Tom Doratti is back!
Things are going fine but I won't be coming home until the end of March. I have had some medical problems that have got in the way of my progress and of course, my "get out of jail" date. For those of you that keep in touch, thank you. It's nice to hear from the club and to hear that things are going well. Ann and I will be to renewing our memberships, I hope every-one is doing well and that this winter ends soon. Tom D.

BARTON & LAURA FROM KAMLOOPS
***************************************
I own a DJ company and play music for weddings and hall parties.
I like playing pool, darts, golf, blackjack and poker, even though
I'm not very good at any of them.
I have been riding for over 30 years and have never once been
pulled over on a bike. (Knock on wood!)
I got my first Harley in the Spring of 2003 and moved from Spruce Grove, Alberta
to Penticton that Fall.
I had Open Heart Surgery in April of 2004 and wasn't allowed to ride at all that summer. I've since decided that Life Is Here To Be Savored. I have ridden every chance I get since then.
Everyone should just Stop! and re-examine their priorities from time to time.
Taking the day off to go for a ride or go to the beach is now at the top of my list.
Give me a call if you want to come along some time.

Karen & Terry, at Whiskey Jacks in Westbank doing a poker station.
I have been a member since 2001. My first meeting ended with me being Secretary/Treasurer. I created the first web-site and set up the email addy etc.
Most years I attended the toy-runs, in my car, and have been tail end Charlie because of it. But....
I met Terry in 2006. The following spring he bought me a '95 Sporty. That fall he bought himself an '08 Soft tail Deluxe and has spent this winter lowering and modifying the Sporty so I fit it better. It's not easy being a little person...

Cliff Valois and Cheri Kolstad
Have a total of 50 years riding experience between the tow of them. They began working on bikes when they realized how much fun it was to pick up a garage reject and rebuild it. Dirt Bikes and Cruisers are all equally a great past time in the family. Cliff’s entire family, spread out all over BC, all have their own rides, Mom and Dad included. As their kids became old enough to ride, they bought their own bikes and joined in the rides with the rest of the gang. Cliff has been trained to work on most makes of bikes over the past 25 years and had taught up and coming motorcycle technicians at MMI in Florida.
Cheri rides with her best pal Deja, and works with dogs and motorcycles anywhere people ask her to go.
Together and individually they have traveled to Las Vegas, Florida, Texas, California, Arizona and across to North Dakota, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Cliff has learned to take his tools with him when he is on the road as it seems that more and more often he is asked by riders to help them get their ride back on the road.
