I am a new member and enjoy the forums though haven't posted much as yet. I feel I shouldn't post until I've "Paid my Dues" :? I wish to make a contribution but do not subscribe to PayPal. Are there other ways to subscribe ?

How long after we donate our hundred bucks before we get our "lifetime member" tagline on our posts?

Not complaining, just curious.

Usually it's not long, but depending on Greengooses' work schedule it may take longer. If you don't see it in a couple of days then PM him. Hopefully you included your desires and the BUSA account name for him to credit the right account?

This Long. :D

I took 3 days off from the forums for Easter/ B-day for my 2 Yr old.

Normally I take care of memberships during the day while at work or just after I get home from work.

With a full time 55 hr per week job and 4 little boys, I usually get to the memberships within 3 days.

Hey admin folks

I got my membership but used the wrong email. I know my paypal/CC stuff went thru, but want to make sure that it fully made the gamet to BUSA. I used an old email address, and updated right after I "subscribed"/

the site rocks, I just want to make sure of 2 things.

1) the money got to the right people
2) the Burgy symbol gets in my title.

Please let me know...will upgrade to the highest level of membership soon

Thanks again for all your helo and this site...PM may be the best way for us to communicate,,,

thanks

Rich and KJ,

There's going to be a delay in processing your membership since Bryan is not available and he handles all the membership stuff. Please see this announcement:

viewtopic.php?f=21&t=28951

I'll go ahead and PM Bryan a link to this thread for him to follow up on when possible,

Thanks,

Any new news on what features are offered with which levels? The free three month trial period to test those as yet undefined features is up next week, so I thought I'd ask. ;)

Meanwhile, I'm still doing my monthly donations, letting them build up so I can make the final donation to the next level before the August 1st deadline.

Thanks,

Just wondering if Bryan is back on board. I hope the kids are OK! Just how long should I expect to wait for my membership icon to be added. With only 4% of the thousands of users bellying up, I am hoping the peer pressure will encourage more to join at some level.

Thanks.

I was just going to mention to Bill that I am going to delay the May 1st date for a number of reasons.

Family issues are better now. I also received a few PMs / Emails from a few members asking if I could give them time for their "Rebate" checks that are coming in May.

To make it easier on everyone, I am going to delay the "tiers" until the end of May.

I will update the membership page later to reflect the changes.

If its been more than 72 hrs and you havent received your wings yet. Send me an email with your paypal receipt. admin@burgmanusa.com

I reply to each paypal receipt and ask for your forum user name. I still have a few donations that havent matched up yet with names.

Check your email that was attached to your paypal account. Thats where I send the request to.

If you purchased one in the past 72 hrs, you can expect an email today asking for your forum user name.

Hey Bryan,
Hope this note finds you in good health if not good cheer. I'm sure Wes passing away was a bummer for you. He will be missed. I wrote to you some time ago (just prior to your being posted in the "sand pit" You said you couldn't make the change then, but possibly later. I have been listed under Starrr........my wifes name. Actually, it's Starr, but what's an extra r or two. At any rate, I would really appreciate it if I could be listed under my name...Scott (but still keep my old registration date. Thank you for considering this matter, and for serving your country (been there, done that) Scott

Fellow Burgman Riders
I donate d $25 today to help support this great site

I just bought my first burgman (2003 650).
I have ridden suzuki's in the in the past but after a 20 year break
I am excited to be riding again.
I am looking forward to some nice long weekend rides in the Wisconsin, Illinois and Mid-west.

I hope I can pick your brains about Burgmans and maintenance and other accesories to one must have for Burgmans..

Happy trails

lrmiller01: Welcome to BUSA.

As for brain picking, there's a lot of knowledge here in the various posts about maintenance and quirks of the AN650 and other scoots. If you plan on doing your own maintenance, I'd advise to get yourself the shop manual, it will prove invaluable. The "How To" forum has excellent info on various maintenance that is easily done. Don't skimp on tool quality and get yourself a decent 3/8" drive torque wrench that has a lower setting of 10 ft-lbs. Don't go for the "needle" type as it is not accurate enough.

Have fun and be safe

You paid by e-check on the 12th. It didnt clear until the 18th. I sent an email to you on 19 June asking you for your forum user name. I was able to match you up by the information you provided in your recent PM to me. (However I never received a reply to my email.)

*** If anyone has recently paid and has NOT received their membership wings. Please check for an email from me. It will be sent to the paypal email address that you used to make payment.***

What does it cost to join BUSA at all different levels ? I haven't seen any rates for membership anywhere, however I was without a computer for several months there, & missed many posts.
