This weekend I will be at the Leather & Steel Booth helping out, talking to builders about the Canadian Championships etc...
Next weekend is Red Deer but I have meetings in Red Deer and Calgary, so I will only be home for one day, the weekend after is Vancouver and I will finally be home for a bit again.
These shows tire a person out! But I love them....any way first round of new cards went out and yup - I have some mistakes to fix.
Suzie is a bit behind on some of the installs because of the wild and wooly weather we've been getting right across the west. She lives on the Island and they have been pretty hard hit with power outages and the like. Never fear, it will get done!
Have a great weekend.....

The Calgary Bike Show
Well gang, made it back from the Calgary bike show - just in time for a blizzard!
I'm booked to be in Edmonton on Friday....
The Calgary show was great, record crowds helped along by nice weather.
I was a tad jealous of those who were riding away at the Calgary show - don't think that'll happen in Edmonton.
I hope you like the changes Suzie has made to the site/s. This is just the tip of the iceberg as she has tons of tools she is installing.
Check back often cause this site is about to heat up with goodies.
H folks....ave a great day

Lots of news
I hope everyone had a wonderfuld holiday!
I'm off to the Calgary Bike show - I'll be in the Leather & Steel booth with Randy Sherri, drop by if you get a chance.
The first round of our new rider subscription cards went in the mail today. There was an issue with the old/new GST because of the memorized transactions, so anyone who is renewing and figures the GST is out of whack - you're right - just send the proper amount and ignore the total - the difference is only 35 cents but none the less ....you know what I mean.
When I get back from Calgary I'll get the next series of cards out...
In the mean time - have a great week and I'll be back with all kinds of info for you next week.

The Phone Book Survey
Wow!
I can't believe the response to the idea of having a phone book for bikers!
We only put up the survey two days ago, but the response has been amazing!
100% have responded that they want a phone book that includes riding club information and ride nights.
70% want a Bikers at Work section - for sales people and small businesses owners who ride.
80% have said they want a book that is 5 1/4" x 8 1/4"
100% have responded that they want their phone book mailed to them.
A phone book, just dedicated to Canadian Motorcycle, Motorcycle Related and Motorcycle Friendly Businesses seems to be something you, the readers want so....
Wanted - 3 or 4 people who don't mind doing sales calls.
Tools required:
Computer
Phone - with a good phone plan
Fax machine
Time Commitment Required:
3 to 4 hours a week for 3 months
We pay 11% commission for all finished ad copy
I you are looking for a great way to add a few bucks to the bike fund this might be it.
Drop me a line at bdbetty@gmail.com or phone me at 877-402-8892
Our goal is to print the first phone book for October 2007 - with the help of three or four people, we can meet that goal!
