MidgetTodd Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 this sounds like a good idea......... but I will have a horrible time actually working and doing productive things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleCock Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 We already do memorial rides for fallen riders. I think the site being down for a day will remind a whole lot of people (roughly 1000 - 1400 visit each day) to ride safe, watch out for crazy fuckers on cell phones, to wear gear, etc.duly noted. I was just offering substitute to shutting down the .net for 1 day...if my life is taken while I'm riding, I wouldn't want this site or any internet site shut down for that day. I would hope my friends could find a more fitting way to commemorate and celebrate my life. now if you're motive is to shut down the site for a day to promote and practice safe motorcycle riding (ride safe, watch out for crazy fuckers on cell phones, to wear gear, etc.) then we've got a whole 'nother disagreement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleCock Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 addendum: not trying to start anything, but what if we made poll asking if people would like to participate in group ride on day X to commemorate all of the fallen riders from years past? I'm sure we'd have the same vote (90% for) and the same overwhelming positive response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4iBunny Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Maybe take the memorial page from the day of silence and add a "In memory of" section on the forum. Why not do the day of silence AND a memorial ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Also, we could all remove one piece from our motorcycles... I call seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Good idea, but like some others, I don't know what I would do with my day!Actually, 3-17 is already a special day for me, as that was my mom's birthday. I always remember that day much more than the day she died. I'm also all for a memorial ride. Of course, everyone had better have all their gear on for it!

hue jass Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 The 5 who said NO is a joke, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 The 5 who said NO is a joke, right?I was wondering the same thing.A also think group rides from all over the state meeting at a cental location would be pretty cool.

cmoosego Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 If you'd like I can put together a meet on that day at the KofC, and maybe put together some sort of plaque or something like it to put the names on.... I'm open to ideas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcan_Rider Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 The only problem I see with this is that it is Saint Patricks day and I generally stay off the bike that day. I dont mind the forum being offline that day but as far as a ride goes maybe the weekend before or after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonzie Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Maybe take the memorial page from the day of silence and add a "In memory of" section on the forum. I was thinking about that.
