With all of the comments being made about Oregon Sportbike, I feel I need to make an explaination...
I started Eugene Sportbike in June of this year. That was ONLY 4 months ago. Since then the site has grown and continues to grow exponentially week by week. And as it is growing I have noticed a trend of registering members that do NOT live in Eugene, but who are riders who have a great desire to ride with groups, attend Bike Nights, and have a place to post events of their own. There are also ALOT of riders that check the site on a regular basis and have not joined because they feel its a "Eugene Only" thing. Many of the riders that are members are from outside the eugene area such as myself and Jane, Fade, Ledkat, Redkrr, Borntorace, Triplespeed, Mooneyes, Grimsley, along with about 50 other members.
So why didnt I just make this site "Oregon Sportbike" origonally? The simple truth is that I wanted too, but at that time, the domain name "oregonsportbike.com" was owned by someone else. Apparently someone purchased the name a while back with the intention of getting something going, and it just didnt work out. And this time it may not work out either, But wouldnt it be cool if it did? I mean can you emagine our little site growing to be the largest organized sportbike group in the state? We could plan events with other local groups in the state, have MASSIVE monthly bike days at various locations, meet even MORE people who share in our interests, Those local sportbike groups would have a place to call their own as well and yet be right there on our own site. We could invite the 503Extreme group, Kneedraggerz, the stunter group that are friends of Ron up in Portland, and so on. The more I think about this, the more it makes sense and is such a great idea.
Look, I dont want to see ANYONE give up Eugene Sportbike. I just would like to see Eugene Sportbike added to and on the forfront of this STATEWIDE group. Actually I NEED volunteers to help me get this thing running! I need dedicated people that can act as Administrators and moderators of the site and various areas of the site. I need people that would be willing to go to motorcycle events and stores and try to round up sponsors. I need graphic artists to help design the site, and shirts, and hats etc. I need people to plan and organize events for next summer, and I need EVERYONES input on what the site could use to make it just AWESOME!
So comeone people! Lets jump into this thing with both tires and see if it flies!:rad:
Thanks!
