I am not here to talk about the past. Ken and I have no beefs. I like the direction that CLSB and 2WC is heading. I believe in my heart that the community will be better in the current direction.

I love you Mao.

I agree. Ken has even offered Mao an opportunity to work together.


Dammit Mort, you just like stirring the pot don't you! Go back to work ya damn looney!

ChiefBD just loves riding, motorcycles, and a little drama thrown in every once and a while

I love you too. You know this already since we talk everyday on AIM. In a non-ghey way of course.

I made some inquires and this is not the intention.

i dont think anyone would honestly tell you what their real intentions are, if it is the case its a darn good idea, imagin having bike night at diffrent retail/dealers, bringing them all these people and in return getting their advertising money to post up the event on the site.
Its like being an event promoter at a night club, bring em in they soend their money get drunk you keep some door charge bux.

I was told that they were asked several times in the past to do this, but they couldn't because of sponsor conflicts. Now they don't have that problem. I think it is going to be a mix of restaurants and retailers. I don't think it will be strictly retailers.

either way im sure its money driven.

interesting. way back several years ago, i publicly proposed the idea of having bike night at my ex's restaurant in carpentersville. the idea was shot down fairly quickly, despite the offer of a humongous parking lot and food discounts to members.

I was told that this event is officially not a promotional event that is for the profit of CLSB. I was also told that CLSB is not a business any longer in the sense of collecting money or goods and services from sponsors. This change was made recently so I think that's why your restaurant idea was shot down before Cailin. It was in the business protection agreement of site sponsors or what not.

The question that should be asked isn't whether it is money driven or not. The important thing to ponder is will the attendees benefit from this?

I think you are way too hung up on this issue. Sometimes the best benefits are intangible.

free food? maybe some giveaways? door prizes? if it were my place of business I sure as hell would do all of the above and more. nothing like gettin all your potentiol customers to your place all at the same time to show em what you can do. in fact it would be stupid not to take advantage of the event.

I am not sure where you are heading with this. Tangible or intangible, I make no mention of either. What makes you think I am hung up on anything? I was merely trying to sway people's minds from the entire money driven issue. My point is as long as the attendees benefit from this, it's a good thing.

Not everything can can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted.

I see that now. I misread your post. My apologies for the confusion.

It's hard out there being a pimp
