Hey, just wanted to give you guys some background on what the members of Allthingsmoto.com are doing:

“Helping riders up one penny at a time”…

Sounds simple doesn’t it? The members of Allthingsmoto.com have teamed up to do just this. A member who goes by the screenname “Macho393” came up with the idea after meeting a few members from RiderDown.org in October at the Fifth Annual Garrett Berg Remembering Those Who Rode race. He knew there was something that ATM could do to help out the RiderDown folks, no matter how small it would seem. He remembered how his kids had once done a penny drive and over a one month period had collected nearly $3,000. The mission is simple, collect your pennies until the next GMB race. We will tally up all the change and donate the entire amount to RiderDown. Members have also placed jars at local shops to gain more support for RiderDown and hopefully spread the word. So save your pennies and let’s do what we can to help our fellow riders up!

Somehow or another, I've been deemed the official penny taker-upper.:Powerslide: So save your pennies, or loose change, or whatever you can and if at all possible, bring it to Texas next October. I suspect I'm going to be counting pennies for a long time, but it'll be well worth it!

Tell you what John, I'll post it over there and see what everyone thinks. I don't really frequent any other moto forums, aside from ATM and here. But, I'm sure some of our members do and could post it up. Great idea!

Great idea - everyone around here enjoys a little competition right? Lets see if any other forums have the Huevos to accept the challenge and compete with the gang at ATM! :cheers:
