Site Support

This site is supported entirely by donations. We stopped accepting them for two years, but started again in March, 2003. At least once per month we update the total expenses and donations received. We will keep accepting donations until we've caught up and have a couple month's of hosting fees set aside. This is a non-commercial site, and donations are only used for outside expenses--all the labor is donated.

How much should you send? That's totally up to you. Many of us have benefited by being able to do our own maintenance or have discovered sources to purchase things at a cost savings. Some of us have also been able to sell our motorcycles or accessories in the Classifieds forum. Apart from all that, the friendships and time spent riding together are difficult to quantify.

If you are scraping by and don't have much money, don't worry about it. Just keep enjoying what's here and help later, when you can. We aren't going to suggest any amount, or even list it. Out of gratitude for your help, we will list your name (unless you request anonymity) as a "Friend of the Site" (see below). There are two ways to donate.

First, you can go to PayPal and choose to "Send Money" to lesismore@pacbell.net. If you don't already have an account with them, you can set one up. It's quick and free. We've set it up so that you can use your credit card or your checking account. Be sure to include your name as you'd like it to appear on the Friends of the Site page. Incidentally, it's a verified, premier, secure account.

Second, you can send funds directly to the following address:

    Leslie Edmonds
    5358 Adams Ave.
    San Diego, CA 92115-3503
