Ok...here is the deal. I was using this dating site to meet women for the last 3 years or so (with pretty decent success), but I lost all desire for that bullshit.
BUT, I have discovered that there was more available on this site. There are TONS of bikers. Customs, Harleys, Sportbikes...male and female. There is 980134 members on this site. all in the province of Quebec. That is a huge market/opportunity...and many wish to meet new riders...like myself. In my area there is a MC club, but it's all fat old custom riders. There in no sportbike club at all. And I have heard many say that they have a hard time finding riding buddies. The closest one I know of is about 2 hours away. TOO FAR!
Soooo.... guess who is trying to start one up. President Mojoe....kinda has a ring to it, no? lol
Anyway, in the last week I met 8 new riders on this site. I mean real meets...not just chatting about it. And I am meeting more on Friday.
So I want to try to get these kind of meets a bit better organized into a bonafied MC club. I already have the name picked out....MotoSport Estrie. It is totally bilingual so the french won't bitch. Gotta remember....I am living smack in the middle of frog central. (sorry Sky...no offense...it is a a joke
)
So why does this topic have a title like "Need Help"? Cuz I need to set up a website. I know squat about doing this. A forum like this would be cool, with slight differences. Less sections will be needed, and an addition of a page or two to post meets and events. Now I have no intention of dumping big money into something that I am not even sure will work (but fairly confident it will), so it has to be cheap to start off. So this is where I am hoping to maybe find someone on here who knows this stuff and willing to "help out" a fellow member. I am not looking for a freebie or a handout. After all, I realize it involves work. What I need is someone who might be willing to help me out as cheaply as possible until it takes off....if it takes off. I am confident I already have 15-20 people willing to join, and I haven't even began to spread the news.
So once I have a website up, I can approach my local dealer who I am sure will sponsor the site if I choose him exclusively. I will also approach the ONE of the local MSF riding schools. Those 2 alone should cover website expenses....plus maybe more such as donations for raffles and stuff. In addition, they can distibute business card of the club, and allow me to put up a poster in the business. After all, they will be sponsoring it, so it is good business for them.
This idea has been in my head for a few years now....and this is the year I want to give it a shot. I should have started it this winter, but 3ft of snow has a way of sucking the motivation out of me. Damn winter!
anyway....that's the scoop. I need a webmaster. If he/she can give me a hand on this, and it works, he/she will be adequately compensated once it takes off. Kinda of a gamble really. Work cheap to start (free would be great, but I don't expect it)...then on a salary if it works.
The bottom line is that I need a website. It is ESSENTIAL for it's success. It is the base of the whole idea, and without it, I can't do a damn thing.
that's it......thanks for looking.
Oh yea....katman05, sky, fatblue, Aramis....and any other quebec I might have forgot....I might be approaching you guys on this. You input and idea will be appreciated. If it does take of, it just might be too much for me. I would be needing a "staff".
When I dream, I dream big. With a few associates like you guys...expansion is feasable. maybe the "premier" sportbike MC club of Quebec? Who knows? All I know is that if I don't try, I will never know.
