Pretty quiet!! Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Hi there everyone.
Just thought I'd refresh the page with "something".
I'm assuming that because it's so quiet here, It's because of the winter weather we are now going through. I don't suppose many are out riding. It's been real wet here so there are few bikes out on the road where I live. Having said that though, it looks pretty nice right now at 8:30 AM. Sun is shining and it's a balmy 5* in Langley.
Is anyone doing anything to their rides this winter? I should be getting the Nomad back from the shop soon and I think I'll try tackling the steering bearing. Has anyone done this before? Any pointers I should/could know about?
What about mods.....anything planned?
What about a Christmas gift wish list? No I'm not buying for the "...Nomad Riders" My wife and I don't buy for each other in the traditional way. She says what she wants ....we go she shows me, and I buy it. Then,....I say what I want and I order online or go get it. Works for me. This year I got my "extra Paint" done on the bike, buying a Garmin GPS., buying a indicator light bezel to fill the hole that needs filling in the new inner fairing.

Anyway.....I just thought I'd see what the "west coast guys" were up to. I hope everyone is well. Stay tuned in.
What are everyone's plans for trips and so on for next summer. It looked like there are some going to the "Rally in the Redwoods"
I'd like to start talking with Kevin Clark to see about a rally in 2012. It'll be the regional rally year. If anyone has some suggestions, even though it's a long ways off, start a thread here, and let's put some ideas out there. I'd love to host something and invite whomever wants to come from the other regions. Show them some of the best that motorcycle riding has to offer. I've been in touch with Kawai Canada and the Canadian rep. wants to know if/when/what we have planned and he said he'd support us 100% and would love to show up if it's at all possible.

Ciao for now
