So much to learn...

Like everyone out there I am learning how to work with in the environment of the internet. Now I have worked here for a while but only in a limited way.

I am learning so much about on line stores and group programs that are supposed to, once you have them set up, make it easier to help people and keep them informed. It's a learning curve to say the least.

I was wondering what other people, both those in business and those who use the internet for research and info find to be the most challenging thing to learn.

In the news today, don't forget the Rally in Surrey for those for you on the wet coast (and no that's not one of my famous type o's - I mean wet coast) who think that a message needs to be sent to the courts.

PEACEFUL Rally organized by a fellow motorcyclist.

Bike Shows this year are having a hard time attracting vendors which means spectators aren't too happy - this appears to be a world wide problem with consumer trade shows period. The NEC show - if you go to the article on it, has a number of reviews that seem indicative of the feelings of many show goers. It appears that our external links aren't working this morning for some reason and this is WAY beyond my scope and ability to fix, so ALi will need to do that later this morning, but in the mean time, here is the direct link to the NEC article not just the internal link to the news feed...http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/News/newsresults/General-news/2009/December/dec0709-nec-show-numbers-down/?&R=EPI-120641

Many, spectators were apparently disappointed or at least noticed that Harley, Honda and Ducati were not present...

Let's hope our upcoming Canadian Shows are better attend by the general public and that all of the manufacturers are at least present. I know there are a ton of small businesses that would normally attend these shows that aren't planning to this year simply due to expense and their lack of confidence that sales will cover the costs.

Unfortunately that is the economic climate we are living in.

I hope you have a fabulous day and if you are lucky/smart enough to live where you can ride, please ride like everyone around you is blind and can not see you.
