Motorcycling

Everyone has been absolutely terrific with their suggestions.  Here is where we are and where we are headed.  Our moto friends protesting encroaching development in the Roanoke Valley.

1. Senator Joe Sam Queen who introduced this legislation will be having conversations with NCDMV soon about finalizing the design to include 4 number / letter options.  This will allow us to produce a promotional counter card similar to the one for the automobile.
2. Grandfather Mountain will put this in the hands of every motorcycle that comes through its gates (warmer weather coming!)
3. GWRRA - this opportunity is being worked on a number of levels with straegically placed notices from the NC district representative.
4. Concourse Owners Group (COG) - we have looked at their website and will look for a point of entry and opportunity.
5. Motor Maids - same as COG
6. Honda Sport Touring Association (HSTA) - same as COG
7. Road Runner Magazine - eventhough this is published in our community, it is a national magazine.  Jim Parks, their director of public relations has offered to place their eNEWS.  Most all of these groups have discussion forums which have varying degrees of particpation.  It will take a little time to figure all of that out.
8. Rider Magazine - again, a national publication but we will look for an "in"
9. Wing World - the monthly magazine of GWRRA, we just found out about that one to day.
10. Roy's Folks - travel show of WGHP in High Point, one of the editors is a rider and has done stories for us before.
11. Raleigh News and Observer - we learned today that one of their editors is a rider and would be in a position to do a story
12. Ralph Knox, director of photography, for Main Street Teleproductions has offered to produce a 30 second PSA for us that can be used in numerous application.

Thank you!  We will be giving updating comments on our pursuits.  If any of you have already existing relationships with these opportunities, please let us know.  We could use some help without having to start cold.
