IMPORTANT SMOG ANNOUNCEMENTS
First, SMOG will be getting its own Forum presence on the Selene Owners’ Association Website. Details to follow.
Second, it is time to identify the Founding Fathers (FF) of SMOG. The FF will be designated when the Gang officially announces its formation, a date expected within the next several days. Thereafter, future prospects will be accepted into the Gang if they meet the necessary requirements. To qualify for membership in SMOG, and to distinguish its members from pushers, peddlers, paddlers, coasters and such, the following requirements must be met:
1. The prospect must be a present or future (planned acquisition required) owner (or renter or leaser) of a MOTORCYCLE (defined below) to be carried on board a Selene yacht;
2. The prospect must be the present or future (in build) owner of a Selene yacht; and
3. The prospect must have the necessary “ATTITUDE” (defined below).
MOTORCYCLE - Generally, a two-wheeled vehicle that is powered by a motor (usually ICE) and has no pedals.*
* There are electric motorcycles worth throwing a leg over, some with amazing performance (0 to 60 mph in two seconds). These E-motorcycles include BMW CE 02, Can-Am Origin, Stark EX Enduro, Harley Davidson LiveWire One, Zero S, Lightning LS-218 and many others. The typical E-bike with pedals is not a motorcycle; However, prospects may seek a ruling as to whether a particular E-bike makes the cut or not.
ATTITUDE - Sort of happy and loves life, water, roads, boats and motorcycles. You know it if you have it.
The following persons, listed alphabetically, are recognized as FF of SMOG: Jack Burgess, Brian Calvert, John Midlige, Roger Nowakowski, Brian Richards. There is one high profile person, whose identity will remain confidential at this time, who has acquired FF status and will be so included. Others have indicated interest in SMOG and have participated in discussion, but their intentions are unclear. I don’t want to include anyone who is not desirous of inclusion. I also don’t want to leave anyone out. Anyone may request, confirm or reject membership as a FF if they qualify, whether they participated in discussion before or not. Please reply and let me know ASAP.
Thank you - Easy Ridin’ Jack
