Happy Valentine's Day

Belt Drive 2 Canadian Riders, Community 4:04 AM

I hope that you all hug your motorcycle and your better half today. It's up to you which one you choose to hug first! 
 
I have another busy day ahead to get the calendars ready for printing. 
 
There are so many events that have been canceled for this year! 
There are a lot of new events cropping up too and new clubs - holy cow! 
 
It never ceases to amaze me how many web sites there are out there that have been abandoned. 
I can't understand why you would put a site up and then just not do anything with it. I wished there was a cyberspace garbage can that when you come across a dead site you could just throw it out. 
 
It also amazes me how many riding clubs think that every one should know where their favorite coffee shop or pub is located. Or how they are amazed that a person doesn't know their event always happens on the first Saturday of whatever month. 
 
Every day there are more people getting their license who haven't ridden before or haven't ridden in years - how are they supposed to know what's what? The lack of good solid information that is out there and the amount of phone calls and emails it takes to generate good event calendars is mind blowing. 
 
I try very hard to ensure our information is accurate, I hope you will help me by letting me know when you see a wrong date or some other misinformation - your help goes a long way in making the riding season wonderful for everyone! Don't forget I am the Type O Queen - my brain is always way ahead of where my fingers are - LOL 
 
Any how - I am going to go set started on my day - have a great Valentine's day ....talk to you all later. 
 
Stay safe and warm...

Have you noticed?

Not sure how often you visit the site but I hope you have noticed all of the little changes happening. 
 
Our site has been approved by a number of top level advertisers and affiliate programs, which is really good news for us, especially if any of you decide to check out what these people have to offer. We applied to as many quality Canadian programs and advertisers as we could. 
 
We have also signed with Delta Hotels for a year and it is my hopes that we can keep these advertisers happy. Just like the BDB Club program - I hope you will support the people who support us - it is after all advertisers who pay for the tools and information we supply and the free web sites that we host for non profits. 
 
The changes are not just in the advertising we have been approved for. Ali has been working like a fiend to finish all of our travel and tourism pages, our lifestyles and BDB Club pages. 
 
We are planning on running another contest soon, we still need to work out the details but it will involve your knowledge of and participation on this site....And for those of you who have been asking - YES we will be running another show 'n' shine. 
 
There is a new survey for you to take about Hotels and Motels, it's located on the Belt Drive Community pages under Travel & Tourism....please fill it out - our sponsors want your input into their businesses and what they supply in their establishments. 
 
Anyway - if I am going to print the runs, rallies and events in the paper this coming week I had best get cracking with tidying up the events in the calenders....until next time, 
Stay safe and warm...

I have begun chosen the 5 Blogs that I am to pass the Fabulous Blog Award to. 
 
So far I have chosen (in no particular order) the <a href="http://www.sportbikejunkies.net/">Sportbike Junkies</a> - they have a great resource. 
<a href="http://baronsview.blogspot.com/">Baron's Life</a>, <a href="http://www.beginnerbiker.com/">Beginner Biker</a> - <a href="http://thatsfunnyshit.blogspot.com/">That's Funny Shit</a> and <a href="http://jjskewlstuffii.blogspot.com/">North Texas Bikers II</a> 
 
It's tough only choosing 5 - I have at least a dozen I could have chosen. 
 
I just put the finishing touches on my column for the Northern Horizon and Mirror newspapers and am now going to get back to the events calendars. 
 
There are a ton of events to finish updating! 
 
I have been looking at my motorcycle and day dreaming....soon, very soon it will be riding season and my feet are itchy to travel! 
 
Hope you all have a fabulous day! 
 
Stay safe and warm,

Well, I am slowly getting back to normal, not that there is anything remotely normal about me! 
 
I apologize for not having been around the last couple of days, but laying low was well worth it. 
 
I received a wonderful surprise today! I got a Fabulous Blog Award from WyzWmn! 
 
It's always nice to know that people actually read what you have to say. I have some wonderful supporters and am so grateful to them for helping me keep it real! 
 
Have a fabulous evening and I'll chat with you all tomorrow. 
 
Stay safe and warm,
