Quit tempting me Jeff......We have so much going on here in Texas in Sept and Oct that it's hard to find time to go to work.

Y'all have a great event, be safe.....Give us a report when it's all over.

Jeff - how was the Jamboree?

This past weekend was a busy one across the country for RDF. We were doing fundraisers to support injured riders in CA, CO & OH. :thumb

The event was fun... I cemented some relationships with key players in the SoCAL area that are the future of off roading locally. Was able to improve on my costs for the bike for the upcoming bike raffle to benefit RDF & Smiley. Didn't do much end user work as Yoda had to stay home with her Father heading to the hospital suddenly. This impacted my booth capabilities greatly. Hung my banner... sold a few shirts... could have sold 3 times as many if I had the sizes and colors needed.

Told the RDF story to folks... Ran into John George (Saint John) the wheel chair lift man ! We headed out to the mud bog for a bit. All the RIDERS members ran the Poker Run this morning and had a great time this weekend.

Thinking out loud... people want BRIGHT BRAND COLORS. I could have sold that one 2XL orange shirt 15 times. We need HONDA Bright RED, KTM ORANGE, YAMAHA BLUE & SUZUKI YELLOW. The Burgundy/Gray is professional looking no doubt but is it getting us the attention it should ? To me it says "Corporate", "Conservative", "Dull", "Boring" to a crowd that is all about RAGING COLORS on noise making, tire smoking, adrenalin pumping OHVs.

If I had these other colors waving in the wind people would buy them up like crazy or at least be drawn to come check out the cool shirts to see what they are... and give me a chance to talk to a LOT MORE people. I just feel we need to JAZZ it up ! Pump it with a dose of FUN ! The subject matter is very serious no doubt... but our marketing does not need to be.

Glad to see your event went well.
Hope Yolanda's Dad is OK.

Right on with the shirt thoughts.

I think we need all that you suggested but in tees and riding jerseys also. Preferably vented and non vented riding jerseys.

Tatonka......Who's our point person for this? Or am I about to volunteer?

BOLT.....Keep up the great work.
