Tonight was Bow Cycles (local Yamaha/Honda/Kawasaki Dealer) Customer Appreciation Night. Hey, I gotta tell ya, not a bad gig put on by those folks at Bow Cycle. A red carpet welcomes you in the door, good looking girls, with just the right amount of flesh showing (I am a dog) greet you at the sign in table. Fill out a ticket for a draw for Flames tickets and they gave me a little gift bag with a few Christmas goodies like chocolate and a free ticket to the Motorcycle show and a $10.00 gift certificate for whatever. I am thinking they are off to a good start. And it only got better. Next was the beer table. I'll have a Heineken thank you. On to the food. Whoo Hoo and there was lots of food. Beer, food, free stuff, Heck, I am in Hog Heaven! After a beer some good eats on the Bow boys, I am ready to look for my Christmas present. The discounts on after market stuff was 25%. Not shabby. Yamaha branded stuff only 15%. lol Big surprise huh. So I left with no extra chrome, but did pick up a new riding jacket. http://www.power-trip.com/products.cfm?products_id=225 Pretty cool. Feels like a good heavy and warm jacket for the cold days, waterproof for the wet ones, decent armour if you decide to get off in a hurry and all the layers can be removed leaving you an armoured mesh jacket for those hot days. I am hoping it is the one jacket I need to carry with me for almost all conditions. All in all not a bad way to spend an hour or so. A tip of the touque from this Actual Rider to Bow Cycle for sponsoring the event. Walt Healy (another Yamaha dealer) are you reading? There's still time before Christmas and I still need more chrome. -- Don RCOS# 7 No Riding Today 2000 - Yamaha Venture Millenium Edition http://www3.telus.net/public/dbinns/radium1.htm http://www3.telus.net/public/dbinns/banff.htm http://www3.telus.net/public/dbinns/kananaskis.htm http://www3.telus.net/public/dbinns/walkercalgary.htm http://www3.telus.net/public/dbinns/calgarybrowning.htm http://www3.telus.net/public/dbinns/venture.htm http://www3.telus.net/public/dbinns/gem.htm http://www3.telus.net/public/dbinns/highwood.htm http://www3.telus.net/public/dbinns/reynolds.htm http://www3.telus.net/public/dbinns/sask.htm http://www3.telus.net/public/dbinns/osoyoos.htm
