Post up your suggestions and ideas for our next giveaway!

So, what do you want to see? What do you want? Post it up! We want to take a close looks at what our members are demanding.

Some ideas..

Safety Gear:

• Helmets (can find some nice ones on clearance)
• Leather jacket, or maybe some all-season gear?
• Leather riding pants
• Leather full-gauntlet gloves
• Boots
• Accessories (knee sliders, back protector, coolmax liner, etc)

Bike Parts:

• Exhaust kit (like the GYTR giveaway)
• Tires
• Fender Eliminator kit
• Bike Decals (*cough* Alicia *cough*)
• Integrated signals
• Tinted windscreens

Moto-related swag:

• T-shirts from sponsors or manufacturers
• Hats
• Gear bags/backpacks
• Posters
• Books
• DVDs

Gift Certificates:

• For gear
• For track days
• For riding schools

*Pair of tickets to the USGP at Laguna or Indy (my favorite idea )

Seeing as how quite a few members no longer ride an R6 (or at all), a few non-moto prizes would be of interest.

what kind of non-moto prizes do you think would work?

Three chances at dunking Pepe in a dunking booth. Hell, I'd BUY tickets for that.


Kidding aside, I suppose the imagination is the limit. I think the hats were a smash hit with the last giveaway. Maybe some autographed posters/photos? I'd rock an autographed poster in my office cubicle. Maybe some of that infamous and elusive R6Live gear? Some shirts or a hoodie would be awesome. Something every R6Live fan (or hater ) could wear.

Maybe some decal work from Alicia and Dave? I hate putting them on the spot for free goodies, but speaking for myself, I'd love to have some of those epic wall decals.

Like I mentioned, the sky is the limit...

*edit: pair of tix to Laguna or Indy is brilliant

^good point, but would that mean you're opposed to gp tickets? or giveaways that have the option of installing on other bikes?

maybe we can set up some sort of live cam for pepe booth

ticket idea seems neat, but lack the 'instant gratification' factor as the races are going to be fore next year, we'll keep that in mind for next year's giveaway. As for this giveaway, I was thinking more along the lines of.... if you had to get one more thing for your bike, what would you like it to be? ... naming some specific brand/model. We hope to put something together before the year ends.

I don't have an issue with keeping the giveaway/raffle prizes Yamaha or R6 oriented (this is R6Live, after all), but I'd like to see other options on the table for those of us who don't ride an R6 or ride at all.

While keeping it Yamaha/R6/R6Live focused, I believe we can offer alternatives. Hence the gear (doesn't matter what bike you ride), USGP tickets, and wall decal ideas.

Hmm, good point on the "instant gratification". Not to mention, the actual tickets are not available yet - and aren't usually mailed out until a month before the race.

How about a winter storage kit? Maybe a bike cover, some oil/lube/fuel stabilizer supplies, battery tender, etc. Maybe even a set of stands?
