2015 MSTA Raffle Bike Announcement!

<< < (2/14) > >>

Brick:
Whoa... After "understanding" all the changes this year on a last year bike AND the increased price AND no tickets mailed... while I will buy some ticket... I wish you lots of luck on breaking even on this bike. Did you look at the numbers on the 2008 FJR raffle bike?

Michael Snyder:
While I wholeheartedly support the EC in making difficult decisions as I have been there, I must agree with with Jon and Brick.  I believe it is going to be a huge uphill battle to meet the goals of the raffle bike.  You are forcing members to be proactive and use electronic means which is not a strong suit of this organization or fill out the forms and send them in plus double the price.  Wish you lots of luck.

I have always bought raffle tickets but have never used the ones mailed to me. I just use the STAR registration form. I end up pitching the mailed tickets in the trash which is a shame as I know there is a lot of effort that goes into doing the mail out not to mention the expense of printing and postage. As to the price increase, seems to me if sales drop by half we come out the same dollars in hand.
Yes this is change and I know this is upsetting to some but personally I think it's worth a try over doing the old way because that's how we've always done it. Either way somebody will get to say I told you so. My 2-cents.-JEP-

I believe that the 2015 model differs from the 2014 only in color.  Just my opinion, but the 2014 red is cooler than the black or metallic gray offered in 2015.

DirtFlier:
Manufacturers have to change colors to keep sales stimulated.  Staying with the same colors usually results in fewer people coming to look at the new model.  It's just a way of life.
