Back home at last!

I have had the most wonderful of times!

5 years without a vacation made me appreciate every second. No phones, no computers, no work...mmmmm. I think I will have to make this a yearly ritual - it was awesome being just a rider again.

Watch the Knuckle for pictures and the low down - Next Thursday the 31st....
Talk to you soon.

Ride safe out there....

Campbell River

Well gang the vacation has been wonderful and strange....a friend who was riding with my hubby got sunburned so bad his eyes swelled shut so we were down for 2 days, then we headed for the coast. Got to spend a day with friends in Cloverdale then over to the island and a night with Ali and Gator. We went to Tofino and now we are in Campbell River with friends. Thursday we will be taking the inside passage ferry from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert....I'll drop in again after we hit Smithers - I'm enjoying the crap out of having a real vacation - I'll tell yah!

No matter where you are riding to - I hope the weather gods smile on you and that you stay safe out there....

Lumby BC

Well after riding through the winds from hell (55 to 75 kms per hour)
I finally made it to Lumby. Having a great visit with Drac and HH.

I stopped at some great businesses on the way down and will be bringing you up to speed in next week's paper.

Gonna take advantage of some computer time and plan on leaving for Toad Rock around noon today.

Hope to see some of you there.
No matter where you ride to this weekend or what event you attend - stay safe out there...

Belt Drive Betty

Myrtle Beach SC to cancel Bike Weeks....

How many of you have been following the controversy in Myrtle Beach?
http://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/news/local/story/494946.html

I'd like to know if anyone here attends the large American Rallies and what your thoughts are on the subject.....

Why do you go to rallies?
Do you go to get naked, drunk and do damage?
Do you go to attend the various venues and hear great bands?
Do you go to seek attention?
Do you go to have a good time with your Friends and how do you define a good time?

I'd like to know your thoughts - if you are a member at www.beltdrivebetty.com drop in to our forums and let us know what you think.

If you aren't but still want to wade in on the discussion drop me a line....

Great Day

I had a great birthday yesterday. It was filled with phone calls, cards and presents.

It was also a highly productive day - the book keeping is getting caught up and we have a ton of new advertisers coming on board and we are cleaning up some typing mistakes in the calendars.

We have almost 1100 members on the site now and the forums are even starting to get used!

I can't wait for Wednesday - just me and my machine for a 9 day adventure then 2 weeks with my hubby....

I hope to see some of you out for the Grande Prairie Poker Run tomorrow - Toys for Tots is hosting it and we are combining it with a silent auction and BBQ for Ride for Dad.

Stay safe out there.....
