Holy Cow!

I knew that there were a whack of motorcycle events happening every year but even my eyes are popping. Right now I am adding as many as 30 events a day.

Everything from groups meetings and ride nights to coffee nights & breakfast rides, runs, rallies rodeos, demo's, open houses....man alive we are going to be busy this coming year!

Hope you are all having fun getting ready for Christmas.....
Stay safe out there

I am amazed with my website results

I'ts 15 to 7 on Thursday night and I popped in to set up a new member.
I was working in the administration portion of the site and was amazed to see that we had 22 people on line. Myself and Ali were the only 2 members.

I've asked her to get a show how many visitors on line module.
I remember when I was thrilled to see one other person on line at the same time as me.

I've been working away on the provincial event calendars - as groups and businesses firm up their 2008 events we are pulling them all together. I all we have about 600 events for the 2008 riding season from group ride nights and breakfasts to runs, rallies, demo days, competition events - and not many of them set yet! In all I have added about 60 events in the last 2 days.

Registered members - you can help me here! Submit your clubs stuff right into the calendars and when you have drop me an email so I can go and check on the repeating portion.

Your help would be much appreciated!

Hope you find the information in the calendars useful when planning your holidays and choosing the long weekends you want to book off this riding season.

I also hope it proves useful for those who are moving to a new area - you can find others of like mind at www.beltdrivebetty.com quite easily.

Yah!

Well after all of the destruction and construction I finally get to move into my new office tomorrow. It's amazing what elbow grease, drywall and paint can do for an old attached garage!

It's been really weird an frustrating working between 2 offices but today I will have heat in there and tonight phone lines!

I have for the last 5 years worked in a 9 x 9 bedroom. Now I get 266 sq ft of space!
I am excited to say the least - tired too, it's been a long haul to get here!

Watch the web site for a great contest to win tickets to the Red Deer Motorcycle show for you and 7 friends!

Have a great day and stay safe out there.

A Special Day

Today is our wonderful web mistress's birthday.
I hope you will join me in wishing Ali a wonderful day!

I have been updating the event calendars as more and more groups and businesses are confirming their event dates and meetings.

If you know of an event that we don't have listed you can help us and your riding club or business by sending us the information or adding it directly to the calendars.

We want the information here to be the most accurate and up to date that we can provide.
With over 1.2 to 1.5 million hits and over 55,000 visitors a month this site CAN help your club or business get some added exposure.

Your active involvement on our site will help us to make this site the ultimate motorcycle tourist web site about the Canadian Riding Scene!
Have a great day everyone and stay safe out there.

Busy - stupid busy!

Between IBlogger experiencing some technical difficulties for a few days and the fact that I have been painting the old garage here at home to make a bigger office for myself I have been very busy.

Ali has been coding her fingers to the bone as you can see by the new things that keep popping up on the site. The lady amazes me.

I hope you will check out our Preferred and Referred contest - maybe recommend a shop or a waitress for their great customer service - you could win a killer prize....

We have the New "How well do you know Arlen Ness?" contest for tickets to the Red Deer Motorcycle show and more stuff coming down the pipes all the time.

Have a great day and now that my blog is back up and the painting almost done, I promise to chat here a wee bit more often....

Our newest web site

We acquired a web site called www.canadianriders.ca
"Riders in need have a friend indeed"

It's a web site about riders who are willing to help out when you are broke down on the road.
Ali and I will start revamping that site and trying to get more riders involved with helping each other out. It all started when I asked for a link on that site! Peter asked me and Ali to take it over.

I have emailed all of the members there and invited them over to www.beltdrivebetty.com

It is my hope to add all of those who wish to be part of our riders phone book (Belt Drive Betty's Little Black Book for Canadian Riders).

To that end We are going to offer this:

For $35.00 you get your name and a phone number (email as well if you have one) added to our phone book for the city/town you are from in the phone book.

You also get a copy of the phone book mailed to you.

If you think it's a good idea, let me know at bdbetty@gmail.com

Stay safe out there....

New Forums

Well it looks like a good number of riders are checking out all of the new tools, our forum is only a few weeks old and seems like it's catching on.

If anyone has any comments on the site, new tools you'd like to see or functionality or navigation issues - give us a holler. Ali has been like a mad woman with all of her hard work! Wait till you see what she has it store for all of you tomorrow....

Be good out there....
