I just have an idea to support our riders at the nationals . Please let me know what you think of our planned concept.
We would like to reward every YSS shock equiped rider for getting a overall place on the podium .
Lets say we give credit vouchers $500 for first , $200 for second and $ 100 for third . Should there be no podium getters, ( I hope there will be of course ) we would reward the highest YSS place getter with a $50 voucher and a box of Link goodies . ( Motul )
Is that a good Idea or not?

Walter, i'm unlikely to place on the podium at the Nats and i don't have any of your products but i reckon your support and this idea are fantastic!
-
Very generous Walter,but we think you should just go there to ride and enjoy.
Cheers S&A WA
-
I hope to ride as a private person but the proposed sponsorship would be on behalf of the company.
Who knows , I might be getting a voucher too :D
-
Yeah good on you Walter, I really hope the racers appreciate your generocity by supporting YSS in return. Klub Kevlar are considering sponsoring the Pre 65 class, purely because we believe the class needs all the promotion it can get. Not being a business we'll get zero out of it except the warm fuzzies from seeing the ''true vintage" class being successful.

Hey, shit, maybe I should go to the nats, after all..... :o
-
We gladly pay ,when that is the case ;)
-
Great stuff Walter, wonder if any other manufacturers stump up some contingency money?
-
I hope so ;) Thats the idea
-
what about approching one of the other AUS vintage suppliers who advertise in VMX? maybe others will get on board too
-
Leith with your contacts should be able to bring other brands on board easy. ( you are an advertiser too ?)
-
no advertising from me, got too much work as it is. i was more thinking of vintage plastics/mainly maico etc who ever adverises in VMX mag already
-
See Leith , you can not see the big picture . You can not bleed small businesses . The companies you mentioned are enthusiasts limited to VMX only and dont get the return for the outlay. But you as an agent for all those big companies should be able to raise money easy.

Hey Walter, I like your style.

...We would like to reward every YSS shock equiped rider for getting a overall place on the podium...

Great idea Walter! And very generous of you.
It reminds me of the yellow/black 'Camel' bibs worn by the European GP riders back in the day.
What was the deal?
I think the Rider would win $500 or so if they qualified in the first ten places (only if they wore the bib).
Something like that anyways...
It's all about marketing.
-
Thanks Wombat for your comment . When we hade to wear the Camel bibs , it was part of a sponsorship on behalf of the organiser . Your number was allocated for each event . ( Still remembering the race in France with Nr 1 on it, the only time in europe for me . Australia probably was the first letter in the alphabeth )
-
Walter your a champ. If I was good enough ;D and was going to CD6 I would win and turn around and buy another set of shocks from you for my project bike. why would you look anywhere else for shocks YSS all the way. jimson

From the numerous replys and PM s , I would like to clear up the following :
There is no hidden agenda behind this offer . We only like to send the message that we stand behind the product , we are involved right down to the enduser level and use that firsthand knowledge to flow straight into production and make quick changes if need to be.( there have been many changes ) Any other competitor is welcome to do the same. This is how it used to be , but most of them have fergotten about their beginnings and now live from their name. The bottom line of this proposed promotion is simply to say " Thank you for using our product , you have done well , we continue to stand behind you " thats all. 8)

Why don't you turn it around and give the prizes to the last 3 place getters. That way the losers finally get a win.
Heck, 99% of us will be battling for that ;D
