Hey everyone,
Something happens to us bikers when we start talking over the tavern table. This has stuck with me. It became a benchmark in the hundreds of posts I scan/read each and every week. We as a group, well, we crack me up and make me laugh and make me smile.
I'm frakking PROUD to see so many brothers and sisters reaching-out to help other members in the early stages waaay before the trouble has begun to be identified.
I am posting for two reasons.
Because I want to offer a call-to-arms for the end-of-year EOBA Committee, please send me a PM if you have time to 100% commit, figure two hours a week from 12/1 to 12/20-ish but late-in-the-game it needs a few minutes every day. Adding 12/8/2019: there are no volunteers this year so there is no EOBA Committee. Next opportunity will be Summer 2020 although there is still no Manager named for the events.
Reason Two:
Its another decade behind us. Astounding. I want to issue another call-to-arms for selecting by member vote the 2019 Member of the Year. We have never done this before. Its about time we did. The world has changed and like 2017 and 2018, but to a greater accelerating level, 2019 has seen a beautiful melding of brilliant members with smart new members who graduated from facebook level into a technical level and that deserves celebration. Its frakking awesome in every language in the planet.
I appreciate you all helping me spend my $100 by voting for the one member you believe is the most representative of our Essence of Brotherhood in 2019.
That person might already be EOBA. If not, then this will result in EOBA being awarded, and its in addition to the normal awards. I will paypal the winner $100 usd and its global forget about map borders, paypal fees on me. We are global and who gives a **** about borders or rear view mirrors! I can say WHAT or WOT and we grin either way!
Please participate and pass the word. When you vote for a member, it can be anyone. Period. No need to explain. Your vote is your vote. If you vote twice I will only acknowledge your first post so take your time and vote your mind. Or if you change your mind then EDIT YOUR FIRST POST. Its a global forum. Please help me out!
I intend to announce the winner during the 2019 TOAST so who-ever is managing that thread this year please connect with me okay. Adding 12/8/2019: turns out nobody was starting the Toast thread so I started a thread, am hoping others will on-the-fly still help manage. Thanks.
If there are only a few votes then my job is easy. I hope you, my frakking fellow bikers, will vote your educated consciences and make my job harder!! Pass the word.
Adding 12/8/2019: as always, if the voted winner declines the prize/award then we will all accept it as Brothers and Sisters because we all understand no reason needs to be given. In that rare event the cash and EOBA award will go to the next in line.
Be safe this winter. Oh. And Vote.
