Tried to post this on the GDB, but no replies ... so here we go again: I'm going through stuff and cleaning out old magazines and such. Would 3 year of Cycle World, Sport Rider, Road Racing World and Fly Rod & Reel - years 2002 - April 2005 be something I should send to the troops in Iraq? Maybe just the latest year of each? If so, any info on where and how to send this out? Do we have any Badwebbers down there that'd be interested? Henrik | ||

that sounds like a good idea, where to send? do you have a plan on who will distribute them yet? If so let us know, I got a bunch I could send. Also, on the holidays I send phone cards to Walter Reed. They say they can't get enough of those either. But the guys over in the sandbox could get something out of the mags...sign me up.  | ||

Ive got lots of old magazines American Iron, Iron works, Cycle world, Motor trend etc. MAybe we could get a central point to send them from and a central point to recieve. Is that what you are looking for?  | ||
| Voltage_vector |
yeah, or at least a good reliable ship to point, and everyone could just send their own...my .02 worth.... | ||

Hey guys, i work right across from the CSH (combat support hospital) in Baghdad. i will send my address if you really want to send stuff and ill take it over to the soldiers who are in their recovering but not injured enough to be sent home right away. i dont have to tell you there are lots of them. or if you just think im a freak trying to get free stuff ill give you the name of the LTC Marine here. he gets boxes to any soldier all the time and takes them over. Tim | ||
| Chiefiron |
thats even better. Send to Any Soldier 86th (CSH) APO-AE 09316 they get their mail in the same spot i do. Tim | ||
| Voltage_vector |
Tim, your a true American. Thanks! | ||
| Court |
That is a valid address to send stuff to? Any Soldier 86th (CSH) APO-AE 09316  | ||

I'll send at least two boxes full. Maybe we could agree to be sure and put Bad Weather Bikers on all we ship, so they know that there's a group of folks who are doing it?  | ||
| CJXB |
ill take it over to the soldiers who are in their recovering That's sooo cool !!! | ||
| Court |
Hey. . . can we get www.badweatherbikers.com stickers made to go on all the magazines? I'll bet we could add 100 members and sell 25 Buells! Before you know it entrepreneurial Buell dealers would be creating "returning vet specials". P.S. - which reminds me. . . Southern Marine please CONTACT ME. | ||
| T9r |
Sell only 25 Buells... that's cutting yourself short. If you send them to Marines that return to Camp Lejeune the dealer would be swamped with requests to buy since HD/Buells can be bought thru the military exchange. Neat idea Court. Best way to sell a product would be word of mouth, free advertising. | ||
| Henrik |
...or if you just think im a freak...  Tim - I think we're all freaks. That just means you're among friends  Seriously though - Thank you so much for the info and address. As Court asked; if I go to the post office with that address, they'll know what to do with it? I seem to remember there is a certain type of shipping/postage for stuff sent to troops. Anyone remember what that's called? It'd supposedly drop the shipping cost a bit, and I've probably go some 30 pounds of magazines in those piles. Thanks again Henrik | ||
| Chiefiron |
They should but rest assured i will walk the stuff over my self. and as a matter of fact the post office is on that side of the street. Any Soldier C/O Tim Sutton PCO (electric sector) APO-AE 09316 thanks guys i know the soldiers will love the stuff. (dang ill do any thing just to get mail these days) LOL really thanks Tim | ||
| Chiefiron |
Henrik, i dont know about state side but for letter mail its free from here. its MPS (military postal system) we can even ship from one apo to another free. if you know any one posted over seas i bet they could ship big boxes here for free? | ||
| Henrik |
Excellent. Thanks for taking on the task Tim. Anything I can include for you? I'll start boxing things up and will hopefully have everything at the post office by Saturday. Henrik | ||
| Bcordb3 |
Tim, I was just cleaning my magazine shelf this morning. Look for an envelope filled with motorcycle stuff soon. I will included a bunch of Fuell Mags also. I am sure the guys/gals will enjoy them. God bless all of you. | ||
| Chiefiron |
I dont really need any thing, im pretty well paid and work mostly in the "IZ" now so i have access to all the BX/PX finery i can stand. im sure our injured men and women in uniform will appreciate any thing you send. Tim | ||
| Light_keeper |
I checked with the PO this morning. Anything we send will cost just like it is going to a US postal address. I will get some stuff together as well and get it out to you. | ||
| Henrik |
Tim; what size T-shirt do you wear - I may plan a raid on His Courtship's Buell Basement Henrik | ||
| Blublak |
Looks like another great BadWeb Mail over! I guess by now the 15lbs of M&Ms I sent are long gone.. Time to box up some Magazines, M&Ms, and whatever else I can think of and I'll ship it out in a few days.. | ||
| Crusty |
Sent some magazines today. I'll send more as I get them. | ||
| Donutclub |
Tim, Any desire for books (fiction novels) in addition to magazines? | ||
| Bcordb3 |
Tim, I posted a box of magazines this morning. I'm interested in seeing how long it takes to get to you. I sent a letter to myself and it took nearly a week. I still can't figure that one out. | ||
| Court |
>>>> I may plan a raid on His Courtship's Buell Basement Done. . . Tim, most of all THANK YOU from The Elves at Buell for all you are doing. Court | ||
| Henrik |
Yeeehaw. 41 lbs of magazines on the way Plus a "yet to be seen in public", brand spankin' new style Buell Racing T-shirt, autographed by the Man himself for you Tim. So don't forget to pop that box open when you receive it - and snag a few magazines for yourself while you're at it. Henrik | ||
| Chiefiron |
Cool guys thanks, i have already let the Spec 4 who runs the post office know that i will have stuff coming for the troops at the hospital. ill open it first for the shirt though. Tim | ||

Court - HD already sells Buells at a pretty deep discount here to deployed Soldiers. It's called the Exchange New Car Sales program. They sell cars and trucks too. They've got three Harleys here at Camp Arifjan, and every once in a while I go sit on one and make potato-potato sounds, (in my head, not out loud). After my last deployment to Iraq I was thinking about buying a Buell from them, but then decided to get it from a dealer near Fort Polk, LA where I was stationed. However, when I got extended past twelve months in country, the dealer couldn't hold onto the bike for me. I've decided to get my Buell from Clown (Cameron) at Stone Mountain HD/B in Atlanta, because I'd rather deal with an actual person rather than a guy over email or on the phone. I'm sure he'll give me a good deal. | ||

Sean, I would like to thank you and all the guys/gals who are serving this wonderful country in the middle east. Keep US posted on what is happening over there. The MNCBS or whatever it is called isn't. Again, God bless all of you. | ||
| Chiefiron |
 Got the first package today. a coupe cycle world and a road racing world. ill get them over to the hospital today. Thanks guys i know the soldiers will love them. Tim  |
