SW Regional Thread - no activity in months

Hi everyone,

I've only recently started riding again & joined this forum in July. It's been a great resource already. In checking out the regional areas, I noticed very little activity in the SW Regional section.

If any riders in the SW area happen to ride through the Las Vegas valley, let me know. Another local Nomad owner and I are possibly riding out to the Pioneer Saloon for an early lunch on Saturday. If anyone wants to ride along or meet us there, let me know! I can post the details once they are firm.

I am now an enthusiast. No bike, although I drove by the Pioneer last Saturday. :-)

There are a couple of members who are fairly active on the VBA FB page who are from Vegas area.

The SW Region Leader hasn't been on the forum in months. Many of the more active members here have moved on, I'm afraid.

SMBKE lives in Vegas, I believe. Look him up.

Will do, thank you. There's a local Vulcan Riders group out here as well that I just found.

Hey Stan,

We're planning on taking off from the Silverton at 10:30am Saturday just in case you'd like to meet us there.

Last I saw he had his bikes on CL, if that was him. Is he the one that bought Sin City Stan's Nomad?

No, Glen is not the SW regional leader. He moderates the FB page. Glen is also one of the most enthusiastic Nomad owners around, owning multiple Nomads and flipping them on a regular bases. I think I've known him to have 5 Nomad now.

Those commenting that the SW board is not that active are welcome to post and promote activity.... Looking back at the past couple of years, it looks like this same conversation comes up year after year.

The RL isn't the only person allowed to post in this board.

Hey all, Regional Leader here...��

It's absolutely true I've not been posting to the regional page in months. I lost the use of my tablet, and it's significantly harder on the phone sized screen, but it's possible. I also unfollowed EVERY person and group on Facebook EXCEPT VBA. (And have been commenting from time to time there.) That said, the region is in very good hands, and LOTS of GREAT members riding and working on their rides. So, I make this commitment. I'll check in on the forum on the SW page at least once each week from now on. I know that may not seem like a lot or hardly anything to some who post multiple times a day, but I WILL keep tabs, and if you post to the VBA Facebook or put my name on any post, I'll get it and respond. My Nomad is the only motorized vehicle I own, and I have put on an average of 25k a year, so I'm out there with you, advocating for you and yours, personally willing and connected to those who can answer or find answers to just about anything you want or need to find.

If that's not what you want in a RL, say what you need, and I'll work on that. Brandon (ARL) and I have been putting out heads together in with a few others in discussions about the '16 SW Region Rally, and if we iron out a few more what ifs, will be ready for general input and final announcement very shortly.

Thanks to those who want to get all they can out of belonging, and try to make it the best for all the rest of us. Let me know personal IM or here or wherever if you have specific suggestions or requests from me...

John Dyer

It'll be interesting to see where the 2016 SW regional will be.
