Hello, I'm trying to drum up some more activity for the pay it forward program we've started here on BadWeB. The idea goes like this....If you have any old or spare riding gear you post it up as available to a BadWeBber in need. and if you need gear you post up that need too. When things work as they should someone that would not be riding in gear will get the gear they need for the cost of shipping, and sometimes the donor even covers that. This is all done strictly on the honor system. BadWeB and Blake are in no way responsible for this program other than giving space to us (in the Rider Assistance Network board) so that we can connect people up. Please help us to keep the system working and viable by following the spirit of the board...give what you can, and take only what you need. Kristi (Ulywife) has worked hard to keep things organized and up to date as well as helping Brian (Molly_Hatchet) with the founding of the program. As most everyone knows by now I am about the biggest supporter of ATGATT that there ever was so I am PROUD to be a helper in the program and would LOVE to do anything I can to get people that would otherwise go without into riding gear. Here is a link for those having trouble locating the board..(I'm sure that's why donations have dropped off, right?) http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/board-auth.cgi?lm=1177380889&file=/42/270673.html (Message edited by diablobrian on August 13, 2007) |

Its a great idea, I know that I have helped with a jacket, pair of boots and some armored gloves. Its good to see people riding, better to see that they are not being squidly about it ;) PS that Bell helmet from the 70s... more of a memorabilia item than protective. ;P |

I gave up my old Katana. Although, that guy did me the favor by taking it! |

Although my gear is currently trashed due to my recent highside, numerous parts were distributed to keep people on two wheels. Great program we have going here but it should have it's own thread or category for people in need. Not too many people are aware that it exists and have no clue where to find it (I didn't) |

That's one of the reasons I posted this up here...To raise awareness. |

Not too many people are aware that it exists and have no clue where to find it (I didn't) Blake put it in with the RAN so that only registered members can access it. We are very thankful for those who have participated in the Pay It Forward here through BadWeB, and for those who have done it for many years without a formal format. It's part of the BadWeB charm!
