take Derby Cycles up on their $239 PR2 deal and donate it as a prize for that award. I have been thinking about doing something and after seeing thaat special today that would work.
Bob

Dood, you are already doing enough for this rally. Better to just ask Derby for a donation. Whatever you do, don't mention 10 pack wheel weights.

I have contacted them and many others. And remeber...enough is just a little bit more than whatever you are getting....

If I have the resources to do it I can't think of a better way to use them. Just to see the smile on someones face for wearing a thong or something like that...oh wait. You're right. This may not be a good idea! :bad:

I can't make it to NAFO this year, but i do think this is a pretty cool idea. I have a little spare change in my paypal account if you'll accept a chipper inner.

and i thought my idea for an "Oldest Fart" ... er "Rider" Award was a good idea . . . . . I'm gonna have to do a lot better than that! :ermm:

I hope no one misunderstood the intent of my post. I admire the OP for bringing up the subject and helping to shed light on a fee that, even I have wondered about a couple times. I happened to know the folks planning the gig in the past and trusted them though.

Regardless, it's nice to know where/how all the money is spent and I have a new-found respect for the planners. I knew if was a PITA, but I didn't realize to what extent the planning commitee was held over a barrel.

I hope everyone attending this year has as much fun as I had in the past.

so yer sayin' that if I appear at dinner in my grungies I might win a set of tires? Holy Crap...I may have to make this meet! Everybody bet get yer sunglasses ready...btw no tan on the legs or stomach...

After reading this thread, and the other on fjriders, I have newly-found respect for those that plan, schedule, host, and put their personal CC's at risk to make these events happen. Sure, 150 hurts the wallet. Sure, some 'homegrown' flavor is lost on the 'bigger' events. Yes, they probably might could be done cheaper. Yes, transparency is a good thing - to a point.

My tolerance is very high for peeps that spend their time, money, and energy to present events that all I have to do is freakin show up with my incredible good looks, clean bike, and thirst. If I had the time, I would be all over NAFO, 150 or not. Hell, I could steal then, uhh, 'lease' two of BustaNuts finest sheep and earn 150 easy... (Fred, Thanks for bringing this topic up in a solid, fair, and even manner - well worth the discussion)

Jes sayin'.

:****:

Hugs n Kisses

Good discussion... & thank you for the rundown, Bob. Good positive & negative comments. More info than I knew already.

Sorry that I've been absent a lot... lost the ol' job & no present internet access except at friends or the local library.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Uhhh, not sure... but the thought of some of these riders showing up to dinner in a thong is downright scary.

I vote that we do not have that award.

I am hoping to see lots of new & familiar faces at this meet come the latter part of September.

HA! Too late! The award is official for a new set of PR2's! Should make for some interseting sights! :yahoo:

:jester:

Na, you got it all wrong Bust. It's the thought of seeing YOU in a thong, that is disturbing. Dang, now I have to jab ice picks in my brain just for thinkin about that, uuuggh..if you ask me this idea is gonna drive people away from NAFO, I mean look at what you did to our poor eyes a CFR!!! OHHHHH the humanity...

Just completed my reservation , fees paid now the prep-work begins.

The last time I wore A thong was when I made Chief, 22 years ago. I wonder if it still fits? Should I wax or shave?

Trim or landing strip so much to do so little time.

So Bob (intech) what color is yours ? Sequin's ?

Should I wax or shave? JIM

:lol: I had a patient in the OR a few months ago. He was HAIRY - hair everywhere including all over his back. He was like a bear.

Except for his pubis (wtf?!).

FYI - he was a shaver; waxing would have given him a smoother result
