Stop spamming!... you could have put some more bloody info on there too!

Thanks for the sponsorship Drewpy Thundercat i'm sure it will be the hardest thing i have ever done. It is supposed to be the easiest mountain to climb up, but from speaking to people who have done it before the real killer is the altitude. As of course you cant train for altitude sickness, and obviously i dont have any big mountains near me i can use to acclimatise I'm hoping that my D80 will continue to work at -20C so i can get some photos at the summit, i will post it up once im back and recovered... Cheers guys

Hi fellow Yamaha riders. Thank you for reading this post as i know it has nothing to do with motorbikes. I am raising money for the Amani Children's Home in Tanzania by battling altitude sickness climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro (the Worlds 4th Highest mountain) on the 1st of September. The Amani Children's Home rescues children from the perils of life on the streets in Tanzania, who face a high risk of HIV transmission and malnutrition. Whilst in Tanzania I will also be visiting the children's home and meeting the children and careers there. Amani really is a fantastic charity. Unlike a large, international charity that has fundraisers sitting in offices writing adverts back in London, Amani is a small, grass-roots charity that is making a huge difference. Amani adheres to strict accounting standards which are overseen by the international trustees of the charity. At Amani a little really does go a long way. Here are just some of the figures: * $20 (£12) - Feeds one child for one month * $50 (£28) - Provides medical care for one child for one year * $150 (£83) - Pays complete primary school fees (tuition, fees, uniform, school lunch, etc.) for one child * $348 (£178) - Provides full care for one child for a year (school, clothing, food, medical care, and counseling) Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the largest freestanding mountain in the world (world’s fourth highest peak). It's as cold as -20°C and 19,340 Feet. I'm covering all of the costs of the trip from my own money so 100% of your donation will go to the Amani Children’s Home. So please feel free to sponsor me for each toe that drops off, or how high I make it until I'm bending over with altitude sickness the choice is yours ;-) Wish me luck, and I do hope you can sponsor me. No matter how small the amount, every penny helps. My online sponsorship page is here: http://www.justgiving.com/alexasigno2 Donating through the JustGiving site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Amani Childrens Home will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So if you would like to support the cause please sponsor me http://www.justgiving.com/alexasigno2 Thanks guys Alex

Congratulations Kev! 2 minors done bloody well... i got 4 :-( Now the important question what bike are you going to get?

Hi Everyone I'm sorry to spam the forums but it is for a genuine cause. I am climbing Mount Kilimanjaro on the 1st September 2007 to raise money and awareness for the Amani Children's Home. I will also be visiting the Amani home in Moshi, Tazania, which sits at the bottom of Mount Kilimanjaro. Where I will spend time with the children who will benefit from the money donated. The Amani Children's Home rescues children from the perils of life on the streets in Tanzania, who face a high risk of HIV transmission and malnutrition. Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the largest freestanding mountain in the world (world’s fourth highest peak). It's as cold as -20°C and 19,340 Feet. I'm covering all of the costs of the trip from my own money so 100% of your donation will go to the Amani Children’s Home. So please feel free to sponsor me for each toe that drops off, or how high I make it until I'm bending over with altitude sickness the choice is yours ;-) Wish me luck, and I do hope you can sponsor me. No matter how small the amount, every penny helps. You can sponsor me online now, my online sponsorship page is here: http://www.justgiving.com/alexasigno2 All my best, Alex

Hi Robbo welcome! There is quite a few of you XT riders on here now... tempted myself for commuting.

Hi guys, Im sorry for no explanation being given. Unfortunatly we are only able to send emails to users who granted us permission to do so on signing up. (There is a tick box you must have unchecked) All users should have recived an email explaining the situation. Im sorry that you were missed out, and its good advice given, we will put a post up explaining the situation. Thanks for your understanding Alex

Welcome back Mervin, that sure was a flying visit

Keep us updated mate... looks like your going to be busy!

Mozzy gots a 50 and hes 16 stone!

Only two things guaranteed in life "Death and taxes"

You traitor!!!!

Come on tom scan it and upload it if its that good

Know how you feel mate, thats why i bought my bike

Hi Adam, welcome mate. Get some photos of your bike up in the garage.

Come on thats no excuse if no one posted there would be nothing to read

Sounds like you had a good ride, just a shame about our shitty weather!

To be honest would rather not accept donations as think you should get something back in return, there has been a Garage implemented where you can upload images etc of your bikes/modifications etc if you would like to help out you could always upgrage your membership to pro so that you can use it http://www.yamahaclub.com/forums/index.php...utocom=registry The club has been around for around 5 years now always completely free! But would love to be able to create more exposure of it, but of course the more users there are, the more images are hosted and downloaded the more it costs to run. But the more users who use this site the better it will be for all of us so have implemented a subscription system for new users. I don't belive any existing user should have to pay as you guys have all helped create this community. Also the payment scheme in theory will completly stop any spam and all the junk we have often had. So thanks to everyone for helping us get this far and get using the garage ;-)

Ooh you traitor

Chc have you got any photos of your MT-03?

Hi Phil get some photos up of your bike

Get some photos up guys

Someone on here has one i remember them posting a photos, they do look like a beast
