I was just doing the 10,000th Buell search of my life. It's the first time I've seen this:

International Buell Riders Day

Only 9 (oops, make that 10 : ) )people around the world signed up for this "event". What's even funnier, there are 3 locations in Green Bay alone for this event. I'm questioning if there are even 3 Buells in Green Bay : D

We should all sign-up and really fu@k with them

I'm doing the international Buell tour - 1800 KM in the french alps - all curves, 22 mountain passes over 5000 feet - 40 KM's up!

No need of paying someone to babysit - just a buddy on a 1200S & my 12S.

My initial guess is this.

The website offers that any group can use it as a way of meeting people with similar interests.
It lets you know that there are people out there that have those interests giving you some information, enough to get you interested but not enough to actually arrange anything.
Once you are there they let you know that you can find out more by giving them money.
They do provide the service they say they will so it isn't a scam per say, but they are offering us a lot less than we already get for free here.

It's great for them because once you get it working for one group it is cheap as hell to get the thing working for a bunch more.

The question is how much is it worth to you?

Hey folks. I started the Buell riders "meetup" last November. I read about it being the next big thing on the Web, but now we finally have a BRAG Club here in Central Ohio, so I pretty much let it go. Here is the "letter of approval" that I got from the Meetup Site Owners (I had to think of a bunch of different names, following their guidelines, until I came up with one they liked!!). International Buell Riders Meetup Day, you like??? pretty cool sounding, huh?? :

Hello,
This is Laura from Meetup. I wanted to let you know that your Buell Riders topic is now live.

You can check it out, sign up and find details here:* http://buell.meetup.com/

It may have been several weeks since you submitted your suggestion, and I apologize for the delay. There are currently thousands of topics waiting for activation, and more submitted
every day. We are trying our best, so thanks for your patience.

Let's get this off to a great start! In our experience, we've found two crucial elements for a successful Meetup.

1) Good Venues. We've tried to get the best possible venues, but we're not perfect (yet). If you have any suggestions for venues, you can submit them here:* http://buell.meetup.com/suggest/venue/

2) Bigger groups make better Meetups. Our users have told us meeting 3 other people is great, and meeting 6 is even better If you have a website, post a link about International Buell
Riders Meetup Day. We made some links that you can find here:* http://buell.meetup.com/share/

Don't forget, Meetup+ members can nominate a venue directly onto the ballot. They set agenda items and publish notebooks, too. Meetup+ is a great way to contribute to your Meetup
community. Learn more here:
* http://buell.meetup.com/plus/

If you know other Buell Motorcycle Riders, you can invite them along here:
* http://buell.meetup.com/tellfriends/

Finally, post to sites, lists, groups, and discussion boards so other folks can find out about Meetup.

Please let me know of any questions, comments, or tips for us. Thanks for the suggestion! Active users like you are helping Meetup thrive.

Have a great Meetup!
Laura



It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I don't know if it's worth pursuing any further. You know all those "Find your old high school classmates" things you see all over the web. That's kind of how this "Meetup" deal works.


Oh, I almost forgot to mention, I haven't and I ain't gonna give them a dime of my money!!
Mike.
