Hi all,
I did my certified ride in 2004 an SS1000 on my Harley Davidson Electra Glide and I think it was 2008 when Roger Allen had a meeting in the Avalon in Whitley Bay as the first AGM of IBA UK.
At that time I was a partner in a Promotional Advertising Business and started to make things with IBA UK Logo on them. Roger wanted the logo out there and asked that the items be self funding and not make a profit for IBA UK. For many years I funded the stock myself but with Phil's assistance all the stock now belongs to IBA UK and the shop is in rude health and contributing financially to IBA UK.
Well three presidents later I gave up the Shop yesterday to John Cunniffe who is now your new shop keeper. The shop now has a wide range of items and our logo is definitely out there in the UK Motorcycling World. This is my third retirement, retired from being Geordie HOG Director, retired from being a Partner in Action Advertising and now retired as your Shop Keeper - getting good at this retirement Malarkey!
I'd like to thank you all for the support in buying stuff that got our logo out there and also contributed to the running of IBA UK. I know you will all give John the support he needs as he takes on my mantel.
Thanks for the ride and hope to see you all at an event near you soon.
Love, light and kindness,
Dave
