If you have ever attended D2D you know that Hacky (Chad Yoshitomi) is a remarkable rider. When you watch him you will find yourself thinking, "Oh no!!! There is no hope, he's going down." Then there is a roar of an engine a cloud of dirt and out emerges Hacky with a shit-eating grin on his face. He is Mr. Excitement on a motorcycle. Chad is one of six finalists to be selected as a representative on the US team that goes to the BMW GS Trophy Challenge in South America. For some inexplicable reason, BMW wants to select riders based on how many Facebook votes they get. If riding skill were the deciding factor then Chad would be an obvious choice, but he needs your vote. If you are not on Facebook now, then join. Cast your vote and then ignore the account for a month, then cancel it. Sign-up your spouse, kids and pets and let them vote. If it is beyond your ability to sign-up, then find a teenager to help you. If you don't vote for Chad, then you will not be permitted to attend D2D, ever.

I also voted for HackyMoto. I guess I should have my son and granddaughter vote too, so maybe some year they can attend D2D. Next summer looks iffy for me again, due to other fun trips I'm contemplating.
Thanks KHuddy for starting this thread There's a glitch. If you click on anyone's pic.(profile) YOU HAVE JUST VOTED I'm towards the bottom so be careful how you scroll. ON the road in Yerrington,NV
darn it wouldn't let me vote twice... maybe my other self will. The vote button is at the BOTTOM of each person's description. <><>
Legion started a thread in Jo Momma too: http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=829680 Be careful in voting tho. Click on a pic or profile and you've cast your vote w/o being able to go back and change anything. Good luck, Mark H.
Hmm... That wasnt a hot link until I quoted it. This should be a hot link. https://www.facebook.com/BMWMotorradUSA?v=app_264801563554262 I went there, group of pix showed up & I clicked on Chads pic. Got a message that said Thanks for voting I also got a log in/ sign up prompt somewhere along the way. I aint on FB but I aparently just voted. Could not get back in to the original page or refresh it. When I try I just keep getting the Thanks for voting message. Cool!
So, fellow alaskan adver's, send the link to your family/friends (the ones that like you) I sent the link to 25 friends that will vote. Maybe some of them will forward it to others. And has been noted by Tom S, it appears you may not have a have FB login to vote. Was able to replicate what Tom did and I assume it worked. https://www.facebook.com/BMWMotorradUSA?v=app_264801563554262 !!!
I don't have a Face Book page, but my wife does. She voted for you. Seems like a bunch a BS on this popularity contest deal....you did good!! I put a plea for help on the MTF forum. Hopefully, they will help you out too.
