A Plea For Your
Help
Over the past sixteen years
the the Motorcycle Tips & Techniques Safety Forum and I, as it's creator,
have:
-
Created
the Motorcycle Tips & Techniques site
-
Wrote and published two
hundred sixty six motorcycle safety articles
-
Created the Motorcycles Safety
Forum
-
Provided gratis
safety presentations to various motorcycle organizations
-
Published and
distributed thousands of Group Riding Guidelines
-
Became an MSF
Instructor and taught many classes
Our members provided even more value with our site:
-
110,000 messages shared with the public
-
Messages posted were peer reviewed for accuracy, value, and civility
Though access to the forum
is free, there are significant operating costs:
-
$10,000 (hardware,
software, Telco, ISP, printing, postage)
Monthly costs of more than $200 for web hosting.
-
1,000 hours of
personal time (zero compensation)
Known results:
-
Reached 22,000,000
riders directly via my Internet site
-
Reached another
9,000,000 riders via publication of my articles on other sites
-
Distributed 16,000
Group Riding Guides
-
Caused changes to the
MSF curriculum
-
Made 'safety' part of
the mind-set of millions of riders
Probable results:
31,000 deaths or serious
injuries did not occur!
You may well be one of
those 31,000 statistics that didn't happen. Your help is needed to spread the
message of motorcycle safety.
Make no mistake, whether
or not you contribute here I will continue the Safety forum and the Motorcycle
Tips & Techniques site. Funds raised in this drive will FIRST go to
cover site operational expenses. Whatever remains will be applied to covering
past expenses, and keeping the site current.
If you have gained from my writings
and would like to help me out in return I would be most grateful.
