We are now starting to attract the attention of advertisers. and, in this edition, we have embedded mock-up adverts to give potential advertisers an idea of what's on offer.

We are exploring such possibilities as exist to secure the rights to distribute and sell products and services that bikers may consume. (You will notice various adverts about a bike security product called GRIP LOCK, our first test of this objective.)

You will notice the various links to Dial Direct. w have joined their affiliate programme. Anyone purchasing any of their products through any of the links on the website of The RAG generates revenue for us.

Our drive to secure your voluntary subscription is on-going. THE RAG will always be free to all, but we strive on in the hope that your appreciation of THE RAG will inspire your voluntary financial support. Readers who support us financially deserve to be rewarded, so we are working on a rewards programme for subscribers. Rewards will probably take the form of discounts from businesses supported by bikers. Another objective to to award subscribers with some sort of gift pack; T-shirts and any other goodies we can assemble that bikers will find useful It takes money, though, and we will attend to the gift pack as soon as our revenue base permits.
