I know this might be a bit morbid to some people but why don't you really start up a crash club, in other word all those members that have come off their bikes include it in the main page and call it crash club, you can put there names or log ons if you like and the date of the incident and perhaps a pic of there baby, i know to some people this might seem weird but for us true riders it will immortalize our bikes and be a reminder to other how easy it can happen, and award a trophy avatar to the most recent incident, i was reading about the flipper and it sounded like a good way for all those to pay their respects to their fellow riders and if god forbid they don't walk away put a cross next to their name and they will be forever immortalized in the oz firestorm forum, as i said it is just an idea, but i would like to remember my bike as it was and when i get a another one it will replace the members ride picture in the perfect storm section
regards trev

Awhile back this was suggested but not in exactly the same way...We have a board here is the link ozfirestorm.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=crash. It just didn't catch on as well as Saz and Nudenut hoped it would...no not lots of crashes!!!! The trophy and pic's we thought a great idea........what are your thoughts Trev? We have had only two members pass away that I am aware of. Their user names are kept hidden and cannot be taken by anyone else also they are still active accounts...........can't bring my self to remove them from the site. Andy

I'm not suggesting anything morbid, but i think those two guys were on the right track with their idea, the only hard part is passing around from rider to rider around this country a physical trophy, i noticed on the bottom off my posts now i have OZFSCC member so you sorta recognize it, i would just like to see the crash club be under riding the storm category, i know everyone is busy but when a rider goes down this will be a place where their baby will live forever, even if we move on to a new one, think of it similar the perfect storm section where everyone puts a picture off their bike because they are proud of them but when i get another one my pic will change to my other storm, and unfortunately it would be very hard for people like Slicer07 and myself to get a picture of us with the trophy as we do not have access to our bikes once it is written off or we are physically unable to do so due to our injuries, not that slicer07 or i want to be a member of this particular club but we are.

The board is in the same category as "rising the storm" but as a sub board. This was done so we don't end up with a front page that goes on forever,there are a few "sub boards' on OZFS. I understand what you are looking for so I would suggest you PM Saz and Nudenut and ask what they think.....the board was their idea to begin with. Andy

Trev's Pm'ed me and I think it's a far more user friendly idea and am happy to hand over the reigns to Trev for Version 2 ;D
