    Growing the forums..

    Anyone got any bright ideas for getting more people here?

    There is 1, possibly 2 @'s in my town. I was thiking about tucking a flyer on them, next time I see them parked up, Telling them about the site.

    I have done a sheet of flyers, and send them to Dave.

    Anyone got any other bright ideas? Perhaps some stickers to stick on the bikes, underneath the numberplate or something...

    How about some of those yellow kiddies that dealers stick to number plates when they sell on a used car?

    The ADV stickers over on AdventureRider are incredibly popular, they are a small version of the oval GB sticker that you use when abroad, reflective, and can be seen on the screen of my bike!! Perhaps it could read:

    www.
    XRV
    .org.uk

    Just a thought!

    the addition of number plate stickers i think is now against the law, as you have to have the information of who made the plate.... think its checked as per MOT?

    We have at Raidxtreme been looking into having a load of stickers made up but its not cheap as most places want a massive print run and any sticker thats not a square or rectangle costs more again!

    Received Mark. Thanks for doing this.
    I also carry around some xrv business cards that when I see an AT, TA, Dom or Varadero I can put on the bike.
    I'll upload all of these and make them available to all so that you can spread the word.
    Stickers should be here shortly. Fewtrees is sorting them out as I got side tracked sorting some family problems out and delayed things a little.
    Forum help and advice needed?
