BMW riders are fair and honest
If my pages on BMW have been of some value to you, please consider a
donation. Donations will assure that the BMW technical information
will remain free and open to all.
It was never my intention to have a site even 1/4 this large. It
has grown according to the needs of the BMW community related to these old
bikes. I have over one full year in making up the information
that you see. I do not know what direction this site will take, but
I hope to keep adding material as I have time and the inclination.
More than 3000 photos are now on the site and many more ready to add to
additional material.
You decide what value this has been to you. Did it save you
time
and/or money? What is that worth to you? The easy way
to donate is to use the Paypal donation link.
Go to the "Send Money" page, sign up or log in. My email address is
needed and it is
You will have to type it in, as that is a photograph.
This avoids spam.
Please be
sure to include your email address and name. That way I can keep
track of my donors and return the favor from time to time.
Many emails have ask, "What is the usual donation?" The amounts
have been from about $10 to $75, but the majority have been $20.
Often a payment for an eBay sale is "rounded up" to the next $10 increment
as a way of payment.
Your donation could be in the form of supplying photos, tech info or
custom CAD diagrams. I "try" to give credit where it is due, but
sometimes have lost the info.
You may also write a money order, personal or cashiers check and send
it to;
Duane Ausherman
13827 Sargent Ave.
Galt, CA. 95632
USA
A CD of my BMW web pages is available
For $15 I will burn the most up-to-date CD possible. That is
including worldwide postage. It will not be fancy, just a
copy of what you see on the Internet. Send me your request
via email and it will go out as soon as possible on the honor system.
When it arrives, you pay via Paypal or use the SASE to send cash, check or
money order. If I am not home, then you may hear nothing for some
time, but eventually I will return and send it out. You may get a
email from my wife telling you of my expected return time.
Other directions I could take
- Many have suggested that I write a book. First off, the book
would be only about 1/4 the size of my web pages and have only some
black and white photographs. Why would one pay $40 for that?
It would be out of date the day it was published. It could happen,
but at this time is unlikely.
- Single subject books could be written and sold too. This is
more likely, but not in my current plans.
- Single subject DVDs could be made and sold. This is more
likely, but not in my plans now.
- Advertisements on pages to pay for the site. I don't like this
idea at all.
- A subscription site. Not in my plans, but more likely than the
others.
Direct email asking for technical information
Due to the large number (5-15) of emails that come in every day, I shall no longer
try to answer each one. I suggest that you ask on the
appropriate forum. See my links page
for information. For /2 info, go to the Yahoo group slash2. For /5
info go to the Yahoo group 5 United. For general information, go to
Boxerworks.com.
