Jeff I was getting worried that more and more auctions would all of a sudden turn the forum into our own little eBay. You had your three auctions then there was GMC's pipe, Daves PLB and DJs sign all vying for our dollars. On to of that Paul kindly donated a signed Roger D Jersey and two other donors have sent me items that they wanted put up as well. What's up at the moment is fine, but any more may overload the system, especially if two of the forthcoming items are very similar. Then we have the speakers that Mark has kindly donated.
Don't get me wrong this is great fun...shit, I'm even bidding and I'm the fundraiser! Having said that I want as much moolah as possible and figure spreading it out a bit might be less crowded and confusing. I don't want to see less popular items brushed aside because something shinier comes along. We want to raise as much money as we can for every item
That's my 2 bobs worth but what do I know about these things?
Brad Lackey contacted me today and he told me that he's going to a Tony D benefit later in the month where all of the old pros will be attending and will get as much stuff including the number plates donated by Basil autographed by the guys. Super Hunky, Bob Hannah, Neil Hudson, Graeme Noyce and Harry Everts have also promised to sign Basils number plates as well as donating other stuff. We did have a committment from Shane Watts but he'd having his own spinal problems after a crash during one of his riding schools a week or so ago. I get the warm fuzzies when the big guys support a little guy they've never heard of. I guess it's a brotherhood thing.
