Here within this forum, we have something that no one in the world has..... a person (Eric) who has a race team at the IOM TT... and is sending reports with pictures in near real time (each night)!!!!

All the time he is showing gixxer.com logos all over the place, On the bike, t-shirts, polo shirts, etc........ even for wheelie shots under the belly pan.

I am really depressed that we could not have raised a bit more cash for Eric so Dave could ride on a total gixxer.com paint scheme, this would have been very cool.

So if we figure that this year is shot (I do not know exactly how much cash be donated, it's got to be under $1500 USD), we should start collecting cash now for Eric's team for the 2004 IOM TT,

At the same time I thing we should contribute cash into a fund... for air tickets for a person (raffle it off if you wish) to get to go over to the TT and spend time in the pits with Eric.

We are talking about the cost of a beer or two, each month (must be 1000 people that would give $10/month around here).......Don't tell me that people around here can't afford that...

This race is big, the exposure that gixxer.com got from it is huge.......... we need t step up a bit and provide Eric with some real support for 2004.

We all get something from the gixxer.com site in one way or another, I think it's time to start giving back to the motorcycle community, what better way than to support Eric.

I'm a little shocked at the lack of support also...

Give it a little time and I think(hope) everyone will come around... I'd suggest making this thread a "sticky" at the top of General Discussion too...

I'd like to be one of the first to step up and GUARANTEE my support for the team at the '04 TT. I'm still pissed that I was too lazy to donate for this year. I guess the TT kinda sneaks up on us in the states.

Seems you guys have some excellent ideas for how to get this going... Whatever the case, when you begin accepting donations you can count on one from me.

I must also say that I was/am incredibly impressed by the results that Eric and crew have accomplished in this years TT. I'm equally impressed by the constant updates with tons of up to date information and pictures. It really is greatly appreciated.

Thanks and keep up the good work.
