We'd Like To Say "Thanks!"

There are many people who work hard to make the Vancouver Motorcycle Show fun and exciting.  From the people that take your helmet and jacket at the door, to the people that take your tickets (who work all show long and donate their pay to assist in the fine work of the Association of Injured Motorcyclists) to the people that build the wild KTM EnduroX track and the Mini, Café Racer’s Cup and Rat Bike track, and set up the RCMP demo and stunt course, to the flaggers and volunteers who keep everything safe, to the track co-ordinators, there are many club members working very hard out there to make this event a success.  We would like to acknowledge and thank them. 
 
Our demonstrations would certainly not be nearly as exciting without our announcers:
For Supermoto, the KTM EnduroX,  the Mini Bike Challenge, the Rock ‘N Race, announcer extraordinaire, Mr. Ted Shannon.
For the RCMP police riding demonstrations, Corporal Bryan Fedirchuk
For the Café Racer’s Cup – Mr. Dave Woolley of the British Motorcycle Owners Club
For the Westcoast Freestyle Stunt Team show, so good he is known by only one name – Saturnin

Dan Harding and the Gospel Riders Coat Check Volunteers

On behalf of the motorcycle show and the MMIC and COHV and myself, we thank you for coming today and hope you have a great time at the show.  If you did, please acknowledge all these hard working club members and volunteers with a smile or a thanks, they would really appreciate it.
