Get the donations started...

As John's technology advisor... ( i.e the technogeek) I felt obliged to validate the JUSTGIVING DONATION PAGES

For the guys at work... JOHN will be passing around with sponsor forms, where you can sponsor a set amount or by number of landmarks achieved. I think the latter will be best as it will push John to complete as many as possible.

I have made my starting contribution to the cause...so the donations web pages work... let's keep them going.

GO ON give them a go!

Good luck John! and let's see how far we can push you for charity!

(pink tutu's anyone?...) ;-)

a fruity yet important message...

Hello John I thought I would help a bit more by adding a bit of advise from the Everyman Charity.

Everyman

enjoy...( I did)

Caption Competition...

Here it is ... The "legend" and the rider

Well after many preparations and makeover arrangement, here it is. The new two-tone paint job with a bit of a twist.

So! what do you think? Now it is up to you which one you would like to support.
For the more femenine side of the fund raise activity.

Or perhaps go for the more man-side orientated fundraise :

The rally starts in April but there are still a few things to sort out, for example a luggage rack and small to medium sized top box, any donations gladly received...Other offers such as pink furry seat covers would be considered for the right amount of donation... maybe.

Todays Run

Today I had a lovely ride in the sunshine to the National Motorcycle Museum, the end point of the Fred Hill memorial run organised by the West Midlands MAG. My attendance was to gauge reaction to the "PINK" honda, and to get me into the swing of promoting the charities. I think about 75-100 bikes turned up, the bulk made up from members of the Unwanted MCC and the
Boring Old Farts MCC. A lot of very friendly people who made an "outsider" on a "Pink Honda" feel welcome, a few even took leaflets.

We gathered in a room which the museum had kindly provided, listened to a speech by one of MAG's officials about their work with the UK government; the FEMA with the EEC, then finished off with a summary about the late Fred Hill and a minutes silence. Finally a collection, the sound of coins falling into a bucket is a proven pyschology that works. I even bought a sew on patch (don't know who's going to do that job....)

Another idea.....who makes these patches......and whats the margin?

Then upstairs to the museum cafe, where you can get a good cup of tea for 85p, and where I overheard:
"Christ thats a frothy cup of tea" to which came the reply, "Its a frothy coffee.....a cappucino"
"Bloody hell, you'll be buying a Ducati next!"

Sorry no pics at the event, they were to be candid ( I hate posing) however
my photographer (my son) has a new girlfriend and has been AWOL most of the
weekend......

have fun stay safe
John
