Welcome To The Eastern Canada Nomads Board

[cnc]

Welcome to the Eastern Canada Nomads Board. I am sure that most of you who were in a habit of frequenting the Canadian board were surprised to find it now divided into two regions. Our numbers are growing and it is felt that having an Eastern and Western region will better serve KawaNow and it's Canadian members now and in the future.
From where I am located, We usually think of Eastern Canada as the Maritime Provinces, in this case the Eastern Board includes everywhere in Canada east of the Manitoba / Ontario border. If you live in this area, this is your home so to speak on the KawaNow forum. It is what we all make of it, so I invite you to visit and post what ever is on your mind. We also have as a group the ability to help make our numbers grow and decide how, where and when we might organize events in our area.

Congratulations and thank you for being willing to take on the task of looking after eastern Canada. We;ll have to have meetcha halfway or something one day and have a coffee maybe in the Kingston area, thats approx halfway for us and not a bad distance for a decent ride.

Gary-o Well, I think We are off to a good start.
Hey I may be down your way next summer (2011) on the Nomad. Last year was Nova Scotia and Cape Breton. this year coming summer We hope to tour PEI and more of Nova Scotia

[cnc]

Thanks Ring, and congratulations on your promotion. I'm sure both Rick on the Western board and myself here will, have lots of questions for you.
Kingston sounds like a good idea, I'm up there quite often.

And when We get our act together and have a rally up this way I hope all you Northeast folks will come crash our party! http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[rickyboy]

I want to express my congratulations to you Norm, for being chosen by the staff,
to be the "Eastern Regional Leader of Canada". I haven't met you personally but have dealt with you on a small business level and chatted with you online, and have found you to be an upstanding person. I don't know of anyone else IMO that would fit this position better. I look fwd. to working together with you when ever the occasion calls for it.
All the best to the Eastern Canadian members and you.

Hey Norm Congrats on the appointment buddy, I am not sure how Ontario will like to be in the Eastern .......Canada LOL

It wont bother anyone in Ontario one bit to be included in the east. When Trip and I were discussing some of the details about choosing the regions he suggested a central region for Quebec,Ontario and possibly Manitoba. Since there are very few active members in those provinces to warrant a seperate region we decided to split Canada into east and west for now. If the membership grows someday to warrant another region we'll look at it then. Im kinda looking forward to having a ralley one day and meeting up with all of you.
Doing the Cabot Trail is on my list, I did it a few years ago but its not the same with a thirty foot motor home.
For a lot of us in Ontario its easier to travel east, because of the distance and time away from work. I can be in Sydney in 17-18 hours, whereas its almost 24 hours to get to the Manitoba border from here.
I love it out west but just can't get enough time to get out there in the near future.

Now there's an idea for a for future rally, a weeks run down to The Cabot Trail and back. Members can join in all the way down as we get near them.

Sorry Ring , It was a line I wish I had never typed :( One of those quick lines you wish you never said or in this case typed!!

Don't worry about it one bit, I know how you meant it.
No harm done. ;)

[garyo4]

A Cabot Trail trip/rally sounds like a great idea!

[vulcanguy]

Hi all
:) :)
I live in Aylmer, (Quebec) just west over the Ottawa River. This east/west thing in my own opinion is a gr8 idea! regarding the Cabot Trail, I did it in August 2008, loved it & would do it again...
Maybe we could organise a "Get together" to riders from Ottawa & surrounding areas & from that, get to meet other riders from the "east"....


Congrats Norm!!!
Cheers all

Did the cabot in 08 and loved it.

Vulcanguy, I;m in Casselman. pm me anytime you want to ride http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[vulcanguy]

Sounds good, tks!!!!

[kawasakikid]

Hi Guys
We did the Cabot Trail last summer & had a great time & we would do it again.
A group ride/rally would be a great way to meet fellow members.
Gary

Gary when were you doing the Cabot trail?
I was down there the second week of july.

[caper]

Hey Gary , maybe we could do a get together this year :) I think Norm ( CNC ) is comming this way this summer ??? and maybe more will come :) Let me know as I live here in Cape Breton. It would be fun to do the trail ia 2 days wilh a stop over ??

I still hope to Donnie. Things are suddenly a bit up in the air. Cheryl is getting the golden handshake at the end of the month, so if she has a new job by summer she will probably not get any time off.

I still think this could be a great rally idea in the future. Most of us from Ontario and Quebec could ride together for the trip down and back. We would need to plan on being gone one week.

[caper]

Oh ok Norm the best of luck to Cheryl with the end of a chapter and the start of another:). But I hope we are still on for Lake George ?????

[cnc]

Donnie,
Lake George for sure. Cape Breton is not totally dead in the water. like I said, it just depends if Cheryl starts a new job beforehand, she may not get any time off.

[caper]

Well heres hopeing Cheryl starts a new job late in the fall, she needs a break LOL, It would be nice to get to know you both a bit more >>

[kawasakikid]

I was in Cape Breton July 31-Aug. 3/09, we ran the trail on Aug. 2.

I don't know if I could make it this summer, I will keep an eye on this board & see what you guys are going to do.
Gary

I guess we missed each other by about two weeks. Caper is a great tour guide by the way.

25th june,2010. I am a new member as of this date, and I am having problems navigating around the forum site. What I want is to know if any member can tell me where i can buy chrome "Saddlebag Fender Fillers" for my 2001 Nomad FI. I have tried all the suppliers I can think of with no luck. I know they are out there because I have seen them on the same year nomads as mine, but the owners state the fillers were on the bike when they bought it. can anyone HELP.
BigMac.

Hey bigmac welcome to the forum. Where do you call home?
I'm just guessing here, but the ones you saw could also have come off a later model nomad and modified to fit.
Also try posting your question in the Nomad / motorcycle related topics board as it will be seen by the most people there.

[bigmac]

I appreciate the info, and will call him on monday. I live in Brantford and belong to the Blue Knights. How do I go about putting a pic of my bike on the page?

Hey Scott,, Welcome. I guess it has been a while since your last visit. With the increase in Canadian members Trip divided the Canadian region into east and west back in January. I suppose that if numbers warrant it in future years we might divide again and create another region.
Cheers,
Norm

Dave here in Nova Scotia I am a new member. Sold my 1500 vulcan and got a 2011 Nomad. Rain and cold here all week,had to turn the heat on in the house again. Calling for good weather tomorrow so I will get a ride in before I go to sea on Friday. You can bet summer will arrive as soon as we let the lines go. Just a 15 day trip this time,surely there will be great riding weather when I get home. Ride safe everyone.
