    On that basis, I am starting a nudist xrv group. You all ride in buff but I reserve my right to keep my clothes on as I have always done.

    At least that way nothing will get caught in the stamp as I authorize your XRV Nudist certificates.[/quote]

    Absolutely. Nothing of the status quo changes.

    It is simply an add-on, a bit of value -added, people can chose to opt into, for a fee that will be paid to our nominated charity, for which they will get a personalised certificate of their ride, a membership number, a highly sought after pin, and a decal for their bike.

    What criteria are you going to set for qualification .

    Who will check the ride is kosher ( Oy Vey ! ).

    are you having set routes i.e Le JoG.

    There will be more questions later but for the life of me, I cant think of them now.!!. .

    In fact the Title of this thread is a pretty good....

    Is thelongestday.org owned by anybody? If it is you will need to get their permission to use the title.

    I think based on previous posts Robster owns the Longest Day brand so this all needs to be discussed with him.

    I think the idea of a UK "Iron Butt" association could be a winner, not difficult to improve the customer service it seems.
    Forum help and advice needed?

    Exactly - and we would have the moral high ground for all eternity as the proceeds less costs go to charideeee
    We could also guarantee a much faster turn around, a higher level of scruitney, much more interesting and challenging rides, and top draw quality certificates, pins and decals.
