State of KawaNOW address...

Many of you guys that have been members of KawaNOW for a while know that I get kind of "teary eyed" when KawaNOW hits a milestone.

Over the last three and a half years...we've hit several. In the next week or two, KawaNOW will hit another..... our 1600th member!

Right now, we're at 1590, but with the average of 5 new members a week, we'll hit 1600 in no time. These milestones are a testiment to the hard work and dedication all of you have to KawaNOW. My thanks and congratulations to all of you.

Another item I'd like to let you know about is that I've been invited to the 2011 Kawasaki Product unveiling that will be held in Las Vegas, October 5th and 6th. Kawasaki Corp has been gracious enough to invite me as well as the other affiliate leaders, to come and see the new 2011 motorcycles as well as touch, sit, feel and size-up everything they have. There will also be a dinner for the Affiliate Leaders on Wednesday Night.

I'm looking forward to a great time and seeing the new 2011 Kawasaki products.

Trip

Oh, wait, they generally have some nice looking women standing by the bikes. Sooooooooooo, do what ever you can get away with.

October seems such a long way away from now. I'd love to know if they are coming out with anything new and interesting.

WOW!! that sounds great Trip. Congrats to KawaNOW and you. I have to admit though when you said "Kawasaki Corp has been gracious enough to invite me as well as the other affiliate leaders, I all of a sudden wondered, "does that mean regional leaders?" Hey Kris what are you doing in October??

Anyway have a great time.
