Day of silence for fallen riders?

[MidgetTodd]

this sounds like a good idea......... but I will have a horrible time actually working and doing productive things

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

[EagleCock]

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

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?

Also, we could all remove one piece from our motorcycles... I call seat.

Great idea.

[KL9 F4i]

Excellent Idea For Sure!

[clearfire]

good idea..

[jporter12]

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!

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.

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...

[ninjachk08]

i'm all for it! and i'll definately be adding my friend to the list

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.

I was thinking about that. I think so.

That's how I did it on the DTC forum
