(And I don't mean to be insulting, I'm sure you've probably thought of at least some of these, but....) Motorcycle Dealerships: Two I'm very familiar with, and known at: Team Powersports, Garner, NC (the top Honda dealership in the area); Boone Action Cycle, Villas, NC. In both these places I know specific people if for some reason your initial contacts are not promising. (Though I can't imagine why they would not be.) Ray Price is the major Harley dealer in the area. Also, there are a number of motorcycle campgrounds I'm aware of, as well as Station's Inn, a motel on the Parkway catering to motorcyclists. Finally, of course, get them to Deals Gap ASAP. You have my email address so feel free to get back to me for any additional info on, or help with any of the above.

I got a stack of forms and took half to the Charlotte BMW/Duc/Triumph shop and the other half to my Gastonia Suz/Kaw shop. The word is getting out slowly. Oh, yeah, the link in the letter didn't work but I found you anyway! See you at the (bicycle) races! Don Houck,

I notified the District (which means State) Director of GWRRA, Dennis Hull, and he sent a notice out to all Chapters. I also saw another notice go out to NC - GWRRA members last week. I would suggest you contact Sharon Stanley [ 623-581-2500 editor@gwrra.org ] the editor of Wing World. This is the monthly magazine of GWRRA. Ask about perhaps a feature article, some sort of notification, or (at worst) what an ad would cost. Good luck. I sure want this to succeed. I’ve tried everything I know of.

By the way, your mailing web log address does not work. I had to do a google search to find you. Contact the GWRRA to reach Gold Wing riders who will surely be excited about the special tags.

I believe you should be targeting riding organizations such as: GWRRA, COG, MotorMaids, HSTA, Harley Owners Groups for example. Also, you should contact Road Runner magazine, an excellent motorcycle touring magazine, whose headquarters are in Clemmons, North Carolina. Another good magazine to contact would be Rider magazine. There are motorcycle only campgrounds in North Carolina that would also be a good place to advertise these tags. I am hopeful these tags will soon be available.

If they could include that option in the tag renewal process, it would surely increase the number of tags applied for.
