BIG CHANGE to site

[Freebird]

Our site has really declined over the past few years.  I think it's a combination of some of our ,members simply aging out and the fact that Facebook has taken over a lot of this type site.  After much consideration, I have made a big decision in an effort to keep this place going.  I have promoted all current subscribing members to Lifetime Members.  That means that you will no longer have to pay.  My way of thanking you all for the years of support.  

NOTE:  I THINK you all need to go to you PayPal account and cancel your membership there if you have it set to auto renew.  I can't do that from buy end.  

There will still her a one time membership of 12.00 for any new ,members.  This ix just an attempt to dissuade spammers from joining.  

I also extend this offer to any of our old members who have let their memberships expire.  If you are one of those,,. Just send ,e a message and I will reinstate you.

Thanks, Don.   

  I'll be here as long as it exists....or I do.....

  Thanks for all you do.   !!!

Thanks Bob I have always enjoyed your site. Got alot of info from it

If we leave the 12.00 going is still goes to you correct?  Letting it continue is much easier than trying to figure out how to stop it.

Yes. But you don’t have to.

Maybe "Don't have to" but I will! This forum is by far the best online family one could ask for.

Thank you Don, for all that you do to keep this site going

[Marcarl]

Yahhhh, I don't visit as much as I used to, but I still love the site for what it gives us,, well at least some of us. Thanks for keeping it going Don.

Thanks, but I didn't mind paying the fee.  I've gotten so much information and entertainment from this site.

Thank you Don for all you do!  I glad I got to meet you at the last maintenance day. I really enjoyed it. I just wished I had come to earlier one’s.

Don,

This site has been a huge source of information, guidance, and motivation for me ever since I purchased my 85 Venture Royale.  All of my interactions with other members have felt like conversations over the fence with a neighbour. You created an amazing site that fosters the feeling of community.  I applaud you for that. If it's all the same to you I'll let PayPal do it's thing until that day comes when I see "404 Page Not Found"  Until then....THANK YOU!

I think the same way and I know it cost you to keep it going, so I'll just leave it as is.

Thanks Don,

I  joined 10 years ago back in 2016 after buying my first bike, an 08 Venture in the fall of 2015, over the years I have gleaned boat loads of useful information to help me with my ride which is still that first Venture.

Just changed my Paypal auto pay to this site.  Thank you once again Don.  I am just curious as to how many members do we actually have for VentureRider.  

[sleepy2]

What @Midicat & @Woody said ,also what I told guys at work about Lottery, will be here till everyone gives in!!!!  ALWAYS worth the money!!!

[Junior]

I feel the same as the others, I will gladly continue to pay what it cost to keep my membership in effect. Thank you for all you do.

Thank you Don for your dedication to this site and all of us who have benefited from the years of experience and knowledge from its’ members. A clearinghouse of wisdom is what it is!

I think it’s only around 285.  At one time we were close to 2000
