RE: Help a friend
It's not that everyone doesn't want to help. Unfortunately these are extremely hard times for everyone. People have to sell their bikes just to make it through. This month i'm not going to be able to pay for my car payment. I hope the bank will have some mercy on me, there isn't much I can do though. I can't work for atleast another week. And after that it will be painfull work. Bottom line. I wish i could help, I really do. But in this sh*thole econemy no body can make it. Maybe it's different for you aussies. Maybe ill move there..still got a spare room, Steve?

Man I hope so. I have worked pretty hard to keep my credit score high. Its at 840 something now. And it took alot to get it there. (i payed off 3 loans before i even turned 18) So that went twoards it. Never missed a payment. And I hope I dont have to this time. I guess i could always sell some stuff I dont need out of my mancave.
Yes, I call my room the "mancave" Cause:
Its got a new computer with a 22" flat pannel
A 40" Flat pannel HD LCD. (1080p)
sony 5.1 surround sound setup.
a PIRANHA tank.
mini fridge
2 xbox 360s.
2 full dvd/game racks.
Yeah, I wasted alot of money when i was young. But it was all so worth it

RE: Help a friend
I understand its hard for some ....although I think may be to cappuccino's worth of cash may not wreck any ones bank much worse than it already is..
I am not independently wealthy either guys ...
We are in an economic down turn at the moment , but as a rule at the moment their is still allot of building industry and quite a bit of other Tech work around..
look at the bright side of bugging out Jd ....its sunny and warm here
and....
Yup...we still have the spare room mate ... for the save a freezing US youth program

RE: Help a friend
Thanks Voodo
I also understand that many just look at this as a waste of time to some degree , because what can a few hundred bucks really do or how much could that help ??
Well i would like you too remember that it is not only the few bucks that counts , it is the good will that we are showing and the feeling of being cared about that your few bucks gives the person concerned as well ...
Ever feel like no one cares anymore in this world guys?? .....
well this little effort proves at least some do still friggin care ...
I think no matter how small the effort is ..it is well worth it, even if its just to make "me" feel like I am doing some bloody good for someone somewhere that appreciates it ...

RE: Help a friend
Steve and Pete,
You probably both know another member was helped here. This is one of the main reasons I am here...people care. Thank you for starting this up, it is a worthy cause. People should not feel obligated to help because it is a rough economy to be sure. I didn't think I was going to make it several months ago. If you do think of what Classic said, it is a valid point. Instead of going to Starbucks one morning, and buying a bottled water that afternoon...send five dollars to help a brother out. This is legit, and I am proud to help. If you can't help...send happy thoughts and know that someone we care about is getting and early Christmas present.

Voodoo i want to add to your post, if i may, and say that I also received a helping hand from one of our fellow 954 riders when i was down and out with no money to try to get my bike back on the road(Thanks bro). While i may not be able to pay that person back directly i would like to contribute back to the forum that were all apart of and hope that the person receiving help this time will remember and help out the next guy that needs it. I dont mind giving up my Mcdonalds and a few drinks at the bar this week to help someone out, I dont need that crap in my body anyway. Im sure everyone has something they can give up for a week and lend a fellow rider a helping hand.
Classic hit me up with that info please.
