Premium Member Program.

If you are interested in going premium/ad free , just send me a PM. 

 

Hey we are a rider owned and run forum, so even though we have ads, we don't checkmark that box to upload visitor info to the advertisers, and we never will.  But because of that, our ad revenue is very low. 

 

Forums have premium member programs and the privately owned forums use them to pay for the greatly expensive cost of pic hosting.   Bike forums post a ton of pics so I can't keep footing the cost of this forum myself. 

 

Why we don't use free offsite pic uploading.   Remember Photobucket and all those years of pics on thousands of forums that went dead last year when Photobucket's new owners went to paid only hosting?  That can and probably will eventually happen to most free data saving options, and we don't want to lose your pics. Cool, right? 

 

Pic hosting on the servers we manage is offset by people who have saved money by no longer having to pay dealer pricing  for 40-80% of the bikes maintenance and most all upgrades.

 

That's the most popular pm I get from new members,  thanks for saving me $$$-$$$$ in not needed dealer service bills.

 

So, I created a much expanded premium member program that's a fraction of even one of our tech tips save you at the dealer.

I hope that more people upgrade..... This is the BEST run forum that ever I've belonged to. Lets make this the the "gold standard" in how a forum should be!!! This costs money.... We all throw money at aftermarket parts- for $50 a year/$4.99 month, we can all share information in a very effective manner. Let's make this WORK- we will all benefit from it

Writers can earn premium memberships too, so can certain and new DIY tip threads wth pics and well written instructions. 

 

In fact, if anyone is checking their valves, a lifetime membership will be awarded to a valve check and/or adjust article.   

 

Certain thread posts will be chosen also for inclusion in "our picks" on the front of the forum.

I was scrolling through the parts for sale forum the other day and saw the % of your sales and no replies and thought hang on a minute!! How much have I saved on buying parts, add-on's, and most of all knowledge gained from information I couldn't obtain elsewhere. I should donate a portion of that to the forum. Then this showed up, Done.
