Yea, me too. I figure the value I get out of this site demands I contribute.
Latest example. I was at the BMW dealer and bought 4 of those squash nuts that go in the windshield. These nuts stretch and wear out over time. The dealer charges $6.50 a piece for these nuts. The same day, while researching something else on this site, I came across someone's comment that these nuts can be purchased at Home Depot or Lowe's. Over to HD I went, and ended up buying 4 more at $.95 each. The difference, with tax, came pretty close to $25.
To be fair, BMW squash nuts are a little nicer than Home Depot squash nuts, but certainly not $5.50 worth. Needless to say, back to BMW they went.
Thanks to everyone for all the help they and this site have provided me.
Although already a triple lifer, I just sent another $60 contribution. The forum makes an inestimable contribution to the pleasure of owning my R1200R.

There's still time. I will accept new memberships up until tomorrow (July 10th) at 10AM.
I will then be compiling a random list of #'s and sending the range to my moderators. They will pick the lucky two winners - likely by tomorrow evening. I will let people here know who the winners are and also send an email informing them on how to claim the New Enough Leathers credit.
Good luck everyone, and thanks for the new members and renewals.
