Is he a myth?

[trip]

While at the Int'l Motorcycle Show this past weekend, I got to meet Nightrider and his wife. After shaking his hand and introducing myself, Bob said, "Ahh, you're Trip...you are for real".

I laughed and told him that yes, I was for real. So, Bob's comment got me to thinking.......over the last year KawaNOW has seen a number of new members that probably haven't taken the time to get to know me and the history of KawaNOW. It also got me to thinking that maybe....just maybe there are others in KawaNOW that think I'm just a virtual administrator.

So, I write this just to reaffirm each of you that I am real and work behind the scenes on a daily basis to make sure KawaNOW is here for you when you need it. I'm not one of these admins that likes to butt his nose in every conversation. As big as KawaNOW is getting, it's hard to keep abreast of every conversation on every thread...but I try. I like to listen more than I talk, which is probably why many of you don't know me that well.

I'd like to encourage all new members to get to know me better and learn about my mission for KawaNOW by reading the About KawaNOW web page at http://www.kawanow.org/about.htm and feel free to take a look at my personal website at http://www.hilliard.ws . Also, if you haven't looked at it, you can learn all there is to know about the KawaNOW Forum at http://www.kawanow.org/forumfaq/forumfaq.htm .

Also, feel free to learn about and get to know Jeff (Socwkbiker) Platz and the KawaNOW Moderators at http://www.kawanow.org/staff.htm .

In conclusion, I'd like to say thanks to Nightrider for spurring my thought process and giving me a heads up. Although I wasn't able to attend any of the Regional Rally's last year, I will be at the National Rally this year in Custer....come hell or high water. I would love to see as many KawaNOW members there as possible and I look forward to meeting all of you and shaking your hands.

My virtual door is always open to all of you. Feel free to send me your thoughts and constructive comments. I thank you for being a member of and supporting KawaNOW.

"KawaNOW and FOREVER"
