Pay It Forward is a forum of good will. The focus of Pay It Forward is to help BadWebbers that are in need of gear or parts. Most of us have spare parts or gear that are collecting dust or taking up room in the closet or garage. Why not share with your fellow BadWebbers. These items are not for sale, that’s what the classifieds are for. Those receiving items are responsible for shipping cost unless other arrangements are made between the two parties involved.

You can post parts or gear you wish to offer and/or post your need of gear or parts. You may also send a PM to Ulywife or e-mail directly to ncgirl (at) earthlink (dot) net. Our main focus is good basic street gear for adult riders and their children who may ride with them. Parts are generally offered to those who have gone down and will help get their bike back on the road again with minimal out of pocket expense.

The catch to Pay It Forward is just that, Pay It Forward when you can in the future. If you have received parts or gear and are no longer in need of said item, it should be passed to the next person as long as the item is still in good condition. These items should not be sold as it totally defeats the purpose of Pay It Forward.

Currently the Pay It Forward project has three custodians: Molly_hatchet (Brian), Tx05xb12s (Philip) and Ulywife (Kristi). You can find the Pay It Forward thread in with the RAN. This will only allow registered BadWebbers to gain access to this forum. Remember, you must be signed in to view the RAN/Pay It Forward Section. We welcome any comments or suggestions and hope that this is just the beginning of Pay It Forward.

Thanks to all who have played a part in making Pay It Forward a reality!

I have a question. What will prevent someone from creating an account just to have access to free gear?

Also, I'm totally ignorant of what you mean by "RAN"...?

RAN = Rider Assistance network

This is supposed to be done in good faith, if people abuse it there won't be anything more offered in very short order.

yes good faith is the idea..to help our fellow badwebbers and those they know to get the basic safety gear needed for them selves their children and sometimes friends....we are not offering new icon or dainese gear here the stuff is usualy older maybe a tear here or there but still plenty safe...i dont think to many people will go out of their way to get an older jacket or gloves or whatnot..if so well then..thats their problem things like that sort themselves out eventualy...most of the people that have posted need are known on this forum...so far someone trying to get something for free just cause it is free hasnt been an issue....and the idea is when i can u should pitch in if u got something...pay it forward...so far , seems ta work : D . thanx to everybody that has been kind enough to give...there will be many more safer riders out there this season.

Oh, how funny! I just discovered I NEVER log in... that's why I haven't seen the RAN section. My browser automatically fills in my name/password per post, so I've never done a "full" login. My bad!

I think we've all done that before. I didn't realize it didn't show until I was updating it and couldn't find it!

Swordsman,

I just did a test. I logged out, no more RAN visible on main topics page, then posted--had to enter username and pw. I was then able to view the RAN. You may need to enable cookies in your user profile for that to work, I'm not sure.

Scamming is never good will, that will come back to you double. Just watch Earl to know that ;) Molly_hatchet (Brian), Tx05xb12s (Philip) and Ulywife (Kristi) You all are doing great work, thanks for paying it forward and helping others to ride safer.
