Support the VTX Cafe

[Retro Rich]

Wow, this forum has really grown a lot since I joined! Lots of great people on board and are getting new ones every day. Really great to see so many people in the X-family and out there riding!

I just wanted to take a minute to step up onto the soap box and encourage the people who frequent here and find this forum educational/useful, fun, "a place to hang out," etc., etc. to please consider becoming a supporter/sponsor. It is costly and time consuming to run a board such as this, and Big-X has done a great job with designing, regulating and upgrading this forum. As far as I'm concerned, it's the best VTX forum out there and he strives and works hard to keep it that way.

So please sit back and think about how much you could help keep this great forum going and growing! By the way, my comments are completely unsolicited and I don't sell anything for a living. Also, I am not an owner of this forum either (just in case you were wondering).

[Big-X]

Thanks Rich! My internet was down all day due to the storm, but a nice surprise!!!

Yes, it's true. I hope to keep advertiseemnt off the site, just member supported. The newest version of vB is coming out and again it will cost $$$ to upgrade the software and convert the skin. I hope everyone realizes who much better this software is compaired to the other forums using the FREE stuff.

Any help is great!

Another bump. Remember everyone that the costs for this comes out of Big-X's pocket, there are no site sponsors which is a good thing. Let's all do what we can to keep it going and help him out. Thanks.

Gas prices are dropping, so I hope more will step up and contribute. It only took me 2 weeks to realize this was THE site to join, and I've learned a tremendous amount about my bike from this and only this forum. I will continue to financially support this site until my VTX wheels fall off!

I had several people ask about being able to donate different amonts so I rebuilt the donation amounts to make it more flexable.

Silver- $25, $30, or $40
Gold - $50, $60, $70, $80, $90
Platnum - $100, $125, $150

Thanks everyone for all the support helping fund the site!

I proudly became a sponsoring member today. There is a ton of valuable information here. The cost of sponsorship is minimal in comparison. I challenge more of the newbies to join as well. Excellent site Ray. Thank You.

What happened to Johnny X? Came in like a madman and was gone, sure hope he is ok.

[Fury]

I'm ready to contribute, but really had problems with Paypal in the pass. Any other way available?

[ezmoney]

This is a very well managed site. What would be a recommended amount to "pay my way". I would at least like to pay my way and maybe more.

The site is 100% free, so there is no really "pay your way", just enjoy the site. If you want to make a donation dontate whatever you can afford. ;)

[mscales]

Just donated. Well worth the $$.

Hi, still awaiting a way to contribute other than PayPal.:(

What is wrong with Paypal?

[Steve H.]

I do not have a paypal account, can I contribute another way? I am easily confused so keep it simple.

[Fury]

What is wrong with Paypal?Maybe I just had a run of bad luck, but after I set it up, made a successful transaction. I started getting bogus messages that my Paypal account had been breached on more than one occasion. None of them proved to be true, but nonetheless, I got tired of calling Paypal.:harder:

[Big-X]

Ahhh....

I get messages that "appear" to be from Paypal but they are not, same goes for Ebay. Never click a link in any email message, if it's an account issue then visit the site directly. I have a co-worker that just got screwed for $3000. A good tip is link your Paypal to an "extra" account and keep that as a mostly ZERO balance. I have used PayPal since 1999 and no problems.

I sent an address via PM ref mailing a donation. ;)

[Betty Boop]

Bump ...:) :cheers: Just thought I'd give this a little bump...we have alot of new members and some may not visit this section too often...just thought I'd let them know they can help out with the cost of keeping this site as great as it is....if they wanna..;)...Thanks Big X for a great place to meet other X'ers..and for the wealth of information on here !! BB

[Dapper]

This is a great site :patriot: and it didn't take many visits to realize that. :harder: I hope anyone that gets a bit of info on installing new grips, turn signals or fixing their run time module or drilling out their exhaust.............. the list is too numerous to post. :nono: The fact is for every fix you learn to do yourself is at minimum 1 hour labor at the dealer 60-80$ :nono: It's time to step up! :cheers: Thank you all for helping me and getting a no wrench :nope: to try more and more each day! http://www.vtxcafe.com/images/icons/woot.gif :choppersm

[Shutterbug]

OK folks, help us all out and be a sponsor. I stepped up my sponsorship a notch last month and it didn't hurt a bit!

[Dapper]

It really amazes me how many people have recently purchased the VTX motorcycle, 1800 and 1300 all models and colors WOW. I hope that we will all work together to make this an even better site by supporting the work/staff that it takes to make it the internet leader and friendliest site! Ride on! Welcome all the new riders and VTX owners!

[lipsmaker72901]

I stepped in and did a sponsorship. Great site and wonderful info. Thanks to Ddannen I will have "clean" pipes again soon.

I did not know I could do a donation, but I am glad to give back to a site that has been so much help.

THanks all.

[Dapper]

Thanks Lipsmaker it is the people that take charge that keep this site above and beyond most you will find. FYI, I may have a box to ship tomorrow and will let you know.:icon_peac Couldn't find a smily with the fingers crossed so this will have to do! LOL

[Big-X]

I would like to let you guys and gals know I have had the chance to turn down 2 companies asking to advertise here in the past month. ;)

Our members continue to support this site enough to allow us to keep running without having to ask for outside help and we continue to have the best members on the internet! Our moderators will agree I think we have the easiest job on the web for a message board...we rarely have to edit or delete anything, I cannot believe how well this site goes.

Anyway, thank to all who have donated to make this place run...you make it happen.

[Highway]

Rich, I agree. When I first joined, I signup as a silver sponser; but after iving it more thought and thanks to all of you, I upgraded to a gold.

To all of you out there, it's an honor to be associated with you. Thanks again!:choppersm

[Stoo]

I just signed up for silver sponsorship with PayPal. I hope it went to the right place. It said skaters cafe?

[talldragoon]

I'm in - great site, great folks, great ideas and hints and help, and great fun. Thanks for the wonderful effort BigX . . . and mine said it was going to the Skaterscafe too????

[Big-X]

That's the name of the general Paypal account....I run a skateboard site for kids.

Thanks alot for all the support everyone.

[Honda_J]

Everyone, join, we spend lots of $'s for accesories and 25 bucks is cheap...and we ALL ask questions about the stuff we buy...SO, i have already gotten my 25 bucks worth!

[hawkdriver1965]

I tell ya--this site has been invaluable to me. If I ever needed to learn an installation, recommendation on upgrades, hell--even torques and voltages--right here is the place to learn it. Thanks BIG X for providing the forum, and to everyone else--DONATE!!! LOL

Ride Safe!!!
