It's been a while

It's been a very long time since I've been here in the NW forum. Last time I saw most of you guys was Orofino last summer and I hope all is well.

I let Jared know that we need to find another NW region leader and he asked me to come up with a candidate. I thought I'd post here and see if one of you intrepid souls with a secret desire to be the Most High Exalted Leader of the NW Region would jump at the chance.

So, don't be shy. Let me know who you are. It probably should be someone from Washington or Oregon because that is where most of us are concentrated and it will be easier to get folks together for rides and to plan rallies.

Seriously, let me know who is interested or at least willing to think about it.

(be warned, the pay sux and I'm still waiting on my new Nomad)

Thanks,
Bud

Bud. Nice to hear from you. Hope all is well.

Maybe the NW Region should just be combined with the SW?

Not that many members out here and the NW and SW seem to get along fine. Just a suggestion.

You still riding much?

Seems like most of the NW and SW guys are trading in their Kawasakis for something else. aka ( Various Bagger Association) I agree with Greg, Just combine the NW and SW.

Yep, I still have the Nomad. Plan to take it to Ohio in June and stop in Arkansas on the way back. I ride it every chance I get.

You guys have a good idea. I will run it by Jared to see what he thinks.

No. I'm headed to Ohio mid June to see family and put my Mom's ashes to rest then I'm taking a little detour to Arkansas on the way back. I plan to put almost 6000 miles on the Nomad.

Right..... I'm afraid I'll be switching brands on my next bike.

Kawi just doesn't have anything I'm interested in anymore. I plan to do some test rides this summer. We'll see what peaks my interest...
