Milville Outdoor National prediction: Dr. D's Ben Evans
I have a bold prediction for the Lites class in two weeks. Making his AMA pro debut, newcomer and former Loretta Lynn's 125A (I think it was that class)/Canadian outdoor winner phenom Ben Evans will make the top 10. And seeing as how Canard won't be there, if by chance Ben gets lapped he should at least be allowed to finish. Kidding, Trey.
Blue Ribbon Coaliton membership giveaway starts now...
This is being posted in the WR Yamaha Thumper Talk forums within moments of each other. The first US resident to answer the question will receive a Blue Ribbon Coalition Gift Membership (which includes a subscription to their magazine). There is no catch other than to answer this….
According to the BRC site, when was the Blue Ribbon Coalition born?
Based on the Thumper Talk time stamp, I’ll contact the first correct answerer via PM to get their mailing address, and we’ll submit the info on the sharetrails.org site.
According to the BRC site, you will be sent a welcome packet with your membership card, pin, decals, and a helpful booklet of information about grassroots advocacy. This may take up to six weeks, so please be patient. You should also be receiving your first issue of BlueRibbon Magazine within 4-6 weeks.
Thanks!

Pink Link: Susan G. Komen
Every two weeks we donate money to Blue Ribbon Coalition to help in their fight to keep our public riding lands open. At dinner it was mentioned we should make a limited edition run of YamaLinks in pink....and donate a portion of proceeds to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
Thing is, our target demographic of Yamaha riders who need/want/would like a lowering link for their bike is small so even if we only make 20 pink YamaLinks it could be FOOOREVER until we sell them. But this isn't about sales when you look at it in the big picture. It's about helping good causes whether they be Blue Ribbon Coalition, a downed rider fund or anything similar.
Or do you think it's better to just keep things non-pink and donate to the Susan G. Komen Foundation as-as if a rider indicates so.

Remember "Coming to America" with Eddie Murphy
Where there was a restaurant with altered golden arches. McDowell's, I believe it was called.
Just received this random email from someone on an extended backroads tour on their WR250....
"The hotel I stayed in was cheap and clean, but kinda sketchy. It was called "Clarino" and had huge letters on the top floor of the building that were illuminated at night. I thought, "hmmm, it's so similar to Clarion." Well, upon walking to my room, there were "Clarion" floor mats and other Clarion signs throughout the hotel. So, this place was obviously a Clarion hotel previously, but who ever purchased it simply switched the large letters on the top of the building to read "Clarino." I was looking forward to the advertised pool, hot tub, and workout facility. Ok, there were some treadmills, that seemed ok and one lady was in there using one, but the multi-use strength machine was so rusty, broke down, and unusable, I thought I would contract tetanus just by looking at it. Oh, then the pool room was locked with a notice posted by the city stating that the facility was deemed unfit/unsafe for public use. Awesome to the max."

yamaha lowering link purchased by the friendly competition
I'm sure Bill Gates has a MacBook, and I'm sure Pepsi has a few empty Coke cans laying around. Now you can add one of our friendly competitors to the list: they ordered an 08 WR YamaLink. Same person who left a naive-sounding voicemail a few months ago placed the order (by far the sweetest voice of all those who called on her behalf). Heck, they didn't even ask for dealer pricing (but we let them know in the invoice that next time we'll cut 'em a deal :P)
Gotta love reverse engineering. Seriously, competition in the marketplace benefits everyone when done respectfully (so says page 4 of our oooold freshman year marketing/business book).

Away from the phone for a bit...
We'll be test riding/hammering the snot out of some 2009 Yamahas starting Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon. Thought we'd let you know in case the phone kept ringin' and ringin'.
There will be a Blackberry somewhere in the truck, and we'll do our best to keep in touch for the 24 hours; a few YamaLinks will be prepackaged in case we get the opportunity to drop some off at a rural post office.
