Link Is No Longer Available But...
Remember this article from the seemingly distant past?
"Now, This Is REALLY
Goin' South!
" Dear BM Rider:
AAA Motorbike Tours
Southern Africa offers great tours through South Africa and up to the Victoria Falls. The Kruger National
Park tours, taking 5 days, starts in Johannesburg and we ride over beautiful mountain passes to the Blyde
Canyon. From there we ride to the Kruger National Park gate with a Safari excursion. The second tour
starts as well from Johannesburg and we ride to Kimberley (the big hole), Beaufort West (Karoo, desert)
to Cape Town (Cape of Good Hope a must picture over your desk), Hermanus (Whale watching), the entire
Garden Route and then back over the Golden Gate National Park to Johannesburg. Further we offer the Victoria
Falls by bike. All tours are guided and a support vehicle with a fully qualified bike mechanic is following
us. For Bike clubs we offer 15% discount on our prices. Please check out our webpage at
www.aaamotorbiketourssouthernafrica.com"
Well, this link is no longer available but I "googled" motor bike tours in south africa and I
received several "hits"; all totalled, over 180,000. However, none really resembled the above link.
I will leave this article in for another 4-6 months, then I will remove it. I cannot speak for all
but my funds don't really permit me to globe-hop much.

The Treasurer's Push
I took the liberty of copying an email that Murray had sent around
with regards to regular meetings and the advantages of attending them:
""Mark the first sunday
of each month on your planning calendars, as you may not always receive the monthly reminders that you
have been used too. "
Now, be honest............did you all do that ? From the slim attendance
at our last breakfast gathering, I suspect not .
Of course there are a few benefits to smaller
gatherings :
1. better odds to win the 50/50,
2. one can esily hear what the fellow at the far
end of the table is saying, and
3. less strain on the Club treasury (if that happens to be the random
days that the Club buys "paid up" member's breakfasts).
Speaking of Club funds covering random
breakfasts (and also yearly BMOA Charter dues, etc.), to help cover the cost of those again this year,
2010 dues (a meagre $10) will be payable starting this sunday. I know you will all rush to be first
in line to do that .

N-n-nobody's Fault But Mine
Excuses are like, what you sit on; everyone has one. I
know. It's been a totally unacceptably long time since the website's been updated.
However,
it's finally updated. I just need to scrounge around for more articles to fill in the space(s). For starters,
Murray's no longer the president. A guy by the name of Steve Bridges is now the president. Murray has
now taken on the role of our club's treasurer. Murray tells me that I should get out to more meetings;
I'd know this fact. I responded that I've been to at least a couple of meetings since Murray stepped
down from the role of president - I guess I just didn't take note as to who the president is. My guess
is it's the guy who reminded me that the website needs to be updated. Thus, here I am. I mean, here
it is.
I will be at the next meeting, on Feb. 7th. I would like to get everyone's feedback
concerning the website. Examples:
1.) is everyone comfortable with a members present list being
put on the website?
2.) has the Arm River run option been revisited?
3.) are we as
a group going to put anything together for a bike show, if there is one in the near future?
Anyhow, I'm looking forward to seeing old faces and new, at the meeting this Sunday. Forgive me if I
should know your name and I don't. I'm often afflicted with CRS* when it comes to names.
*Can't
