Thanks to everyone that updated their Member Map info. I didn't intend to PM everyone but couldn't figure out how to just send it to those members who didn't have a pin.
Which then gave me a little idea. We have our regular users who visit the site regularly and seasonal users who probably visit in Spring/Summer. Because I sent the PM to everyone yesterday we've had the seasonal users login as well. So I'm thinking it's worth while to send a monthly newsletter via PM just to give everyone abreast of the key topics/news?
Good idea/bad idea? I don't want to be seen as spamming users.
Seriously I think that is a brilliant idea. :yes:
A monthly newsletter, a few simple stories of what people have been upto, photos, forthcoming meets, events, bike shows, etc, :clap:
Lets do it!! :biker3:
:tank:
Do it. You could mention exciting things like the new smilies!
:smartass: ..... I like it , but then again i easily pleased
Yup, good idea :tank:
Yeah very good - I'm allready looking forward to the news regarding the inner bags, then theres the product reviews ... of the inner bags, news of special offers.. on the inner bags.....
A monthly newsletter would be good, especially if you can get deals on new PR3 tyres etc, I am sure there would be quite a few people on here like me who would buy things they know there going to need sometime soon if they were cheaper.
Keep up the good work.

One more thing. Can we please have a Smiley with a visible nipple.
It would be perfect for keeping abreast of things.
..... I'll get my lid,.....
:banana:
Excellent idea .... this place goes from strength to strength thanks to the likes of YOU :banana:
Tales of the inner bags from around the globe... new this month _________________
The newsletter could be called Inner Bags - Lining News in the Panniers of the GTR owner
.......and can we have an update on inner bags equipped with flashing lights?
And of course we need to be kept up-to-date if and when ROSPA and/or IAM have exams how and where to use them safely.
:agree: Damn good idea young man. :smiley:
[color=blue]Yeah I think that's a good idea, just don't lumber yourself with a lot of extra work...maybe we could have four newsletters per annum..make 'em seasonal.
I know from experience how difficult it can be to obtain contributions after a while
just my 10 penneth :smiley:[/color]
A further thought...maybe the proposition could be put to a members vote ...or maybe that's too much/extra admin
Great Idea, but it's lots of work....more than the think. To quote....

Oh and to change the topic ..... "thanks for all the fish"...
Well, its not going to be War and Peace ...
I'll have a stab at doing a March newsletter and see what the response is like
Three more members to pin themselves and we've reached 100 members on the map (http://www.gtr1400.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=googlemap) :clap:
Have to admit a lot of work, i was a member of a ducati site called ducatisti, the guy that ran it did a fantastic job very popular but unfortunately it all got a bit too much ( family issues ) and the site has now closed down, hopefully it will return at somepoint.
I do agree a quaterly newsletter would be good.

:mfr_lol: Large print ?????
One small and one large of course ! :mfr_lol:
when you're olde, like me, its hard to see the small print and the larger variety is much ,more convenient :mfr_lol:
Since it's gonna be a webpage or a PDF file, then you can all just learn to use the damned zoom buttons!
If you don't know how in your Web Browser, then hold down the CTRL key and move your mouse wheel.
As if Asif needs any more of this kind of help. (hey,... I made a funny :punk:)
You should all be offering to write articles for the newsletter.
Personally I think I am going to write about how KiPass helped enhance my manhood. :banana:
:mfr_lol:
So far we haven't been asked to assist with any topics for inclusion in the 'book'! :mfr_lol:
