So...
We drive and drive and drive...sometimes 20-36 hours
straight to get to your event. Ok... just being in
the truck that long makes you crazy..sore, stiff and
grumpy...you agree? How do you feel driving all night
and only sleeping a max of 4 hours at a time? Us too!
We have a couple of Respectable Requirement:
1.A Hotel with Internet!
2. Minimum MOTEL 6 (you know..We
will Leave the Light On)
3. We will Put our
own Credit Card up for Incidentals. We are not Rock
Stars... so if something happens at the Hotel... it
is our Credit Card ..Not Yours!
4.(x2) Bikes = 1 Room
Double or Triple Occupancy with at least 2 Queen size
beds! NO SMOKING ROOMS. We will have 2 riders and
a door guy.
5.( x3) Bikes = 2 Rooms Double Occupancy with 2 Queen
Beds.
NO SMOKING ROOMS. We will have 3 riders and a door
guy.
6. Stunt Girl: If the
optional Stunt Girl is hired. She will need her own
room. She has a Moral clause in the Globe Rider talent
contract.
7. The Event Promoter
Needs to Pay for PARKING if there are Local Parking
Fees (like NYC, Chicago, Philly, Los Angeles, or at
the Event Center like Anehiem Convention Center)
8. How Many Days do
you need to get us a room? (Say
your event is Friday, Saturday and Sunday)
Our Set Up Day is Thursday... We Need a room/s
Thursday Night, Friday Night, Saturday Night and Sunday
Night! Checking out on Monday morning!
9. If for some reason
a client forgets/overlooks (corporate) to pay for
our Hotel and I have to pay for it. (Assuming they
are going to re-imburse me) I will not fill out a
1099 Misc for the re-imbursement! Your company shall
keep the reciept and use that as the reciept. No Exceptions.
10. In Some cases we
are willing to pay the additional upgrade to be in
a Nicer place! We are Not picky...
just tired of Cheap Promoters who want to save a Penny
at our expense. We are willing to work with you...
it is just too dangerous to be exhausted and perform
a deadly stunt act...and have to worry about safety
and security. please understand.
NOTE: but if you Put us in a crappy place... because
it was $35.00 a night and Our Bikes, truck or equipment
gets stolen or damaged or TOWED (No Over sized Parking)
and there was a Marriott or Holiday Inn or something
a little better in a better area... then...you take
that chance! It is your event and we are your Attraction.
Also: Don't put us 40 miles away from the event!
because we will charge you $1.00 a mile for every
mile over 25 Miles from the event...Thank Mr. BUSH
for the Diesel Price increase.
Has it happened? YUP! Once we were put in a Hotel
40 miles away, did we charge them for the fuel increase...YUP!
He was getting that Hotel for $29.00 and it was only
$46.00 for the one 2 miles away!
And Once we Had a Motel near the event... but had
no Telephone... no Air condition (Swamp Cooler) and
it had ARMY sheets. We didnt sleep, we got eaten by
Bed Bugs (yeah no kidding) and he was getting it free...
so we went and got our own hotel and gave him the
bill!... you know what he said? "I gave you
a hotel room and it didn't cost you nothin'...
just be happy you got anything!" He ended stiffing
us anyway... his event got rained out and no one showed
up! He couldn't afford to pay us anyway...thats when
we started to post our experience online...so it never
happens again.
So please understand why we have policies...
thank you,
John Stotts
